Sometime around the beginning of June as I contemplated picking up another used Zeiss Batis lens that had come in to work I decided that I should try using just 1 lens for an entire week’s worth of photography to see how it went. I figured that I had 3 prime lenses, that gave me 3 weeks to experiment and if the used lens was still in the store I could try it to decide if I liked it.

The rather wet weather to end Spring and start Summer made this a bit of a challenging endeavor but I thought I’d give it a go.

Monday June 17th had a sunny start to the day so I decided to take the scenic route to walking to work.

I almost had the scenic route interrupted just past Taylor Bridge as there was some tree trimming going on along the bike path. Luckily the fellow keeping the tourists out of the way was standing nearby and when I told him what I was doing he told me to just keep left of the fence and go ahead.

Nothing else caught my eye on my walk nor for the next couple of days.

My next opportunity to take photos was when my son’s best friend, Carter, had his high school graduation on June 20th. There was a chilly wind blowing and the threat of rain was hanging in the air but it was the only time I was going to get to take a photo for him.

Saturday, June 22nd was another good day to walk to and from work and I managed to grab a shot of the often photographed ex-CPR rail bridge.

I wanted to get a photo of the lady carrying her groceries but I didn’t want to bother her and I didn’t feel right just taking her photo without asking so I included her in the overall shot.

So a fairly short week photographically speaking. I will have to take another week to use just this lens in the future for more results. I do like it though as it is a bit wider than a “normal” lens and a bit tighter than a 35 mm perspective as that focal length never used to appeal to me
