Yuck


I think that sums up Wednesday’s weather.

As the weather was so yucky and to have a little break from decorating the hallway I decided to try a little bit of Macro photography or in this case macro videography if that’s a word. It took me a while to figure out how to get set up to do this but in the end I managed to get a clear image on the camera’s screen instead of just a fuzzy image. Getting objects into focus is an art in itself. Below are three pictures which convince me more time devoted to this type of videoing might yield some worthwhile pictures.
African Violet

This goldfinch sort of accidentally came into view as I was trying to find the African violet flower. All in all I think there’s some promise. I started off having to go back to the video instruction manual which I always think is a bad sign. Sort of got there in the end by accident. The light for taking all the shots was dull so startling shots were never going to be the order of the day.

It’s back to some more decorating today  - Thursday.

  1. I think you've got your finches muddled up, must be the fumes from the wallpaper paste. We decorated the hall, stairs and landing last year, not a job I enjoy so I left it to Hubby.

  2. I have indeed got my finches muddled up. I'll have to look for a new editor too whose supposed to spot these little errors.
