‘Dusty Sunrise’

For a few minutes the sunrise had a dusty, Mad Max feel to it today.

I’ve been using my old zoom lens a lot recently. It’s fine one off hobby shoots (I originally bought it for safari) but it only tends to gives me a hit ratio of around 20%, especially in lower light. Even when it does come through it’s a pretty soft lens.

Since shooting more of the countryside – and the big horizons – I’ve been desperate for longer reach so I’m contemplating upgrading. Terrible time of year to do it. No money, bleak weather, upcoming bills. Thinking I might go for it.
