I had some time to kill this afternoon, so walked around, getting the occasional confused look as I photographed some dead ivy on a wall, or the like.

Shooting exclusively with my Lensbaby Composer and the Edge 35 Optic @ f/3.5.

We had a trip to Gunwharf Quays yesterday. The light was beautiful and I was able to get several good photos out of it. All shot with a Tokina 11-16mm lense.

I loved the reflections in this pool, which was an unusual colour.

I was interested in the curves of the buildings, which was accentuated by the lense.

Number one. This photo very much lended itself to a 2:1 crop. I really liked the strong lines.

I initially thought this photo hadn’t come out as I’d liked, but after going back to it and messing in Exposure X4.5, I managed to get something I liked.

Number two. I was very pushed to decide which of these looking out to sea I preferred, so they’ve both gone up.

So today I remembered my camera battery and took some photos on a dog walk, along the cliff path and up to a cafe. All shots were taken with a Lensbaby Composer, with the Edge 35 Optic.

So, I forgot to take my camera battery with me today, leaving me with just my phone camera. I’ve only ever used it for snap shots, so didn’t really know how it performed. It’s fine out wide. As soon as you focus up close you find it’s all digital zoom. Very disappointing as I wanted to do some macro photography. Even more disappointing was that the macro shots I did take looked good on the screen, but crap when I put them on the computer. I guess you win some, you lose some.
