The #leesixtyfive Project: Photographs 181 – 210

Chapter 7 of the #leesixtyfive project is here and itching for you to read it.

I’ll be honest. I wasn’t sure what to write about in this update, as not much has happened since the last one. Just getting out there and making 30 street photographs, really.

So there was no plan for this. No outline. I just wrote. Father John Misty came up, as did the numbers ‘64%’ and ‘85%’. Can you guess the significance of them? No? Probably a good idea to come read and find out, then.

How to Use Vintage Lenses on Your Digital Camera

If you’ve ever considered using vintage lenses on your digital camera but haven’t yet taken the plunge, it’s possible the thing holding you back is uncertainty. That may be uncertainty in how it all works, and uncertainty in whether you’ll be able to make it work for you.

I’m here to dispel those misgivings. The technical aspects of using vintage lenses on digital cameras are not hard, and nor are the creative ones. That means fitting them to your camera isn’t hard, and neither is getting good results from them.

Come read and see how to use vintage lenses on your digital camera.

Vintage Lens Adapters – the Ultimate Guide

Using vintage lenses on digital cameras has become pretty popular in recent years. There are plenty of reasons why this is, with a big one being the rise of the mirrorless camera making it so easy to do so.

Whatever the real and full reasons are though, there’s one thing about using vintage lenses on a new camera that cannot be avoided: you’ll probably need a lens adapter.

If you don’t know much about lens adapters and why we need them, this guide is for you. If you do already know and want to find the ones you’re looking for, the handy tables can help you quickly track them down. Come read, come learn, come find the lens adapters you need.

The #leesixtyfive Project: Photographs 151 – 180

Welcome to the 6th update of the #leesixtyfive project. It’s great that you’re here. Great for a couple of reasons. The first is simply that you’re here, reading what I’m writing.

So if you’re reading, it means I’m still writing. And that means the project isn’t dead, which is the second reason i’ts great that you’re here.

Not for the first time, though, this update is overdue. In more ways than one. However, that’s actually good news. For you as well as for me. Come see why as I present photographs 151 – 180 of the #leesixtyfive project.
