Days in the life of Snowy (aka Snowy World Tour)

[Snowy]

This load of photos have been taken over the past 2 or so weekends. I've ducked into the city a few times, but seem to have more enjoyment with the camera walking around my hood.

Technologically, after shooting with a mate a few weeks ago and seeing how good a shoulder strap was, between the last series and this, I've changed to shoulder strap, instead of hand strap. Over the past few weeks, really since Japan, I've been moving closer to fully manual on the camera. I'm pretty close now and most of my shooting over the past week was Full Manual. Out on the street changing ISO and shutter speed as the light changes, or changing aperture and shutter speed depending on what I'm targeting. It's been a solid 6 months of shooting, and I think I'm just starting to get there.

This was a new year's afternoon walk with Mrs Snowy.

Love the one with the chimneys…

[Snowy]

bit of a closer one for you then @Giles, wasn't entirely happy with this for some reason so didn't post.

I think the one you just posted is a bit "obvious", if you know what I mean.  I prefer the former too…

some very evocotive images here.
amazing how a photo, taken by another, and of a totally different part of the world, has the ability to bring into my consciousness memories of forgotten times and associated feelings.
cheers @Snowy

[Snowy]

Thanks for the huge compliment @den1mhead.

let the Snowy World Tours continue steam rolling ahead.

Snowy I always like your World Tours.
This way I can see what life is like downunder.

[Graeme]

@twin I'll be Down Under at the weekend, so maybe I'll add a few more shots to give an impression of what life is like there.

[Snowy]

Thanks gents. @Graeme, I'm looking forward to getting you in a weird pair of glasses on here soon!

Been a bit quiet on here; have not had the camera around much. Thought about it once or twice but chose other moments.

I'm off to India for 2 weeks of work come this weekend. I will be taking the camera. I've heard the internets are shite over there, so not sure when/what I'll get up, nor what I'll have time for work-wise. However, expect to see some of Mumbai and Navi Mumbai on here soon!

Well ^ didn't go according to plan. Ended up getting quite sick in India, and managed to take my camera out one day. I was still too sick to be walking around, and within 3 blocks of walking from the hotel fled back to continue resting. It's taken a few weeks since to get anywhere back to health.

Visited a classic US of A Diner with Mrs Snowy during the week, and took around the back streets of Glebe on Saturday.

Slowly in the process of getting the eye back in. 7 weeks until back in Japan. 1 camera, 1 lens again.
