Manual


OTrain

This was the first time that I attempted shooting manual mode out in the 'wild'. Usually when I'm out, especially at an event, I shoot in Program, Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority to make sure I get the best shot as quickly as possibly. I also want to make sure I don't come back home with crappy shots. But I decided to shoot in manual mode that day because I wasn't looking for anything specific to shoot I just wanted to fool around with my camera. I was also trying out my polarizing filter on the water, it worked nicely but the water was pretty gross looking so I didn't too much with those shots.
I think black and white photography is becoming a favourite of mine. And I really like doing 'cutout' shots where the photo is mainly b&w with a small amount of color (usually red) in a very specific region. Such as the red on the train in this shot.
I can't wait for everything to start getting their color back. We've had some pretty nice weather here lately but everything is muddy and blah out.
