The year 2022

So it's 16:15 hours on December 31st, 2022 and I just got back from my 'daily mile'. I decided to bring a camera today to get some last shots this year. As the weather is less than nice today I grabbed something digital to capture the last day of 2022. 

Rain... (Pentax 645Z, CZJ 80mm f/2.8 at f/2.8)

... and wind. (Pentax 645Z, CZJ 80mm f/2.8 at f/2.8)

Not much to see today I'm afraid so let's move along quickly.

The best shot

So what was my best photograph of 2022? As usual, my friends over at Flickr got to decide with photograph in my flickr stream was the best. They had the following thoughts on that:

According to my Flickr pals the winner is...

Opel Kadett, Pentax LX

Gear

Not much happened on the gear-front. I managed to pick up a 45mm pancake lens with a Pentax K mount, I've tried out this lens a few weeks back but need to get the films developed first before I can comment on it any further. Another find was a mint copy of a Carl Zeiss Jena 80mm f/2.8 in Pentacon 6 mount, this is the lens I shot the above rainy photo's with. Lastly I've stumbled upon an Exacta set recently. I have yet to see if the set I've obtained functions properly. One for a side project in 2023 perhaps?

Winter is coming

It is supposed to be winter now but with lots of rain, strong winds and temperatures in the double digits (Celsius, not Fahrenheit) it looks suspiciously like autumn. But fear not, winter is coming to this blog in 2023. I've decided to cover 2023 in four three-month projects with winter being the first one. Watch this blog for more. Other plans include a collab with fellow photographer Joeri, we will be venturing into the world of vlogging. Let's see what 2023 will bring!
