I probably ruined my sister’s bridal party photos by squinting in every single shot. The photographer had the bride and her attendants pose in the middle of an open, golden field in direct sunlight. I’m sure the light was lovely for photographs, but my eyes just couldn’t bear it. If only we could have all worn matching sunglasses.
For my outfit photos, I have no one to please but myself, so I can stand in the shade and wear dark glasses.
Vest, AC-3998 (cut from a thrifted jacket). Shirt, Disney. Skirt, Carole Little (thrifted). Boots, Vince Camuto (consignment). Sunglasses, Coco Sunglasses. Earrings, vintage. Bag, Aldo.
I try to avoid the squints without sunglasses by posing under cover and looking at the ground, but I still look pained by sunlight.

. . . it could just be Crosville.
Another shot of freshly released Bristol Lodekka EOO 590 at work on the Bala Lake Railway's steam gala free shuttle last weekend. The bus had been new to Eastern National but for the purposes of its entering the Welsh village of Llanuwchllyn here, it takes on a slight Crosville feel.

This is the sixth portrait of my attempt at the 100 strangers project.
Heading home from work I was on a packed tram. It was too full for me to make my way to the door at my stop so I stayed on until most people jumped off at the city. It was still light and I had no need to rush home so I wandered around near the river looking for people to shoot. I spotted this lass on the other side of a zebra crossing and waited for her to come to me. She was quite happy to have her picture taken and asked for no explanation.
Shooting with the subject facing the sun seems to give the best separation between them and a slightly darker background. Though it did cause this girl to squint a little. I might try and use the sun for some back lighting soon and look for another light source to bring up the subject's face.
squinting at my screen. i had the camera set up next to the computer ready to upload photos and triggered the remote one more time.
Some jumping spiders' visual acuity exceeds by a factor of ten that of dragonflies, which have by far the best vision among insects; in fact the human eye is only about five times sharper than a jumping spider's. They achieve this by a telephoto-like series of lenses, a four-layer retina and the ability to swivel their eyes and integrate images from different stages in the scan. The downside is that the scanning and integrating processes are relatively slow.
Something I learned today.
