Shadows of Cueva de los Verdes, originally uploaded by KaraNagai.

I’ve started processing photos brought from our holidays on Lanzarote.
To keep the problem manageable, I’ve split it into few thematic series. Here is the first one – the results of my attempt to make pictures in a cave called Cueva de los Verdes.

BTW, this trip I took a minimalistic approach to photographic equipment. I had only a small micro 4/3 camera with 20mm lense with me. Nothing else.

I just bought the camera. The original idea was to set it to F/4, pre-focus on 4 meters, shoot B&W JPEGs with no post-processing or cropping aftewards.

It appeared that street photography with a pre-focused camera requires significantly more skills that I posess. So I switched to auto-focus after half an hour. Apart from that I kept the original idea intact, so the images are neither cropped nor post-processed in any way.

Here are few of them selected for Flickr

And here are all of them except for those I deleted completely.

I processed (mostly deleted) a heap of random shots I’ve taken in August. This one and few more survived.

I borrowed a Zenitar fisheye lens adopted for Canon mount. Never before I used such a wide lens. That was a fascinating new experience despite that lense not being able to focus on anything further than 2-3 meters.

I like smooth, unsharp, black & white portraits.
