No not that awkward day at school when you wore that unfortunate shirt and had that weird haircut.\u00a0 This was just a fun morning of taking pictures shared with another photographer. \u00a0Here is the link to Duncan’s blog post for the same “Picture day” \u00a0Granny and Grumpa’s\u00a0Antiques<\/a><\/p>\n

We decided to meet at a place in Abbotsford that is renowned for it’s antiques and collectibles, Granny and Grumpas.\u00a0 Neither of us had been there before and despite knowing that there would be a lot to see there was more than I expected.\u00a0 As we were there to take pictures and not necessarily to buy anything we made a small donation before heading into the antique abyss.\u00a0 There really is more than you can take in a short period of time.\u00a0 The other thing to consider photographically is that most of the interiors are very dark.\u00a0 I brought three lenses with this in mind the DA 35 Macro Ltd, DFA 100 f2.8 macro WR and the FA 50 f1.4\u00a0 as well as a flash the Pentax AF540 FGZ.\u00a0 While using prime lenses limited my framing options the close focusing of the macro lenses worked in the sometimes tight spaces. \u00a0I ended up with at least as many images on my phone for Instagram as I took with my DSLR but here are some of the latter.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
