☢ Chernobyl trip: Temporary takeover! Normal Cornwall - Wales landscapes will resume soon! ☢
Having temporarily lost my camera, our tour guide very generously lent me his. But without a compatible tripod or filters, I was forced into taking all shots handheld (striking a balance with ISO and aperture size to allow a fast enough shutter speed for handheld) and working harder for compositions (without bright skies requiring grad filters). Sometimes though, restrictions such as these can help creativity.
I further restricted myself by seeking out compositions that tell the story of nature reclaiming the land and avoiding the obvious shots (although sometimes I couldn't resist! - I may edit and post later)
This was the first such image that I was happy with - depicting trees growing out of a sports hall floor in Pripyat.
Fuji X-T2 (borrowed) | Lens at 83mm | ƒ-4 | 1-220 sec | ISO 640 | Handheld
