I rarely visit Scarborough Town Centre mall, but I had a meeting close by and I needed to pick something up from there. And of course as a true photographer I try to always have my camera with me because you never know what you'll find (if you're looking).
Not a lot was immediately that interesting or unusual until I came across the large renovation they were doing in the centre of the mall. As I looked up, I could see some interesting lines, angles and textures so I started snapping away.
A few lessons learned: always check the basics - I had left the camera in manual mode and wondered why the first exposures were off; and on Nikon's menu system you need to always remember to hit done after changing a lot of the settings. I had tweaked the custom image optimization settings, but forgot to hit done, so the settinbg went back to vivid - which as it happened, was ok for the shot.
I've been writing this blog since 2005. I have had a number of content specific blogs in the past, but decided in 2013 to consolidate them all back into PJMixer. You'll find photo projects, movie reviews, new music and general thoughts about my life.
