April 05,  2012  Log Cabin

These are documentary shots of the log cabin near the Lady Bird Johnson wildflower trail in Callaway gardens.  Again I was using mostly the 18mm but also included the 35mm for one shot. In keeping with the subject matter I converted the images to B & W. I had only the jpgs to work with because at the time of writing Adobe does not support the raw files and I cannot support Silkypix or whatever the Fuji software is called. - I tried but the learning curve too steep. All of the images were normal hand held, auto focus, aperture priority. I opened the lenses wide to test the sharpness on this structure. The images came out acceptably well I think. I loved the colour of the old bricks so shot a close up on Velvia setting. The contrast was further tweaked a bit- not much  to kick it up a notch. No AF issues whatsoever outside or in dim light inside the cabin.
