Visited this ancient church to see its medieval wall paintings. Quite spectacular to see but not ideal to photograph. The church itself was quite nice in the falling autumn sunlight.... Click here to comment on this image. ____________________ Eric

The old adage of “the best camera is the one you have to hand” comes to mind. The beauty of mobile phones is they are invariably in your pocket. Without it being there, you would have missed capturing the special moment. ____________________ Eric

Gremlins in the camera bag

Always check settings before shooting


Last post in topic: 2024-11-07 15:08:36 by Eric
Do other people suffer gremlins or some mischievous phantoms in their camera bags? Took my Fuji IR camera out of the bag to grab an opportune photograph….and it wouldn’t focus! Not having used it for some months (and being a different make/model to my colour camera) I was momentarily bemused. Reseated lens, checked all camera settings, reseated lens again. I then noticed the little lever on the front of the body was facing M for manual. I had forgotten that little lever existed and cannot remember ever using it on IR. Some little ***** had obviously been fiddling with it while it was in my camera bag. Later that same day………. Senior management wanted me to photograph a whole series of medieval stain glass windows in a dark church. Didn’t have my tripod. Of course it was in the car…. but that was 100m away. “I can handhold for this quick job” I confidently expostulated. Back in the car I reviewed the images from the Sony, as the last of the days meagre lighting faded…..some of the frames were not sharp! Shutter speeds of 1/40th, with image stabilisation should still be easy to handhold. Then I saw the image stabilisation switch on the lens was OFF. Senior management wasn’t happy. “ I should have used my iPhone” was the frosty response. Memo to self: 1. Check ALL camera settings before taking the first photograph. 2. Fumigate camera bag to kill all gremlins and other phantom fiddlers. 3. Check ALL camera settings again before taking the second photograph…..in case you didn’t kill all the gremlins. ____________________ Eric

IR & BW photography

A single track road (with passing places) in the Gloucester hills. It was a dull overcast day and the deciduous trees were starting to loose their leaves...ie they were dying off. What surprised me was how the IR response has also dropped off. The (browny yellow) leaves now have as little IR response as the surrounding conifers. Compare this to the response of the still growing green grass verges. of course a bit of sunlight would have lifted the whole scene but the contrast between the green grass and autumn foliage would even then have rendered the same stark contrast. Interesting result ....maybe I should now put the IR camera to bed for the winter? Click here to comment on this image. ____________________ Eric
