Trying something different /  by Jan Wallin

The weather outside in November is not very attractive for picking up the camera and get out. So when I saw some dried rose buds on the kitchen table I thought I would try another idea.

The idea is a series of pictures of three, in canvas. I have tried the prints and it actually turned out pretty good.

October offered a number of occasions to pick up the camera. At the beginning of the month there were beautiful autumn colors in the nature around where I live and later in the month I made a couple of trips to some beautiful locations.

A short trip to Ireland and County Kerry in the beginning of the month gave the opportunity for a short sightseeing in the area of Killarney National Park and since I had the camera with me I did take som photographs. I also had a tripod with me on the trip but I did not bring it with me because the others in the travel company would have ben forced to wait for me every minute then and there was no time for that. So the shots are handheld or the camera is placed on a rock.

The area was fantastic and I will really try to get there soon again for a real photo trip.

The week after the trip to Ireland it was time for this autumn photo trip. This year to Venice Italy for a change of perspective and something other than landscape photography. The only miscalculation was that it was just me who realized it was off season .. there were an incredible amount of people, especially during the weekend, but I still managed to get som shots I am happy with but I would have hoped for som more morning mist even rain.

When I left, all of Venice was embedded in fog and the aircraft could not land at the airport. Then it was sad to be stuck at the airport with such conditions outdoors.

From F to Z. /  by Jan Wallin

So the game changes. I’ve used Nikon F lenses since 1985 and beside some DX lenses for my old D90 and a short zoom I still have on an old film camera I’m selling all of my F lenses and my D850 to jump ship to mirrorless and a Z7 and the new range of Z S lenses. I’m not going for the FTZ adapter.

I’m looking forward to a lighter system but with the same image quality and performance. The downside is that I will have to wait for a couple of weeks since its on backorder.
