The cameras have been sitting idly for months it seems. During the summer I was without my laptop so that images remained unprocessed. With unprocessed images, what’s the point of capturing more?
I literally forgot how easy and pleasurable it is to bring along the Sigma DP1 as a travel camera and collect a visual diary during a trip. The images are frequently gorgeous and its slowness matters little if the approach is casual.
Its all down to intuition for casual shooting. It’s a matter of trusting that if something looks interesting, it’s worth framing a shot, owning the frame and capturing an image. In post processing, it’s simple enough to use Aperture for review with editing using Tonal Contrast and some regional intensity highlighting with a combination of a filter plus control points.
