I was reading a magazine and it had an article about a photographer called Giacomo Brunelli. He has been taking photos in London for the last two years all in black and white. Not unusual so far but the really cool thing is he uses an old camera set at f1.8 and 1/1000 of a second with a 50mm lens.
This got me to thinking I have so much choice when taking a photo may be I should get back to basics. And as it's lent for the next 40 days I'm going to give it a go I've left all my gear at home and have travelled with my D7000 body and my 35mm f1.8 lens. Put my camera on to manual set the F stop to 1.8 and shutter to 1/1000.
I've found it quite liberating not worrying about what lens etc. and having to think about the limits of the exposure is quite a challenge but allows for interesting processing of the photos.
Well here's to the next 40 days it's going to be a blast!
