Field Notes

Photography, small trips and slow mornings.

Chasing the blue hour

Twenty minutes after sunset the city turns a colour no camera gets quite right. A tripod, a wide lens and patience do most of the work — the rest is waiting for the tram to leave the frame.

Packing light for a weekend

One body, one prime lens, a spare battery. Everything else stays home. Fewer choices, more pictures.

Film is back on the shelf

A roll of expired colour film from a flea market turned out warmer and grainier than expected. Some frames are lost, the rest feel like old postcards.
