No walk today, so inside photography instead! Janette had these Jamjars sitting on the cooker hob, waiting to be filled with delicious homemade jam (Not for me of course!)

We have Clematis growing profusely all over a trellis in the garden, and they’ve just started to flower, so the time was right to shoot the new blossoms with a 200mm Macro Lens, – Nikon Lens on Fuji mirrorless camera. Manual focus with focus-peaking.

I love TEXTURES and this old barn door has texture aplenty! It’s just down the road from where I live, so I wasn’t breaking the Lockdown when I went to photograph it. Honestly Constable…

I found a gate. That wasn’t the hard part. The gate was secured by a piece of string or twine, so I painted it! It’s an oil painting, made with a camera, and produced in post-processing.

More barbed wire. And a demonstration of shallow depth of field, – lens aperture wide open, giving creamy bokeh, made using focus-peaking to get the pin-sharp focus.

No, it’s NOT a selfie! It’s a close-up of a friendly cow’s nose, to demonstrate the sharpness of the focus on the Fujifilm X-T30 / Sigma 135mm Prime Lens. (Nikon fit – MF). Focus peaking is the method!

Lens Flare. I’d gone for a walk along Tullygarvan Road with a 135mm Sigma (Nikon fit) MF lens on the Fujifilm X-T30, and I focussed along the road, to where this couple were walking away from my position, but the strong sunlight falling across the lens created a rainbow effect. No Photoshop needed! Should I have rejected the image?

I love textures, and there’s plenty of texture in this old rusty barbed wire and the metal gate bar that it’s wrapped around.

Back to photographing weeds. It’s how you know that you’re bored.

So, I made this image of a rusty caravan in 2010. I’m including it in my Lockdown Log, because during the Lockdown I’ve been looking back through some old images, tidying up the storage space and remembering past days.
