Nifty Fifty

I know I said I'd post more colour but then I started learning some different black and white/monochrome processing techniques and I'm now OBSESSED.

See I do colour too. I love blossom. 

I guess this post is a bit of a love letter to my 50mm f/1.8 lens. I rarely use it for self portraits out of pure laziness. The lens doesn't autofocus on my D40 which is a bit of a pain if you're trying to take photos but you're in a bit of a hurry (all the more reason to upgrade to the D90, I suppose).

I did use it the other day to take the above photo and I got some really cool results, I'm definitely going to start making more of an effort with it.

Leap Day

To celebrate February 29th, the lovely folks at Flickr asked people to submit photos of them jumping so I decided to join in.

I'd forgotten how exhausting jumping shoots are. They also make you look like an idiot but I don't really care about that.

It was fun though, I'd recommend it if you're feeling a little too energetic but can't be bothered to go for a run because it's raining or you don't like the idea of running.

I, clearly, got a little tired at this point.

Next post should probably be in colour. It is spring after all.
