A deer, not terribly afraid of me, watching me from about 20 metres away; a more skittish deer is visible further away, nearer to the willows at the riverbank

I went about 15km today with my cam­era. I set myself up with a chal­lenge: try to use the 35mm lens and the fil­ters I bought at the Dun­rea Flea Mar­ket[1]Which, as I’m sure you’ve fig­ured out by now, takes place in Bois­se­vain. a few years ago.

I set myself up with a polar­iz­ing fil­ter and a red-blue fil­ter (ie, one that will let through red light or blue light but not, it seems, both). It was a cloudy day and I fig­ured I might get a bit of dra­ma from the clouds by polar­iz­ing the red / blue light.

Did I suc­ceed? You tell me.
