Spring Photography Adventures
Spring is a season of vibrant transformation, especially here in the Pacific Northwest. As the landscape awakens, I find myself eagerly venturing outdoors, camera in hand, to capture the stunning blooms and the general shift that envelops our region. This year, my photography journey is particularly exciting as I explore with a curated selection of gear that enhances my creative expression.
My current go-to cameras are the Fujifilm XT-5 and the Ricoh GR 3X. This duo has proven to be exceptionally versatile for all my photography needs. The Fujifilm XT-5, paired with the 16-80mm F4.0, offers stunning portrait and close-up shots of nature's beauty. It's my choice for capturing the intricate details of spring flowers and the subtle changes in the environment.
As a hobbyist, I cherish the freedom and simplicity of my photography. There's no pressure of client expectations or the need for large prints. This season, I've decided to lighten my camera load significantly, focusing on enjoying the process rather than being weighed down by equipment. With my current setup, I find that I'm more engaged in the creative flow, spontaneously capturing the beauty around me.
