VR-magic

(viewed 1110 times)
These are both cropped from the centre of a hand-held, 1/4 sec exposure at f4.2, 35mm.

one had image stabilisation turned on during shooting, the other didn't. any guesses which is which? :)

It's really weird - once the VR locks in (which is just about as the AF does), you can feel the lens moving slightly as you hold it, but you can't see any corresponding movement through the viewfinder.

Weird, but I like it.

rocks that roll

Norfolk flint (from our driveway) before, during, during, during, after. rocks were cleaned and dried before each photo, so the shine (or lack of) is real. top photo was taken exactly one month ago, bottom photo today.

merlot grape juice. delicious, with a depth that is often lost when made into wine.

several tonnes of wood to be moved, and probably equivalent weight in hangovers..
