It’s been a pretty good day. I took my big camera for a walk. I was out for a couple of hours in the heat. (It suddenly got up to around 20C where I live in the last day or so.)

It felt good to go for a dedicated photo walk. To commit a chunk of my day to deliberate creating was a good move. I felt like I was getting into the zone a little bit again.

I nearly always have my darling Ricoh GRii with me everywhere I go but this time I swapped it out for the Nikon Z5. It’s a camera I’m still a little intimidated by. I’m technically proficient with cameras but I get lost in the differences between brands and models. Overwhelmed by the different systems, menus, and terminology they use.

And of course they have their strengths and idiosyncrasies. This is what I’m still learning with the Z5. It’s taking a long time to get to know it. I feel like I never really ever get there with any camera I’ve owned.

Anyway. I really enjoyed my walk and I got a few shots I like.

I would really love to get them out and published soon but will have to see.

I got super tired, not being used to the warm weather and being in the sun for so long. And I kinda zonked out after and have been feeling a bit lost and wiped out since then.

Photography feeds my soul, but I’m so sensitive I have to pace myself.
