Week Seven : Freeze Motion

I'd be lying if I didn't say that I phoned this week in. I had multiple ideas of what I wanted to achieve, but very little motivation to actually make them happen. Instead, I popped into a small train station as I walked by, hoping to find people in haste on their way to catch a train. As it's not the main station, most people are not in a hurry so much, so I turned my attention to the ever-reliable pigeons.



In the end, I took a few different options, some with pigeons, some of passing trams, but felt this one had the most interesting composition. I decided to use black and white, despite hardly ever shooting for B&W because the colours didn't add anything in particular to the scene - they even distracted a bit from the main in-flight pigeon, a bit, though I am a sucker for the yellows that appear in the colour version.



I've also just sent away my entire digital kit (an X-T1, X-T10, XF 56 1.2, and XF 35 1.4) to trade for an X100F. I'll be without a digital camera that isn't my scratched up iPhone 7+ for however long it takes the company to analyze my trade-in value and send out the X100F. So, hopefully I can manage to get a film shot taken and developed in time for next week's deadline!
