found an actual tripod and had fun with it in the garden!
using a tripod is fun actually! at least for small things.
speaking of, macro shooting is not fun on a non-close-focusing lens x . x
setting minimum focus distance then moving the whole tripod back and forth, don't recommend! (i guess you do this during Real Macro too, but there you have the wiggle room to focus out to like 1:2-1:4 magnification and still have a Pretty Big small subject).
2nd shot is very busy and i should've stopped the aperture down even more than just f8 but i'm still pretty happy with it.
it doesnt look like this at all in person
the dither goes silly on this one (first image dithered gif second image jpg)
dead end of mall. behind a fairly busy intersection. we sat on those little tables staring forward at the plastic wall for about an hour. many passersby were confused, concerned, scared, or just plain amused. we didn't really mean to commit to the idea for so long it just sorta happened.
28mm 2.8 manual focus k mount its capable of being p sharp
surprisingly few of these left unedited in the backlog. i take this exact shot so often. i'll prbobably figure out a place online to put them all next to each other someday
the final product is nothing what the preview window looked like. experimenting with masked sections of posterization and sections of dither
and that finishes what we started back in october. there's various other photoshoots i've been avoiding touching but I think I'm ready to get em done now.
coming back to this shoot with a better idea of how to edit it
