Oh no! It's my greatest weakness... Talking about myself. I'm a bicycle mechanic, and other things. Complete beginner photographer (constructive feedback welcomed). All images are mine unless otherwise noted. Now with a Nikon 1 V1. #HumanMadeArt

A black and white photo of an apple still attached to the tree, with foliage filling the rest of the frame.

A black and white photo of many apples on an apple tree, and a tangled mass of leaves and branches throughout the frame. A little busy, I guess.

A black and white photo of four fairly nice looking wooden chairs, like what might be found around a dinner table, sitting outside next to a chain link fence and a large electrical box of some kind. With bushes growing along the fence and the side of a building in the background.

So I think I'm going to get a Fuji x-e1, not a Nikon d600.
It just really seems to make more sense.
Have to come up with money, maybe next month, and I hope I end up with a nice one.

A black and white photo of three crows, two on the edge of a sidewalk and another in the street nearby. Otherwise nearly bare concrete/asphalt, only a little grass growing in cracks.

A black and white photo of two carrots which have grown spiraled around each other tightly, entwined, sitting on the edge of a shelf in front of the rest of the carrots for sale at a grocery store.

A black and white photo of a house surrounded by trees and bushes. Cloudy sky. Power lines. The roof of the house looks like it is in need of repair.

A black and white photo of the open doors of the shipping container which serves as a bike shop. Many bikes parked on the rack outside. Bundles of inner tubes hang from one of the doors. Wheels and buckets and bags of parts are visible. Photos of heroes hang overhead on a cable spanning the entrance of the container.

A black and white photo of a photographer on a street corner with a camera mounted on a tripod. Not sure what they were photographing. There are trees and houses on the opposite side of the street, and steady traffic of cars at the intersection.

Camera companies don't make a lot of sense to me
they pack the cameras with stuff I don't use
They do amazing things, but I don't want them
It would be nice if they would make something simple
Just shutter button
iso knob
shutter speed knob
viewfinder
raw format
standard mount

also looking at olympus em-5, and some of the fujis, and some other nikons that just aren't affordable
crop factor seems to make getting an excellent quality manual focus 50mm more expensive and tedious than buying lenses for the same frame size

I think I'm going to buy another camera soon
because I can't get lenses for mine
top of the list right now is a Nikon d600
mainly because it uses a standard mount and has crop factor of 1, and is somewhat affordable

A black and white photo of crows on a chain link fence. Several are perched, at least one is taking off and another is in flight. Bushes and small trees are visible in the background.

A black and white photo of two piles of bike parts being searched through on "the magic carpet". One pile of brake levers and another of rear derailleurs, with other random parts mixed in. Empty buckets used for storing parts, a bicycle floor pump, part of a wheel, part of a bike, part of a chair, the base of a lamp post, and some grass are also visible in the photo.

A black and white photo of an excavator bucket and articulating arm detached from it's vehicle and planted in the ground outside the entrance of a metal shop. It is rusting, it occasionally has graffiti applied to it, plants grow in the bucket and hang down it's side. behind it is a chain link fence topped with barbed wire. In the distance a wooden fence and bushes and some small trees are visible.

There's a movie called Soul on a String that's worth checking out. Tibetan Surrealist. Nothing like the one in the post(I don't think anything else is), but worth seeing once.
