A cool macro shot of the penny covered bar at Mike's Bar. This is what boredom and a new digital camera does to you.
Day 50: Wow! 50 whole days of flickr photo-a-day!!! i'm enjoying this thoroughly, sometimes it feels like homework, other times it makes me think creatively. Sometimes it bothers me that i might repeat style of photos, other times i wanna try out the technique again. It's hit or miss, but the best part is i'm doing it for myself, so no matter what, i can't screw up!
Anyways, i took this cool macro of my girlfriend's cat's nose. I like the composition and DOF as well as the exposure.
...for the next few weeks. This is my friend's camera that I will be using to take her wedding photos with on her special day. Although this isn't a dSLR, it's got many features that are similar to one, and is my first time using an upscale digital camera.
My review thus far (haven't quite figured out all the features yet, but still experimenting):
Pros:
*LOVE the zoom! I think it's about 10.7x optical zoom, which is friggin' AMAZING! (ok, bear with me, I only have a 3x zoom on my camera, so this is pretty cool).
*macro AND super macro mode! (that's one of the features lacking on my camera that I am totally envious of and main reason for getting a dSLR. I simply love the dof and bokeh that dSLR creates!).
*image stabilization rocks!
*pretty small and light and still fits in my purse!
*goes up to iso1600!
Cons
*Perhaps it is because I am still unfamilar with what AF setting to use under different lightings, but with this camera, after you adjust the AF setting, you need to do a playback to see the image that you have captured.... as opposed to seeing what the setting looks like on the LCD screen before snapping the pic... (i guess it's similar to dSLRs in that aspect, but I find that quite inconvenient).
*the batteries run out fairly quickly if you keep needing to view the playback.
That's all that I think of it so far... I hope to be more familiar with it in time for the wedding!

An antique crystal vase which my mother left for me, made a cool macro photo.

A cool Macro shot of a Pine Tree out in our front yard in Feburary of 2015. I like how sharp the pine needles came out and how colorful the image is, despite being taken on a Winter morning.
February 21, 2015 - PENTAX K-x - -TAMRON FA 28-80mm F3.5-5.6 AL - 12-03-55 - 1/80 sec ƒ/9.0 - ISO 160 - Aperture priority- 34 mm- (51 mm.)
A cloud forest somewhere near Munnar. I can't for the life of me remember its name. I've Googled a lot too. I also was only carrying around one lens because I didn't want to drag my huge camera bag into the forest, so alas, no super-cool macro shots - just had to make do with the 18-200mm.
This was probably while Leech #1 was attacking me (even though I didn't know it).

Saturday I went to a flower garden in Tacoma WA. with flickr friend "little m" and met a new flickr friend, Don Briggs (both have killer photostreams.) A big thanks to Don for letting me use his super cool macro lens!

I was going through some older shots and found this cool macro I took a few months ago that never made it to my photostream.

[Reverse freelens macro shot]
I was wondering what i would take a picture of while sitting on my porch. I felt like I took a picture of almost everything in my yard. But then i remembered reading an article about freelensing and how you can reverse the lens to make a super cool macro lens. So I decided to do just that with a leaf. After much trial and error a couple of good photos came out. It was amazing looking at these photos and realizing even more than i did before, the little world that lives beneath the soles of our shoes. The inspiration for the title came when it came to me that the veins look like little canals in a city and everything was interconnected efficiently.

Did you know that if you turn your long lens around and hold it up against your camera you instantly get a pretty cool macro lens?

Shot with my Olympus TG-1 using the setting: Super LED Macro mode. It's a very cool macro mode and I really like the ability to light up the motif with the LED-light.
The Yamasheta is terrible even for a box camera. The rewind button on the bottom of the camera sticks and is a real pain; it ate the first two rolls of film I ran thru it. Interestingly, the lens is removable with out taking apart the camera (it has a clip on the bottom), which I discovered when I dropped the camera and the lens popped off and flew 20 feet away.
The DIY lens is made from the lens of a disposable camera taped to an old film cartridge container. When you looked through it, there was a cool macro-fisheye effect going. Unfortunately, none of the pictures taken with the lens developed…
ODC - Invention
I had a look at what others had photographed for this challenge and I particularly liked the safety matches the Swedish Goose chose (both because the image was great but also because they were actually invented in Sweden). I thought I should do a Greek invention, too. So I went online to find a list of famous Greek inventions and after a lot of reading, I chose coined money and thought 'why not?' now that I have my cool macro converter, I can do that. Checked my wallet and found few coins which, luckily, looked quite new. So here's some New Zealand coins, but I must admit, lighting them is tricky and I should have played around more with it but to be honest, I was quite tired and wanted a shot for today. So here it is and hope you like it.
Just playing around with yesterday's gift from the Leica factory. A pure and raw Leica lens. Held before the iphone 'micro-hole', that takes the photos, we have a cool macro mode. Nice.

We had some of our family Christmas yesterday and this is some of the loot I scored! The Crumpler "5 Million Dollar Home" so I don't have to carry a boring camera bag around, (red, my favorite color!) and a set of Kenko Extension tubes so I can take cool macro shots like the previous two pics in my photostream. I love my family!
