I took another camera walk in Medford today, still working with the Velvet 56 mounted on the EOS R, but the light was flat and nothing really inspired me so as I was walking past the antique mall I thought, “Oh, why not.” I got a few strange looks but no one threw me out. Did I mention that I paid $50 extra to get the silver version of the Velvet 56? It is quite the attention getter… I have gotten more comments on that lens! I’m starting to think black might have been a better choice. But, getting back to the antique mall, I was especially taken with some Pollyanna style lamps with hanging crystals. I added a high pass filter and brightened things up a bit. And, since yesterday was new texture day at the texture club I chose a subtle grunge texture that added just what this image needed.
