Some days I just want to go out and shoot anything at f1.8 - like this taken yesterday:
I found this plastic bag in bondage on a barbed wire fence intriguing.
Some days of late, I just want to see stuff through a cheap pinhole lens, just to see what it looks like - that's all. Like this gable wall of the steading at Ardoch:
Better still, leave it in colour. Most pinhole images - that is REAL pinhole images (which mine are not really) - are always in black and white.
As well as the cheap pinhole, I have a cheap plastic Holga lens and my mood of late is to take 'pretty' pictures with a messy, plastic lens. Most end up in the delete bin but some just about get saved due to happy accidents, like this one of Lochnagar:
None of this on their own means much but if I can add them all together in the right way for the right image, something may happen.
Hassles and issues at work this year has seen me in a real mood or mixture of feelings - mostly negative. I think there is a connection with my frustrated, negative mood and this desire to just get out with my camera and do stuff, like some form of anger release.
Anybody else experience this?
Does productive, creative work only happen when your mind is in a 'good' place?
