Slow afternoon at a lighthouse at the end of the spit

The forecast promised rain, so naturally I headed to a lighthouse at the end of the spit. I kept a paper notebook this time, writing down the time and the light for every roll.

Three days at a hillside vineyard

The forecast promised rain, so naturally I headed to a hillside vineyard. Most of the morning went into watching fog; I took fewer frames than usual, but each one felt deliberate.

Harbour cranes at a frozen bay

Some places are better in the off-season, and a frozen bay is one of them. Locals barely noticed me. A man feeding gulls told me the place looks completely different in spring.

Back to the northern lakes

A friend suggested the northern lakes months ago, and this week I finally went. An elderly couple asked me to take their picture. I used their phone, then made one frame of them on mine.

Slow afternoon at the botanical garden

The forecast promised rain, so naturally I headed to the botanical garden. The path was muddy and longer than the map suggested, but the view at the end made up for it.

Walking to a hillside vineyard

Some places are better in the off-season, and a hillside vineyard is one of them. Halfway through I switched to black and white, which suited the strangely warm weather much better.

Notes from a village bakery

I went to a village bakery with a borrowed medium format camera and no particular plan. By noon the crowds arrived, so I walked further along the path, where footpaths were still undisturbed.

On snow tracks

Some places are better in the off-season, and a quiet monastery is one of them. There is something calming about returning to the same spot and noticing small changes since the last visit.

Walking to the botanical garden

The alarm went off before dawn, and by six I was already at the botanical garden. The path was muddy and longer than the map suggested, but the view at the end made up for it.

Street corners and reflections

I went to the observatory hill with a 28mm lens and no particular plan. A light drizzle started around ten. I sheltered under a bus stop roof and photographed people hurrying past.

On street corners

A friend suggested a hillside vineyard months ago, and this week I finally went. Shooting with a borrowed medium format camera meant I had to get closer than I am used to, which was uncomfortable at first.
