Sunday I took out two camera bodies, five lenses, flash gear…and only got a couple photos I really liked. So today I’m going to try something different: one camera body, two lenses I don’t frequently use, one tiny flash. Let’s see if this constraint=creativity equation works out for me.

“Peaceful Morning”

A somewhat chilly view of Fall Creek from the trail that runs above it on the hillside. Who needs a drone?

“Fisheye out of Water”

Intersection of Fall Creek and Timber Creek.

“Unnecessary Sign”

Fortunately there was a handy log just upstream.

“Frostmelt”

Walking the trail in bright sun after freezing fog resulted in millions of sparkling drops everywhere.

“Rebirth”

Spotted this one tiny mushroom while I was hiking through a completely burned area along Fall Creek.

“Escape”

succulents growing over the edge of a planter

“Spring Preview”

Spent some time in my yard playing with a new-to-me lens (Sony 1.8/35 SAM on an A58). Pretty noisy even at fairly low ISO but I got some nice macro shots with pleasing background blur.

“Butterflies in the Rain”

Another of Eugene’s many murals.

“Weathered Wave”

Architectural detail from Eugene Fire Station #1 with (obviously) some cinematic post-processing.
