Canal Walk

First time out with the camera since before Christmas, a wee walk down by the canal in Falkirk.

Think I have lost the "Mojo", looking for a bit of inspiration.

May sell the camera gear and get a new motorcycle

All with the K7 and the Samyang 85mm - f1:1.4 - I love this lens.

These shots are helping me make my mind up about getting this lens. Lovely stuff.

Don't sell up just yet John. I think your mojo was just dozing, not got up and left.
I love the first one, beautifully lit, and lovely in it's simplicity.



Now my mojo is another matter entirely. The only mojo around here at the moment is the spicy sauce from the canary Islands .

Never tried the 'Spicy Sauce' on the lens yet, but may give it a try

Thanks for the comment Gywn.

I'm off to Shetland on Sunday for a week, unfortunately for work, but I'll take the kit and try and get a picture or two.

I'll let you know what happens :-/

Whoah! Just about to take the Samyang 85 1.4 up for a walk tomorrow too! Currently my favourite lens as well.

In a way, the fact that it is manual focus, has helped me take better photos than if it were an AF lens.

A case of lost and found I think.
Best wishes,

Bloody Hell !!!

Nothing like a vote of confidence from your peers to spur you on, thanks for that !!!

I will have to source the cash from somewhere else for the motorcycle

Again, thank you all, look out Shetland - here I come

And another vote for number three from me, too.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys

A very good set. An 85 f/1.4 is a great lens. I got one on Friday and am well impressed.

Best regards
