Daylight, that is certain. And no other lightsource. The elements were saved on VB though, so: Aperture 23/10, ISO 250, Shutter 1/125, Focal Length 550/100Equipment
Olympus TG-2, shot out of hand, with no added gear.Inspiration
The tree rings are a kind of time-travel, where you can read the tree age and sometimes there are signs of special events that influenced the growth. All this is actually represented as a graphical beauty of once-alive being that is now not. So, also something sad.Editing
Probably just needed to crop the image to a tighter format, nothing else. If I'm not planning any alienations with the photo, usually my post-process is as simple as can be.In my camera bag
For decades already I find it easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag. It is more than enough to take along whatever I want or need for my photo session, walk or trip. My photo bags usually stay home or in the car, to keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. The tripod has its permanent place in the car. My vest pockets usually contain two cameras. Regardless of which is the "main" camera, one of those is always some waterproof model, if the weather plays up or when I find something interesting in the shallows. Nowadays I usually use Nikon P900 or Sony RX100m7, and the waterproof backup is an Olympus TG-2 or a Paralenz DiveCam. Other vest pockets keep the spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one small camera clamp which can be fixed to almost anything. In many cases this can replace a tripod. The vest has deep pockets for longer lenses, and these usually hold a small water bottle, a sandwich, or a bar of chocolate - if I plan on being out for the whole day. I always pack about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. Much can be improvised with these if need be. Recently I made it even easier, and take the essentials along in a waist pouch; one variable-volume McKinley. In the Outdoors, simplicity and comfort are my most important requirements!Feedback
Frustratingly, it is about the importance of multiple backing up of your photos... so a disk error doesn't turn into a catastrophe. Otherwise, always carry a camera. And enjoy!
