Using just 1 lens for an entire week to take photos: Week 2 – Zeiss Batis 85 mm f/1.8

Tuesday, June 25th was my first picture taking day during week 2 of my trial. I was now using my 85 mm lens for testing.

A little tighter perspective than I usually get from up here

I really liked the compression I got from the slight telephoto. I did have to check angles a bit more to make things fit where I wanted them to as opposed to my usual wider angle shooting.

These fragrant roses are my 2nd favorite spring/summer flowers just after Lilacs

The 26th dawned as another walk to work day so I revisited some familiar ground.

I like the way the sun lit up the cloud
A tighter perspective of my silver leaves

I was glad the bike path was open because where I had to walk last week was a bit of a mini lake to walk through.

I only took 1 photo on the 28th on my way to work. (3 actually to make a panorama.) Demolition had started on the old water treatment plant. The fence had been up for a couple of weeks without seeing much activity so it was nice to see what was happening.

I had noticed that the Lazer Tag place had closed down a couple of weeks earlier but the “For Lease” sign was fairly newly installed. I only went there one time for one of Adam’s birthdays but I walked past it a lot over the past 5 years so I was a bit sad to see it close. The building looks pretty sad all in all.

That’s a lot of empty space

Week 2 was in the books. Again, not a very taxing week photographically but it was challenging none the less.
