Day 1 - Field Notes
January 12, 2024
Date of note does not correlate with date of shooting.
Early morning, ~6:30AM. Tried shooting everything at 2500 ISO to judge performance, but definitely needed another stop or 2. Hands are shaky! Trying to find an ideal shutter speed (feels like I need to shoot 1/1000 with my hands geez). Rangefinder is challenging. Booking an eye exam to figure out which diopter to pick up if I end up getting one. Also noticing I can’t see the 35mm frame lines well because of my glasses! Will need to try with contact lenses next time.
Need to get used to shooting with a prime again, especially 35mm focal length. Need to practicing assessing the environment. Going to try and become more familiar with the area too at different times of day.
Made a new acquaintance, walk was great, photo-taking was refreshing and fun!
Final shutter count: 7021
