Sometimes things are a bit random, like me staying a few days on Rhodos, with some old Nikon gear!
What can I make out of an old Nikon D700, a memory card with no space for raw files, a very old 35-105 manual zoom & a 16mm fisheye? Lets find out 馃檪
I definitely did not fit in with the resort people, still wearing my worn out clothes from roaming around Asia & really not belonging to the tourist scene! Fortunately there were lots of things like this to explore.
Playing around with the fisheye, not something I am really used to... At least round objects are not distorted haha!
This cat got really curious about what I was doing & walked up very close to the camera, really checking me out. Even with the fisheye it turned into a sort of portrait.
They were all both very lazy but also a bit jumpy, guess they have bad experiences with drunk tourists... But they were all well fed.
This one was playing around with some flowers or insects I think? Either way it was having a good time, and made for a nice silhouette against the fort.
Editing & so on
Part of this is also that the randomness let me use a Photoshop installation for the first time in a few years. Since around 2020 I or even earlier I have tried getting rid of that dependency, using a mix of Linux & mobile apps and tools.
But its not easy, especially since I first started using Photoshop in maybe 1996 I think it was?
That's it for now! Rhodes will probably turn into 2-3 posts after this, then a few for the rest of the days in Greece 馃檪 #Monomad
