Something random……

I rarely shoot close ups nowadays as i much prefer to see the bigger (wider) side of things. It is for this same reason that my telephoto lens (Nikon 100/2.8 E) sees very little use these days. 

When i started getting serious about photography, the aim was to get lenses that can cover from the widest to the longest.
Well, how was i to know – i was still too green to have my picks and preferences. Now that i’ve been doing this for more than a year, i can say for certain that i prefer to see the bigger (wider) side of things – focal lengths 28, 35 & 50mm is home territory for me

P.S. will talk about super-wides (sub 28mm) in the near future.

On a side note, i have exams (hate!!!) coming in a few weeks time!! So updates might be a bit erratic and less frequent.
Also, i am very very close to developing my own negatives. After much consideration and deliberation, i’ve settled on Kodak Tri-X  and D76 as my film and developer combination. How exciting!! Should be able to ’soup’ my first test roll after the bloody exam.
