It is Bright and that is All Right

Written by

Thursday was another bright one!

Although the sun has yet to become a reliable partner in our happiness this season, it has been showing up more frequently and, as the days wear on, for longer too. There might be some hope.

With the sun in full effect, at the last minute, I decided to load a roll of Ultramax into the XG-1, but instead of the 58mm lens (my single favourite lens), I decided on the 28mm, which does not see light all that often. Perhaps a little novelty was called for while out on my regular circuit for kitty food, as well as our groceries for the day.

In the end, I neither expected nor produced any particularly compelling photos, but I was mostly just happy to be out in the sun with a camera!
