This is one of my early blog photos, first posted in October 2011.
This continues a series where bring forward a photo or two from earlier posts that have rarely been seen by most of my viewers.
This was in a post unimaginatively titled Painted Stair Edges.
.
Canon 5Dii, (and probably 50/1.4 lens)
.
burnt embers 
I like this shot – so nearly symmetrical but not quite, with the slight curve to the lines on the right side of the image

Thanks Andy – it is an odd bit of architecture and I find these stairs a bit disorienting to walk on, down especially. I don’t feel all that safe doing so, which might be the point in the stairs, or the vibrant lines. They make for a good photo though.

I’m enjoying seeing these photos, which pre-date my finding your blog! Thanks for sharing them with us.

They predate everyone finding my blog, except some family and 2 other random bloggers. I am surprised at some of the photos I took before I even knew how to use the 5Dii, some stand up well to the more critical eye I have since developed.

You knew what you were doing, photographically, even before you were aware of it! That makes you a genius, doesn’t it?

It makes me lucky. And it was a digital camera with many gb of space on the card. Though it was a while before I transitioned from old film habits from a decade earlier (I had stopped taking pictures for a while) to that intermediate stage of blazing away. Thankfully that intermediate stage passed as well, especially now that I am back to mostly shooting film.

I guess it’s hard to support a blazing-away habit when you shoot film, isn’t it?
The main question I get asked about my photography is “Is it digital?” I think that might the only thing people know to say about photography!

Or it might be that they associate such high quality images with “real” or “serious photography.
Or they might not be sure if you can make a black and white image from a digital camera.

Sometimes I think they really want to know the difference, but then Cynical Melinda shows back up, and I think that is absolutely the only thing they can think of to say. But at least I don’t get much “these are good – you must have a really nice camera.”!

Cynical Melinda? Who’s that? Try shooting with a small point and shoot film camera in a serious situation and see what response you get. Even from other photographers wielding fancy digital cameras ti can be disbelief and a boatload of disrespect. But what do they know?

Nothing. That’s what they know. And anyway, maybe they never heard, “The best camera is the one you have with you.”

If they heard it, they didn’t get it.

There is that but I prefer titles with double meanings when I have the inspiration to think of them.
