I spent the weekend of 18-19 April 2026 at the family farm along with my wife, son and his family.
I had just purchased a new (2nd hand) camera and lens—in fact we delayed our departure from home to accept the delivery—and I was keen to try them out. I created this small project for the weekend: 36 black and white “landscape” photographs (there’s a few more than 36) taken around the farm, all made with the new camera-lens combination.
The camera is a Panasonic Lumix GX85—a small micro 4/3 mirrorless camera—and the lens is a 15mm wide-angle (30mm full frame equivalent) prime lens, an ideal combination for hand-held street photography, so it stimluated some different approaches to framing compositions from the normal zoom lenses used on my other cameras.
I hope you enjoy the results as much as I enjoyed making them.
