Postcard from Here

I enjoy being outside. I take my camera with me to help me think about what I am seeing, it helps me to really be wherever I am and not just plodding along.  A recent outing took me to St. Ives, and I have created these images from that day:

ISO 200 4.3mm f/2.7

ISO 160 11.1mm f/5.0 1/200sec

ISO 200 6.22mm f/2.5 1/200sec

I shot the images using my point and shoot, which I am sorry to say is having some trouble focusing these days. When I was walking I was thinking about creating a story or a postcard of everyday life. So when I went to edit the photos I settled on a series of edits and applied them identically to each of these photos. They have all been given a warm, vintage, slightly soft look. They were all taken on Sunday and are meant to conjure a sense of a walk with the purpose of just enjoying the walk.

Here is the postcard version:

ISO 200 6.22mm f/2.5 1/200sec

ISO 160 11.1mm f/5.0 1/200sec

ISO 200 4.3mm f/2.7

The application of the same editing filters, I hope, helps the images hold together.

What do you think, does this look like an idyllic Sunday walk? Do you like the idea of having the photos all edited in the same manner?  Feel free to leave a comment below.

Cheers!
