got an m42->pk adapter and put the funny gigantic vivitar 85-205 f3.8 on it.
NOT a fun setup to hold its TOO heavy.
but dang it sure can portrait nice. this shot was at 205mm & wide open and is def a bit too compressed for portraiture, it squishes Finn's face pretty flat. but dang look at that tasteful softness.
(this was the best shot out of 20 i took of the cats. would like to try this lens outside and at tighter apertures but its a heat index 110f day today so NO.)

i really do think im good at "taking photos"

remembering why i was putting off editing the shots from this show, they weren't that great

i have cleared backlog up to image 9X9P2019... out of (as of posting) 4006*. yeah. yeah. YEAH.

*many interim images are things i've already edited, and the majority of photos i take are not keepers

chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo

can only see these images tagged to edit for so many months before i either gotta just edit or decide its not really worth editing

just put a piece of paper on top of the scanner and boom it fixes the light angle problem. still gotta remove the lights from the scanning head though it washes out the image .. and maybe gotta look into writing custom scanner firmware to actually control exposure cuz once those clouds went away i was just getting pure white captures (oh wait i could just make an aperture for the lens. lollll). this shot turned out nice though
