Light and Shadow, Free or Captured?, originally uploaded by MisiekBunnik.
A saturday afternoon walk, a nice play of light and shadow. But also it raises a question. Is this scene behind the fence or in front and therefor is this a representative for freedom or capture?Digilux 2, iso100, F2.4, 1/640, 90mm

We had a lovely walk in a not yet discovered (by us) little piece of land with a lot of forest treasures…Leica Digilux 2, conversion with snapseed on Ipad
I know, it has been said so many times. The best camera is the one you have with you… I actually wished I had a ‘proper’ camera with me when I watched the sun hitting the tulips and the candle holders on that glass table. What to do?
Well, perhaps about time to test my Iphone4 for the first time using the Hipstamatic application. I chose the Jimmy Lens because it is in my opinion the most ‘regular’ one. Actually I am quite happy with the outcome. The noise is not that bad and the feeling is quite well captured.
I watched this scene from my couch after work and wanted to do the close up as you see it all now. I liked the glass and the corks almost hiding behind each other, the warm light is from the 5′o clock afternoon sun. I picked my Leica Digilux 2 for this shot because it will go to a 90mm focal length needed to give some bokeh to the scene. I dialed the exposure in by hand to give a bit of overexposure. My DP1 would give the same pixelcount or resolution but i would not be able to get close enough to give me the picture as i saw it in my head.
This type of photography is for me all about fun, watching the surroundings around you, envision a picture and take it with a tool that matches the job. I hope you enjoy watching it. A slight vignette was added in Lightroom, I do want to use as little processing as needed and want to avoid even that small step in the future. It is to easy to give the photo a totally different look with all the software tools available today, in my opinion it should not be needed?
A first try to generate and post a converted image that suits the title of the blog.
The picture is taken with my Sigma DP2 and was converted on my iPad using “camerabag”. Posted by the word press app on the iPad.
A rainy view of a place two hours walking from “Dolina Rudnika”, our new to become home in Michałowice, Poland
I placed an older picture, but looking back at it, it tells a story..
A story of the droplet that is captured by the flower.
It knows it needs it, like we need our love ones…
Yesterday we visited a rose garden, this was not planned. I do carry my DP1 with me all the time, but boy, did I miss my AML-1 close up lens at that afternoon. Luckily the crops from the DP1 are so clean and sharp, that I decided to place them, being so happy with the outcome. Because we were there with friends, the photos taken were at a quick pace and I was not expecting so much.. Oh, what was I surprised when I saw them on the pc this morning… Believe me, please click them to enjoy the ful colour of the Foveon sensor full screen. I am so happy with this camera….

The DP1 files watched at 100% are simply amazing, it is incredible what quality this camera, lens and foveon sensor is producing.
Playing a bit, it’s rainy outside… I wanted another macro shot and could not find anything interesting. Holding the camera myself, took 3 shots to get the distance somewhat right. Sorry about the flash, or is it the light in my eyes?

There is something magic about ‘fill light’ in Sigma Pro Photo. In other applications I know the slider starts at 0 and you can only go up and indeed, fill light. However, in SPP it start at 0 and you can go down and up… This is what you get if you go negative…

My second shot with the DP-1 and the tiffen close up set +1 +2 +4 stacked, manual focus, which is easy… Happy!
Two examples of the colur and texture that nature provides and that a camera can capture.
I made these on request by my girlfriend, she want them displayed on our wall printed at 30x40cm.
Taken with canon G7, developed in Raw Therapee and framed with Photoscape.
