What I Learned
The take-away for this week is not finding inspiration where one would expect to. Last week, I drove up to the showgrounds for a lesson. [Change Partners]
I brought my big camera along. Stabling at a horse show? Bound to have photo ops, no? No.
Took over 70 photos. Horses. Infrastructure. Artistic spiderweb in an unused stall. Coiled hose. Even boxes of ribbons. Lots of things that should have worked. None that did. Nothing zinged. Usually as I click thru the files, I am pleasantly surprised by at least one photo. It may not be the one I was aiming for, but usually at least one. [Hot Summer]
I included the show office sign simply to have a visual for this post. The rest aren’t bad. They just aren’t anything. I got better photographic response from a traffic intersection. Weird. [Imaging the Mundane]
Technical Details
No meta photo. Forgot about them. It really wasn’t my day, was it?
Show office, f/4.5, 1/100 sec., 18.0 mm, ISO 1600. Manual mode & auto-focus. Post production: resized, border, & watermark. No cropping. Interesting how the lines of the concrete block are warped by the lens.
Border colors. Gray for project, yellow for Nikon. [Photo Safari The First], [Quarry, Photography, Things]
Onwards!

There are always cats or is your ban absolute?

Some days with a camera just are like this. Fortunately, they don’t last. Or come around very often. MM
Cats. None on the showgrounds.
No ban. Usually save cat pics to use for days when I ain’t got nothin’ and need a post.

Camera. I hope so!
