...into some experimenting


Well, the photography bug has bit me again after a 20 year lapse (has it really been THAT long)? It was digital that rekindled it, after shooting roll after roll, and not getting any better, a cheaper hobby had to be found. I never did find another hobby, maybe I knew that someday I'd get back into it. I bought a Sony P & S "just for the hell of it". That was 3 years ago. Since then, I've bought a Canon 300D, not the most glamorous, (well, compared to a Canon 1D) but, I'm back in the 'groove'. The reason for this blog is purely for 'different' things I want to photograph, such as IR, maybe even a bit of digital manipulation if the urge arises. I have a site where my "normal, everyday" shots reside. I've just picked up a second hand Minolta Dimage 7 for some IR work. Not sure if I'll get it modified or just persist with the R72 filter. Actually, nifty lil camera. I did some IR work with the 300D, but the slow shutter speeds were, a pain in the butt. This one was taken with the Canon, not too bad. When I get the chance this week, I'll upload some from the DiMage.
