Belle Island 1-20-16

Sometimes the weather opens up in the winter where it isn’t to cold and slightly overcast to enjoy a walk. My girlfriend and i took a short walk over to Belle Island to see what was going on. Surprisingly some people were out in kayak’s.

Richmond Snow

Richmond not to long ago had a nice snow that caused road problems but did get me out of work for a day. The snow was beautiful and when it was coming down it was coming down. The city streets were hard to navigate in cars and also a lot of people that park there were blocked in from the plow trucks putting mounds up by the cars.

Petersburg Photowalk

Walking with my photography group we headed to Petersburg which is just south of Richmond VA down I-95. The idea since it has a lot of old structures that we would do black and white. I shot with my X-Pro1 on a Rokinon 12mm f/2 and Fuji 35 f/1.4 lenses.

The Love sign is a Virginia thing, since Virginia is for Lovers!

The 12mm lens with the f/2 is great, fully manual but fun to use an can not wait to use it for landscape photography in the future.

I have to get back to Petersburg again, there was a lot to see.

The 12mm really  gets a lot and I know there is a 10-24mm f/4 from Fuji but significantly more.

Lots of shadows and there was still snow on the ground from our storm that came through.
