I want a break
I would love to take a break from work, and go on a trip. Not that I'm stressed or anything, on the contrary work is peaceful. But nevertheless I've been wanting to go out someplace and take a few photos; I'm itching to use my camera. If there is one thing that I've been wanting to explore more -- in the recent past -- is photography.
Last week I went up, to the terrace of the apartment complex that I live in, to take pictures in the night. It was a sight worth seeing; Crouching in the dark, in a far corner of the large terrace, looking like an agent from the secret service, trying to keep a suspect under surveillance. I think I spooked the watchman downstairs, cause I'd see him run out onto the road, that the terrace overlooked, everytime the flash went off.
I spent a good deal of time trying to take a picture. Unfortunately, I didn't have many options: The distant City lights, some buildings and a plane that suddenly decided to pop out of nowhere and fly over my head; I'm sure that I've used the wrong shutter speed. But what could I do? I was using the light from my cell phone to see what settings to select, and it wasn't easy. I've got a few shots, but I don't know how they'll turn up; lighting being the major concern.
I'm still experimenting. But someday I hope to buy another lens, maybe a telephoto, to add some muscle to my efforts. Nevertheless I'm happy that I own a Nikon FM2 camera. I've not thought about buying a new camera, cause I just love the one I already have.
