Last chance for these old lenses
in journal
I have way too much camera equipment, and most of it I don’t even use, so I’ve been on a selling spree lately. I sold a few things including some lenses, but when I found these two sitting on a shelf in the closet, they made me pause. They are the Zeiss 16-70mm f/4 and the Sony G 70-350mm. I made so many good images with these two back in the day… but I haven’t touched them in a while. So, to decide whether I love them or list them, I’m taking both out to Lake Michigan to shoot some amazing winter scenes and see if they can still perform.

Contact sheets from Michigan City
in journal
I've been taking many more images than I usually do lately. It's been so cold that I need to keep moving to stay warm, so I don't have as much time to think about the composition. I shoot every angle that looks interesting, and go through those shots later from a warm home.
Thing is, I delete a lot of pictures. I felt like it was a waste, so I created a few contact sheets that I share with you in this video.

The images that exist now
in journal
A couple of days ago, I talked about the images that don't exist yet, and how I usually get excited about the images that I'm about to make. I also talked about the snow we were going to get that day, and in this video, you can see the result. You can see the images that didn't exist, that do now.
It's time to wonder about the next ones.
A very productive day at Lake Michigan's south shore
in journal
I'm back after a couple of weeks without videos. This time, from Lake Michigan, my favorite place to photograph in Indiana.
It was a long but very productive day. I revisited old places and used my newest lens for the first time.
Shooting digital in Michigan City, Indiana
in journal
I made some of my favorite images of this past winter in Michigan City, Indiana. The black and white fits perfectly the wintery landscape, but I also saw the potential for some color once the weather improved a bit.
That's why it was the first place that came to my mind to try my two new lenses for the Sony a6500.
I decided to pull the trigger on these two to finally upgrade my digital kit (I'd been shooting with the very inexpensive kit lenses forever), rushed by our imminent move overseas. Everything is much more expensive here, as I explain in the video.
It was a nice morning at Lake Michigan, as I was able to make the three images I was hoping for. Not exactly what I had in mind (especially the one of the hut on the beach), but still time well spent outdoors.

I know. I've been lagging behind. Things have been a bit busy since we got to Spain due to paperwork and well, just life. But fear not, I'll be back next week with new videos and images.
For now, this one I made just before leaving the US, in Michigan City, Indiana. I drove there from Goshen for sunrise since I wanted to take a couple of shots before the light became too harsh.
The video about how I made this one, and the other two I took that morning, is coming soon, very soon.
