Having returned to my favored Fuji and its 17mm lens, I struggled to get back into the fully manual mode. Focusing took a little longer, and the with the wide angle prime lens, struggled harder to find interesting subjects suited to its singular focal length. Sunrise was just a few minutes before his photo was taken, and I'm sure I've made this photo before. Oh well, it's a start.
After the luxury of tight compositions made possibly by the zoom-lenses P7700, I was struggling to compose in the vast expanse forced by the limitations of the prime 17mm lens. I was drawn to the two distinct areas of lightness against the relative early morning darkness. But when your hungry for new subjects, it doesn't take much.
Somebody had the imagination to see a monster's face in this growth on the side of this tree.
This image was included because it took me a full minute to realized these were three white-bearded gnomes looking skyward.
Getting back to the whole manual focus ethos will be harder than I thought.
