shutter therapy

Anniemay and I took our cameras for a walk today.  Just to point and shoot and see what happens.  What Robin Wong calls "shutter therapy".

I've been having a 'too-much-stuff clear out' and came across an old lens I haven't used in ages; a tiny Lumix 12-32mm pancake. Perfect on the OM 5 body, once I'd dusted off the cobwebs.

We wandered over the Common to my favourite spot.  I fiddled around with a few settings and then just let the camera choose how to represent the scene.  The camera + lens is small enough to fit in my coat pocket. So - a reprieve.

Meanwhile Anniemay had her Olympus 60mm macro - another lens that hasn't seen the light of day for quite sometime.

Just wandering around revealed things we'd not normally notice - mahonia, aconites, hellebores - all starting to make their presence felt.  

We agree that we need to do this more often.  No excuse now.
