( having trouble feeling like any particular photo is Good Enough so it's been tough selecting images to edit... maybe i'm in a moment of being more aware of what I'm doing wrong using this camera than what I'm doing right? maybe photography is more about the moment I take the photo than it is about the actual end result. [ a thought that is maybe nice for me but not really nice for anyone else.. ] )

my pinhole experiments return in the form of... just taping some tinfoil to the Q and poking a hole thru it with a needle thats wayyyy too high diameter (yet, tighter than my last attempt by a nice margin). the results? incredibly beautiful (especially in video! will share whenever i decide what to do with that footage).

photo from last august. i think it could be pushed even brighter (edit in reflection i think it is quite bright actually)

found a cable for the LX3

got some new toys

ghosts, featuring ghosts

i think its just a tough shot to work with, shooting into the sun, underexposed/exposed for sky, and a bit too wide to really even see the birds well, but its what i got when i pulled over my car and ran at the birds to try to get something

next day edit: in reflection i think i actually did Pretty Good with the color edit

sooo many of my shots got fucked up by harsh red LEDs ; _ ; (this one turned out good tho)

i forgot that i could switch my camera to live view for shots that point at the sun lol

i was at my parents house and my dad told me that the sunshine looked awesome thru the sprinkler but his phone camera just couldn't cut it

iri informed me that this is whats called bokeh balls and that they have 7 sides due to the 7 aperture blades in the nikon lenses! oh also check out the freak flares in the top, i think its the result of the old lens having no anti-reflective coating?
