Brucie Bonus

 

I suspect knowing full well of my weakness for an interesting bit of mappery, designer Dan Cassaro dropped me a line about, then dropped me a copy of, his self-published, Springsteen inspired Springstreets; a fictitious street map with all locations and street names taken from Bruce's lyrics. I'm not a Springsteen fan myself but have to admit, it is a marvelous piece of work. If you're quick, you might still be able to get a copy here.

Can you tell me how you photograph these pieces; like what camera do you use? They're always gorgeous.

Thanks Edward. It's all down to natural light and the macro setting, that's all. I use a very modest Fujifilm Digital compact; really nothing special. I almost only ever use daylight, although that can be a problem here in Northern Ireland. And I usually use the macro setting because it gives you depth of field that you wouldn't get otherwise (and of course the ability to get close to the subject).

Does that camera have a manual focus? I find it hard to get shots like this with the macro lens and autofocus.
