A Solo Task
From the guitar factory in Solo City before I caught this image… The title is an intended half-pun on the guitar solo 😛

The Optimist
The beauty of taking digital photographs in the RAW format is that as technology evolves and RAW processors get more advanced, you can always go back to your original RAW file and use it like a digital negative to revisit pictures that you may not thought of processing in the past. I have using RAW since I started getting serious into digital photography, using initially CaptureONE and then moving to Lightroom. I have just upgraded to the newest version of Lightroom and decided to revisit some pictures I took during my stint in the UK. The above was taken at Weymouth just as the sun was about to set in the evening. I love the warm tones and reflections — Lightroom was able to process the picture with much less noise than what I was able to achieve in the previous version.
Give Me A Sign
I have been wanting to get good glass at a focal length of 300mm for quite some time, especially after I moved up to full-frame with the 5D Mark III — the absence of the focal length “multipler” effect meant that I no longer have the reach I used to have with my older DSLRs. I finally got that “dream-lens” yesterday. Venturing out to the Marina Barrage for some pictures this morning, I caught sight of this lone heron by the pier at the reservoir. The longer reach of the lens certainly came in useful 🙂
