A real stress reliever for me, the photo walk, combines a bit of exercise, photographic exploration and for me the challenge of limiting myself to one theme and lens choice. I think of a subject to shoot and attempt to keep myself within those bounds. People that know me well are aware of my ability to become distracted and photograph in one small spot for an extended period of time!
Yesterday, I went on a photo walk through town to capture a few shots of the emerging spring flowers. I took my 18-70 f/3.5 lens and my close-up filters. (I’ve come to discover that the filters aren’t of the best quality and they make me want an f/1.4 lens) The following pics are a few of my favorites from the walk.
