Impromptu Starburst
A walk in some woods today - a small nature reserve known as the Ragpits. These were once an area where the flints from the chalk (known as Rags) were mined for building, so it's rather a series of heaps and hollows (pits). It's a bit early, but it won't be long before this area is a sea of orchids.
Today, I just went to see what was around - and to use my new Samsung 7.5mm on the Olympus. Because it is such a wide angle lens, I get a lot of the scene in - in fact, it's hard keeping me out of the frame! I had it set on f22 and, without any effort, was getting starbursts where the sun was coming through the leaves - no specific planning - quite impromptu; so an infrared filter on a bright green scene with the appearance of a starburst.
I have a good offer from a local camera store for my Nikon full-frame kit - body, lenses, the lot - well, quite a lot of it. Can I do it? Can I actually part with the D750? This will enable me to get the expensive wide angle i want and maybe a prime or two. All that is nowhere near as heavy to carry around as the Nikon gear. I must be brave!
