Yep the weekend has packed it in on us again. Jammed full of do this do that sort of things. The biggest event was probably serving the breakfast for Sinclaire's friends as they came in to Calgary for a birthday event. Anyway enough about University kids and the fun they get to have.
Weekend. Over. I am not sure where the time went but I am again facing that little winter blah. I am not sure if I want to really do much beyond sit around and relax. I am not finding very much all that interesting. I am going to try and motivate myself to get after some other photos, something that needs to happen is take some pictures. I will be hopefully getting these old black and white negatives which I am very curious to see, I plan to spend some hours on those. Maybe I will get a chance to work on them in Feb or March. Not sure I have a bunch of work related travel so I am sure there will be a few nights of boredom.
I have been hard at work doing some painting on Friday, again bored so figured it was something that needed to be done so went ahead and did that. Colour is great and the room looks very fresh and new again. Now if we could just get rolling on the kitchen. We are going to get the quotes in Feb or March for the ceiling work. I am away too much in Feb so it may be March but we really need to get the drywalling done. The plan is laid out and I think a go for the most part.
Enough on the home renos I am going to get back to my photos. I have found a bunch of new concepts on how to edit my work, this expose for the highlights and then recover the shadows. Works great. I have started to use this more often so that I actually remembered to do this the last time I picked up my camera it was funny I shot a couple of pictures and then went back and shot again as I said need to try exposing this a little differently.
Well camera stuff is on my mind as I am really thinking of what to do, I want to maybe update my camera to a newer body. I see some things in the d750 that I really like lots more brackets of exposure that I could use to elevate my HDR shots. Tilt screen, I know who uses that but I know I would. Anyway tough to justify the money right now but I have been looking at selling a few items and then I would sell my d600 and hopefully cover the expense a bit. So if anyone is in the market for a nice camera nikon d600 full frame sensor, keep me in mind.
I got into a discussion on Facebook about buttons. I know some of you may know this already as you are in that discussions so I am going to go and find some buttons to photograph. I think this a great thing. The challenge, find a way to put buttons into your image, make a few pics and see what we come up with. Anyway I am going to maybe work on that tonight. Button photos. Sounds like a good indoor picture opportunity. Going to try and get creative. So come on back and see if I get my motivation going and post the pictures......one has to have a little fire every once in a while
Cheers
