Utilities… A 45 Minute Mini Project…
by Rodney Campbell on Dec.03, 2012, under Life, Photography, Street
I decided (not exactly sure why but hey, I’ll run with it :)) to give myself a mini shooting project on a theme. I had my camera with me at work so I gave myself 45 minutes at lunchtime to work on the theme of “Utilities” to come up with something hopefully vaguely meaningful which would loosely converge with my chosen topic. As if it wasn’t hard enough yet… I also decided to restrict myself to one focal length (35mm on full frame) and no cropping/zooming in post allowed – so what you see here is essentially straight out of camera converted to monochrome.
Note: These images (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.
So how did I go…
Gas
NIKON D600 + 35.0 mm f/2.0 @ 35 mm, 1/40 sec at f/5, ISO 160
Garbage
NIKON D600 + @ 35 mm, 1/40 sec at f/2, ISO 125
Water
NIKON D600 + 35.0 mm f/2.0 @ 35 mm, 1/640 sec at f/2, ISO 100
Post
NIKON D600 + 35.0 mm f/2.0 @ 35 mm, 1/400 sec at f/2.8, ISO 100
Telecom
NIKON D600 + 35.0 mm f/2.0 @ 35 mm, 1/2000 sec at f/2, ISO 100
Fire
NIKON D600 + 35.0 mm f/2.0 @ 35 mm, 1/400 sec at f/5.6, ISO 100
Sewer
NIKON D600 + @ 35 mm, 1/40 sec at f/4, ISO 200
Actually the restriction to just the 35/2 was probably a blessing in disguise – with just 45 minutes to roam the streets looking for things which met my brief there was no time to fluff about changing lenses, etc – just go small and light
