Friday I braved the face melting heat and snuck out to the garden around our new building at work. I like the lights there and while I didn’t have the perfect lens for the job, it worked out very well using my Yashica 55mm. I used the old school method and backed my ass up until I got it in frame. Some minor cropping and some heavy editing in Topaz BW Effects and I am very pleased with the final…
Zeiss glass and a cheap chatskis makes for a rather dull photo but I was amused. She sits on top my desk hutch along with Buddy Christ, a Chinese Buddha, a Thai Buddha, and Russian nesting dolls. Call me eclectic. Photo Nerd Info: Panasonic G3, Zeiss 50mm 2.8, f2.8, 1/100, ISO 400.
Where I was in WV is just riddled with old barns that are falling into disrepair. So I took some time coming back and photographing them. This one has been there since my parents first bought the property 20+ years ago. I used Topaz BW Effects to convert it.

I haven’t posted anything for awhile as I am still recovering from Thailand blues and I had to process about 1000 pictures from an event I shot before going to Thailand so I was allergic to photography for a bit. Spike over at Pattaya Days was shooting with his Yashica 55mm lens and I own one so I threw it in my kit bag before heading to my parents house. So put the the lens on the camera, switched to manual…
