No I’m not as it goes. Quite grumpy until I’ve had my second tea!

Lovely.

Lovely.[/QUOTE]
It was part of a double test - A7RIII vs A6000 with various lens - static on tripod and like this, walk around. As we leave for Switzerland today, wife wants me to travel light using her a6000. Sadly I messed the experiment up, using same exposure...but forgot to zero the EV adjustment. GRRRR!. I will take the A6000 plus some primes, but the big camera bag for airline carryon (under seat inflight access) with an empty smaller camera bag packed in checked luggage. Actually it is filled with socks for compressed packing. Since moved headphones and other stuff to the space in the camera bag, had so much space in the backpack (overhead storage) that threw in the a7rIII with FE 16-35. Essentially just leaving the heavy and bulky 70-200 that the above photo was taken with. Rarely use that length in travel, but will have the small kit 55-210 lens.

@mollyc: I think this is an interesting take on a challenging assignment. If titled "self portrait", it becomes a much more interesting image than it would be without a title. Knowing your intention for it to be a faceless self portrait, all kinds of interesting questions open up as to why you chose this image and why you shot it the way you did.
Faced with the same task, my initial inclination would be to include myself in the image somehow--either distorted or out of focus or as a macro. Something to refer it back to me, even if I was only partly in the image without a face.
But your interpretation of the assignment and choice of image is very interesting to me. Out of focus so it's clear that no particular element in the photo is the subject, but an image that still has recognizable elements that speak to place, mood, season, etc. I obviously can't comment about how well the image really reflects *you*, but I think it's an interesting take on the assignment. Your image got me thinking past my initial impression once I knew that it was intended as a self portrait. And got me thinking enough to look at it again several times. Well done

Larbrax Bay
April 2015
A stunning sunset over Larbrax Bay and the Irish Sea, captured on film a few years ago. I'm amazed that I forgot this slide of film existed. I found the digital scan of it recently when consolidating my entire photography archive and decided to post it up. I love it.
Fuji GX617 Professional with Fujinon SWD 90mm f5.6 EBC lens.
1s / f22 / Fuji Velvia 50 using a Lee Filters 0.9 Neutral Density soft graduated filter.

Thanks! At the time, I was more taken with an earlier image I took from a few steps to the left and posted it way back then. Incidentally, it has sold a few copies over the last few years and is one everyone comments to me about. I actually think the one I posted above is better - now anyway. Weird how an outlook changes over the years as we develop in photography.
Indeed. But normally the other way with me! Like why did I even take that let alone keep it!
