Washing Machine Drum
As much as I love my PENTAX K-1, it is a very bulky camera for some purposes. I have been thinking for a while about getting a smaller camera for travelling. While I already own a PENTAX K-r and the diminutive PENTAX Q10, these are not really what I need. The K-r is still relatively bulky and the Q10 lacks any kind of view finder. On Monday, I made a bit of an impulse purchase and got a Sony A6000; it is small with the 16-50mm kit lens and it has an electronic view finder. Having already owned a Sony A7, I was familiar with the operation and, with an adapter, I can use all my manual focus primes. With the introduction of the A6300, the A6000 is now quite attractively priced.
As always, when you buy a new camera, the weather turns bad. So, this evening, I resorted to photographing my washing machine drum! I have been thinking of doing this for a while… I know, I need to get a life! This image is a stack of four identical images as the exposure time was fairly long and I wanted to counter any noise. The individual frames were shot at 16mm at an aperture of f/10. Exposure times varied between 25s and 30s. Developed from RAW using DxO Optics Pro 11 and post-processed using Affinity Photo. Not a competition winner, but an interesting image in a funny sort of way 😊
