How to be happy when there's nothing really to be happy about (playing w/ camera

Life at ISO12,500

I decided to take a short walk, before the next rain starts.
I started a little too late. It's already getting darker.
But, it's a good opportunity to try high ISO shot.

All these photos were taken at ISO12,500.

I found 1966 Chevy C10. (Registration sticker on the license plate is 2009.)

I tried to create the "feel" of old film look.

This is a small town, that USPS doesn't deliver mail to each household.
(Everyone has PO Box).
Also, there's no gas line running here.
Each house has propane tank in the yard, parking, somewhere.

This shack reminds me of "The Thing (1982 film) MacReady's shack".
Small, narrow, sitting on the wood scaffolding...

I really need to go outside while there's still sun light.

The XPan look like wide screen effect was done in camera. (Leica SL2-S)
Go to Photo menu, page 3 bottom. (Photo Aspect Ratio).
Change it to 3:1, you will get the pictures like the one in the opening of this video.

XPan aspect ratio is 65:24 (approximately 2.7:1), which is wider than CinemaScope/Anamorphic aspect ratio which is 2.39:1.

Looks pretty cool with 35mm lens!

[from the video description]

Limitation elevates the art. Constraints force creativities.
No overthinking. No second guessing.

Take SL2-S out in my lunch break. I only have 30 minutes, to walk, find something interesting, shoot photos and videos, then walk back and RETURN TO WORK.

This will force you to act quickly and early, NOT perfectly.
(If you wait for perfection / certainty, they will NEVER come.)
