RE: The Wedding: M&K 👰💐
short fuse
That's to get angry very easily, right? I guess both waiting and bad sleep can cause that. (Irrelevant detail: there is a Greek movie with that title!)
The 50mm. Yes it is so basic and so perfect :) I can't believe that in the 31 years that I am taking pictures with slr cameras I have had one of them only for the first few months on a borrowed Canon AE-1 program! I really love it, sometimes I think I could use only this one for ever :)
My returning to the profession? That's a long story but in brief there are 3 factors. First is my need to express myself with a medium that I know very well and has been part of my life since high school. Second is my entering to the steem world that helped me realized the first one! And third (and probably most important) the possibility of state funding for professionals who gave up their business during the years of the economic crisis, so that they can have a second chance. And yes, I know that technology is making things easier every year but one of the main reasons I gave up in the first place, is that I failed to embrace technology when it barged into my life and send my beloved hasselblad in a closet! But of course steem has changed that!
Of course I enjoy your photographs, that's why I followed you, after all!
And your June challenge is what I am going to read right now :)
Indeed that does mean getting angry or irritated very quickly (most of the time at the people you love actually). And I assume it will be the bad sleep and the waiting, but still you don't want to hurt the people you love.
Really only using your 50mm if you had to choose one!? As a landscape shooter I don't want to think about that limitation😅 But sharpnss and colors are wonderfull from these type of lenses. How come you didn't had one in your bag during those 31 years of photography?
Beautiful to read that Steem actually brought you back to your profession as a photographer! What is that with the state funding? That sounds like an unbelievable oppurtunity! Did you had to deliver any proof that you have been a photographer before the crisis? What are your exact plans with the funding from the government?
And you still have that Hasselblad?😍
Your June comment is my next comment I need to reply hehe so I noticed you read the post 😂 Thanks for reading👍
This comment-reply sequence starts to look like old-fashioned mail correspondence :)
Yes, no one wants to hurt the beloved ones but unfortunately those are the closest and more likely to be hurt on a stressful situation.
Ok, I know a fixed lens gives you many limitations but I am too excited with this one! I always had zoom lenses that included 50mm and never evaluated the purchase of a fixed one as necessary, but I was wrong!
The state funding is for ex-professionals of any kind that after closing their business remained unemployed. There are a lot of requirements (33 pages of them) but it looks like I am eligible for it! My business plan is very simple. Buy new camera, new lenses and new computer and start shooting again! I have many doubts if I'll manage to make my living out of it but I have to try.
Indeed, I still have a Hasselblad 503CW, 3 lenses and a lot of gadgets that are lying in a closet since 2005. I am thinking about selling them but it is so hard to make the decision!
