It was a dark, damp, windy morning this morning, and myself and my youngest decided to pop to the annual Neath September Fair for a look around the various market stalls and just absorb the atmosphere. Sadly, the whole experience was a shadow of its former-self. The only constant from the decades of visiting the fair was the inclement weather.
I thought I would take the Nikon ZF with the Viltrox 28mm F/4.5 chip lens and the TTArtisan 85mm F/1.8. I only used the 28mm though, but managed to capture the feel of the day. I’m still undecided to if I will keep the28mm lens long-term. Yes, it is small and discreet, and the image quality is great in good weather, but… well, only time will tell. I will put my review up of this lens very soon, plus I have the new TTArtisan 85mm F/1.8 lens that I recently bought that will be reviewed also.
All images were edited in RapidRaw 1.6.3 from raw, and using a Kodak Gold 200 LUT to colour grade.
I’ve included a few images of the journey, including one which literally defines Britain at the moment for a lot of people. I thought I would capture the image before the UK Government ban this sort of thing.
