I shot this back in November at the Elephant Falls in Dalat, Vietnam.
Square
It's been raining a lot here recently, and while I absolutely should be going out and braving the weather to shoot in the rain . . . well, I haven't. I've been a bit of a wuss. And so I fall back on familiar subjects, the most photogenic and easily accessible of whom is the cat, whether she is directing a kill stare from her throne or hiding among the blankets.
I cropped her square because she is anything but.
Plus, sorry for the little blogging hiatus these past few days. I just started a new job, and decided that when push came to shove, the blog was less important than the other things going on in my life at the moment. Also, the rain, and a bit of lack of creative spark. But I didn't forget you, and I didn't abandon you. I'll be here again tomorrow.
See you then!
Snow Portrait
This one's from a couple of months ago, but it's so much fun that I just had to post it. My mom and her boyfriend are just so cute together!
Fisheye
I have this cheap fisheye lens that I can screw onto my kit lens, and I wondered recently why I never used it. So I decided it must be experienced!And I realized why I never use it, it's terrible. The image is completely soft anywhere but the center, and the chromatic aberrations have to be seen to be believed (I worked really hard in Lightroom to get rid of them here). All reasons I can't wait to get rid of it and potentially pick up the Lensbaby fisheye optic, hoping that it performs a little better.
Still, there's something to be said for even a failed experiment. And I do like the experience of shooting with a fisheye, even if coming home and reviewing the images from this one was a bit of a letdown. As I recall, I paid less than $40 for it, so I really can't complain.
