Macro Photography
More macro photography. I experimented with setting it to the smallest aperture (F27. ) Leaving the camera to choose the speed I generally end up with too lower speed and things looked blury, so I manually set the speed too, setting it at 1/125 second. In the mid-day sunshine, setting the sensitivity to 400 ISO was enough. Things generally came out a little under or over exposed, but that was fairly easy to correct.
Macro Photography
I’ve recently been given a macro lens. I’ve only been practicing a few days now, but these are my favourite shots so far.
Painting Johnny
A couple of weeks ago my and my friends Johnny Palmer and Helen O’Keeffe set out to take a few pictures in Jardin des Tuileries.
The Dystopian Future That We Live In: Party Store
Recently I was invited to a fancy dress party with a pirate theme. I had most of the things I needed for my costume but needed a few feathers and beads for that Johnny Depp look. Fortunately, not far from where I live, is a shop called “Festival Sensations”. The shop has the subtitle “Le plus grand magasin de fete de votre region” / “The largest party shop in your region”, which reminded me of the episode of Father Ted where the priests accidentally wander into “Ireland’s largest lingerie department”.
