Week 52

I guess I should put something in here for the last week, eh?

I was messing around with a Lens Baby attachment I have had since I got that lens this summer, but never used. It converts the standard 50mm lens into either a wide-angle lens, or a macro lens. Not sure on the specs, but I think it's something like 20mm and 80mm, respectively. Anyway, it seems like it would be fun to play with more. I was just shooting from my computer in my living room. Oh, and the macro part of it? It's seriously about macro. Nothing was in focus until I got at least 3" from the subject. Maybe closer.

The wide-angle "lens". I couldn't get anything to focus, so I'll have to play with this one some more.

Same shot as above, actually. Just with the macro lens. I had no idea I had to be so close to the subject, so I was worried I couldn't get anything to be even remotely close to in focus.

Cute little ornament. 

Glittery tree decoration.

I love how abstract this is.

My husband actually took this one. I like it.

All pictures taken with the LensBaby, ISO 3200, f/4, 1/30 sec.

Week 8

Can you guess what this is?

Here's another hint:

week 2

I went to the conservatory at Volunteer Park today and took way too many pictures. But all the plants were so cool and photographed so well. The good thing is this is a blog dedicated solely to photography, so I can post a million pictures guilt-free. And because of the sheer number of pictures, I will not be posting the picture info. But all were shot at ISO 400 with a 50mm lens. F/stop was usually somewhere between f/2-f/4, with some exceptions.

"Macro" (see below)

These look like two very in love octopuses.

Sometime I just love an over-exposed picture.

 The last few are "macro". I don't have a macro lens, but I have a macro filter. I've owned it for years, but this was the first time I'd really used it, and was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked.
