anyways, these were from buntzen lake today, and it was cloudy in that it was like the sky was squeezing, trying to hold it in. it failt and started pissing on vancouver momentarily. my kind of weather. i love that i keep reinventing those same emo settings in different emo ways ;D just to make sure that the world DOESNT UNDERSTANDDD MEEEE ;( oh god that's nauseating.
i'm going to start off heavy here.
i fucking love this photo.
now, if you know me, i can be ocd about many things, and sometimes pretty severely. i love this goddamn photo so much, i'll post it at the largest size blogspot lets me just to unleash its glory, to hell with the fact that it goes over the post border. this was taken about 30 seconds from the parking lot; apparently buntzen lake's water levels were uberhigh - picnic tables were half submerged. i want to print a poster-sized copy of this and make love to it every night.
...
anyways yeah, i didn't come home with all too many photos, but they were pretty much all keepers. tis a nice feeling.
indulged in some moss fetish here....
fern sub-fetish....
wuhbam, epicness ensues. this was shot with the d-fa 100/2.8 wr, my very first non-kit lens. in recent times it hasn't been getting as much love, but now that i'm relearning how to "see" long, it's making a comeback. it really should be used a shitton lot more than it currently is, so this is a good start. and, i genuinely like this photo and it genuinely called for this lens to be used too, as opposed to me forcing myself to use it. so that's good.
no idea what this is but i found it hanging on this thing and...it looks cool? yeah.
whipped out the super-tak for the below two shots cause i had to get SOMETHING for the single in march challenge; up till now it's been with the fa43 unless otherwise noted.
mainly took this for the textures assignment for school. idk wtf that grey creeping plague of death is but it looks cool? : D
picked this as my singleinmarch photo. walking back to the car, rain falling on my face, and it feels great. that sounds a little emo in the description but it's really almost...therapeutic? just walking in the rain like that. there was a hiker up ahead and if he hadn't ducked into a side trail he would've really made this shot awesome, as it is it's a bit empty but oh welllllll.
for here, im not sure which one i prefer. i love them both, but...iunno. first one's continuity with the water, i think i prefer, but i like my treatment on the second one, and the water boundary at the tree is also kinda like a gandalf you shall gtfo thing. i do prefer the second one's framing, though (the first one was when i just got out of the car, the one on the right was when i just got back to the car and decided to retake it.
and that concludes today's episode of i'm pretty sleepy and soymilk deprived now, folks. today was a great gear day in that, well, aside from the obvious omg my lenses could cure erectile dysfunction 50 times over, well...
my bag, the lowepro slingshot 102, was awesome. sometimes the tripod was a bit tough to get back on after using it, but i can't think of any ways it wuold be improved so i'll live with that. and it slip down on my shoulder a bit unless i tighten it to the point of my diaphragm and intercostal muscles being unable to create sufficient negative pressure for inspiration. but yeah, my shit was in a second's reach, all in a pretty small, waterproof package. and it's so comfortable, omg. when i lift my bag by the strap, im surprised how heavy it is, because the padding is so good it feels like it weighs nothing.
and i love my hiking shoes i just got. stepping in puddles and mud that's 99% water 1% dirt, my feet never got wet at all and were warm the whole time.
also, my filters. they worked great, and i finally got to use my 10-stop ND filter legit - that last shot (the pair i couldn't pick; the right hand side one) used it. cut down from 1/400 of a second to 3 seconds, making the water super smooth...i probably should've retaken the horizontal one using the ND filter again too, but that thought didn't occur to me at the time...
finally, my best piece of equipment today, my pe- let's not post shit i'll regret on the internet.
