I had a two hour block of free (free) time, so I grabbed the Nikon Zf and headed for the Balmer Yard (AKA the now partially abandoned Interbay Railway Terminal). The pictures that I take with the mirrorless camera are intrinsically different than the ones that I take with a mobile phone, especially if I’m lugging around the monopod. The images are qualitatively better, but a lot of the difference is in how much effort I put into taking each shot. I'm using the full auto settings, so mostly I’m selecting and framing the scene using a 24-200mm f/4-6.3 lens. A multi-hour engagement allows me to more deeply explore those differences and mitigates the “(re)learn something & then promptly forget it” cycle. I took 45 images, with two or three being actually interesting. I’m posting one here.
