I have taken delivery of mannequin heads for portrait light pattern practice. In a couple weeks, I should be ready to do human trials

I shot a parade last weekend. I’ve never been to one before, much less shot one. And I now have two rules I must follow for subsequent ones. 1 - Don’t shoot the parade. 2 - Stop down, for god’s sake

A person stands inside a glass bus shelter on a sunny day, facing away from the camera. The scene is framed by green railings and leafy bushes on both sides. Overhead is a dark green metal archway with circular design elements, and lens flare from the sunlight creates bright hexagonal patterns across the image. A modern brick apartment building with tall windows is visible in the background.

Black and white photo taken from under an overpass. A person walks in the foreground, mostly in shadow. In the background, a modern building is lit by sunlight. Diagonal lines from the bridge structure and light patterns cut across the image, creating strong contrasts between light and dark areas.

A black and white nighttime photograph of London’s Tower Bridge. The twin towers of the bridge stand out against a dark sky, with reflections shimmering on the water below. On the right, the illuminated façade of London Bridge Hospital adds to the scene’s contrast.

I’m shooting B/W to improve how I perceive light, but because I’m capturing in raw/jpg, I can see what could also be in the full spectrum when I go to review later, and it’s very…um…distracting? At least in the near term. Perhaps I should commit fully and just shoot JPG.
A black-and-white photo of a modern urban walkway flanked by tall buildings. The interplay of light and shadow is accentuated, with one person in silhouette walking through the dark foreground and another brightly lit in the midground. Bare tree branches cast visible shadows across the pavement, adding texture to the composition. A city street framed by tall modern buildings with reflective and patterned facades under a clear blue sky. Two pedestrians walk in opposite directions—one in deep shadow, the other in bright sunlight—creating a dramatic contrast. Leafless trees line the path, casting intricate shadows on the pavement.

A wide angle shot of a canal in Manchester flanked on the left by road, people and vehicles, and on the right by greenery. Overall tones are warm. There’s an elevated rail arch, and under, there’s a boat in the centre of the composition and water reflections

It’s sadly out of focus, but it’s got “character”, let’s go with that
Wide angle picture of a cityscape in Manchester, featuring a canal with moored boats flanked on one side by a raised rail line on brick arches and on the other by regular buildings, with two skyscrapers in the distance

I’m currently at the Dunning Kruger phase of photography where I’m convinced that this can pass for abstract urban geometry
Bottom up view photograph of three tall glass buildings, set against a blue cloudless sky with the sun behind them creating hard light effects

I like the Meta Ray Bans, but what I really want are Apple Ray Bans - www.backvlog.com/blog/im-wait...
i’m waiting for apple’s ray bans — backvlog
I got the Meta Ray-Bans primarily as a specialty camera. But they've turned out to be a good deal more. Not only are they functional prescription glasses that automatically transition into sunshades...
