When I saw that it was snowing outside, I realized that I want to go and get a macro shot of a beautiful snowflake – guess what, I couldn’t get it. There were no snowflakes falling, just small pieces of ice.
But I did not come back with an empty SD. Here is what my camera saw today:
Hey you all!
I’ve lost many of you since my last post – that’s what happens if you’re trying to run a photography blog and won’t upload any new photos (- 30 followers).
So why have I been so “sleepy” for the past four months?
1) We had to move a lot = no time to operate the shutter.
2) Education and stuff = same result.
3) No inspiration = every picture I took was pale and lame, no reason to upload it here.
4) Computer troubles = no HDD to import my *.RAW files.
5) I was writing a book as a Christmas present to my wife (soon to become).
Happy holidays to you all! I hope to upload some fantastic frames soon.
Some shots from today’s short walk through the local nature’s wonderland.
As mentioned in the previous post we spent the day out today. We went to the Luke’s manor park – really nice, lovely and green place with an extremely relaxing atmosphere. If you ever should visit South-Estonia I strongly recommend you to go there.
Here is even the link to their homepage: http://www.lukemois.ee/.
Weather was beautiful – some solitary small clouds sailing in the big blue sky.
The temperature was too high in my opinion – car’s thermometer showed even 33 degrees C at one point.
After we got home I managed to repair aclickatatime’s f1.8 50mm auto focus problem – it had some hair or fur stuck between the AF gears. I also put the lens back together with only one small part that couldn’t find its place – lens is working fine so it shouldn’t matter 🙂 .
Enough of the text, here are the pictures that I managed to take with aclickatatime’s 18-200mm Tamron (thanks, honey).
Recently I have also been “hunting” thunder. Really wish to get one proper picture of lightning bolts.
That’s it for now – take care you all!
Oh and THANK YOU NEW FOLLOWERS! You have been noted – a big Thank You to you all!
Bu-bye!
Carcassonne
A longer pause yet again. Sorry! I’ve been really busy taking care of … stuff.
But here it is. A picture of our favorite board game – “Carcassonne”.
It started out as a random visit to the board games store, after what we infected our friends.
As of today we have 6 add-ons so the small board game has transferred to a floor game with a huge map as the end result.
Yesterday the four up us met and played one game. We started at 19:37 and the game ended at 23:00 – total play time 3 hours and 23 minutes.
I suggest you to give it a try.
So today I had a lot of free time (no wonder I have no money or a job).
I spent it in the nature, studying my new camera. Finally I even figured out, how to use custom White Balance. In total I made 41 photos, but after evaluating them the number came down to two.
I gave an Infrared filter as a present for aclickatatime.wordpress.com‘s birthday.
Today I tried it out myself. Here is the result (Quite happy with it actually. Bear in mind that it’s one of the first times that I used IR filter):
Taken with Canon 50mm fix lense.
A HDR I made near “Kiidjärve”. I might have overdone the colours, but still love it.
Taken with Canon 17-85mm lense and UV + CIR-Polarizing filters.
