absorbing everything, the spectrum’s A to Z

OK, so I was meant to be focusing on analogue photography but I got too excited as usual and decided I wanted to foray into digital again too.

Having not owned a digital camera in about 15 years other than the one on my phone I was a bit lost when starting to look into entry level digital SLRs - mirrorless? - no idea.

Of course anything that I liked the general look of was ludicrously expensive….so for the sake of my bank balance I bought a used (can I call it vintage?) Canon 5D mark ii body.

I really wanted one of these cameras back in 2008 but the £2300 price range was incredibly out of my budget, but I realised you can now pick up one of these bricks in good used condition for under £200 and as a bonus it’s compatible with my current EF mount lenses I have for my 35mm SLR.

Additionally if anyone is daft enough to attempt to steal it they won’t get very far as it will weigh them down too much.

So anyway, rambling, I took it out today during a rainy walk to the shop and below are the results.

Yes they are underexposed. Yes the colour balance is off.

Thinking of making both these things my ‘signature style’.

And also, yes, writing this blog post did distract me from watching the 5 videos on Joint Probability I am supposed to be watching before my Statistics class tomorrow….
