Field notes

Occasional notes on photography, walks and small projects.

Shooting in flat winter light

Overcast days are underrated. With no hard shadows, texture and colour do the work, and a slight underexposure keeps the sky from turning into a blank sheet.

A shorter loop around the reservoir

Found a path along the east bank that cuts the walk to about an hour. Best in the early morning, before the cyclists.

Rebuilding the bookshelf

Pine boards, a borrowed drill and far too many screws. It holds, which is all I asked of it.
