And so the new year sweeps in. Portland had no frost until the 29th, then three straight frosty mornings; winter arrived at last. I pulled out the Promaster 100mm macro and visited the fungi in the front yard, and got a few keepers. Some day I will do this with a tripod and 2-second mirror lockup... oh wait this was shot with the K-01, no mirror to lock up! Funny how old habits and reflexes go, some slide past with no regret while others stay locked into memory and refuse to budge. Shooting macros handheld is an old habit that I've yet to shake - just often enough, it works well enough.The K-01 is clearly a different way to work compared to dSLRs, but it's not a bad way. Many things I felt sure of were not important to getting an image, and some are nearly fun (like time-lapse movies, though that will take more practice).
In any case, 2013 should be a fun year to take pictures!
