davidd's A Doll A Day 2019

[davidd]

I sometimes start a shoot & am just lazy about hauling out the tripod.  I start, think I'm going to get away with it, then say, "OK, if you're gonna do it, do it right", & go get it.  Always worth the effort.

Oh, and another option for shorter minimum focus distance without giving up f-stops is closeup lenses.  You've maybe seen these?  Just little screw-on things like a filter:  


Geez I miss my K1000  

I'm totally lazy about hauling out the tripod. I also think, "this would be so much better with a tripod, and it will only take me a couple of minutes to go get it," but unlike you... I don't!


I had some close-up lenses once, years ago, but I ended up never using them. Too fussy. Prone to dust and fingerprints. Mostly, though, that's the kind of little sleeve of attachments that I can never find when I need it. Lazy + disorganized = consistent failure.

I wish somebody made a digital equivalent of a K1000, with ONLY the features that were on the K1000, and nothing else. But the manufacturers seem determined to add every extra feature they can think of, and the camera snobs still complain that "it doesn't have XYZ feature."

The one of cheerful Carly was great to see this morning, cheered me up immensely imagining her ex-ploring the catacombs

Carly is pleased that her perilous perambulations prompted pleasure.

Carly's optimism should be an example to us all.

Indeed, and in particular to me, seeing as how she lives here and all.

I'm not surprised the iPad had troubles focusing deep in the labyrinthine catacombs beneath a long-forgotten Central American ruin.

That possibly ex-plains most of my camera issues. Perhaps if I were not always trying to take pictures in the dark...?

Would the line have been more popular had it been called the Wyld H34rt5 Crüe?

Probably not.
