picked up an old sigma wide "macro" (1:3) but. its aperture seems to be chosen randomly some of time. turns out this was a known issue on early models and sigma would repair them. this lens is from 2000 and looks basically untouched, so it's probably one of the faulty ones that never got turned in for the fix. i'll try calling sigma tomorrow and see if they'll do the fix on a 20+ year old lens lol. I doubt it but hey it might save me from returning it x . x

update: i returned it just fine 👍

anyway, subject is the same assassin bug on the same plant from last time, but no crop! wowee! BUG!

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
