I seem to be making a habbit of these after-work photowalks. There’s nothing like night shift to get the creative juices flowing especially on one of the first sunny days after weeks of hard to stand weather. Today was meant to be a partly cloudy day so I thought it would be great to shoot some HDR images and just generally be out in the open after being couped up at work.
The sun is a tricky thing. Every time it comes out it gives me a false sense of it being warm, which in this case was dead wrong. It was pretty windy and my hands froze even in gloves. (Mental note: Get wind-proof gloves!) The cameras were feeling it too, the 350D decided the battery was low but continued working fine for the entire day. Today I also had the chance to try out my new photo backpack, the Lowepro Flipside 400 AW. Great bag… I tend to get back ache when carrying my large Crumpler shoulderbag, with the backpack, none whatsoever, the weight is really evenly distributed. The great thing about it though is the ease of access, it opens up on the side that goes on your back and can hang from your body by just the waist strap leaving your hands free to deal with gear.
Here are some images from today:
