...all my photos looked pretty much like this. A set of close-up lenses ("plus 1", "plus 2", and "plus 4") came with the Polaroid Pathfinder. The tiny leather case includes an inscrutable tape measure. Though I couldn't figure out how to use them with the camera's rangefinder focus, I would try a crack at 'em every now and then, but they were all fails. I wasted about 10 pieces of film that all turned out like this.
At first I thought the "plus 1", "plus 2", etc., made things farther away appear 1 or 2 times closer. But that's not how it works at all. Finally, after looking through the lens with my naked eye, I tried a new approach, The close up lenses allows you to put the camera lens pretty close, like within a foot (set at closest focus, 3 feet) of the subject and makes everything bigger, Big Shot style.

Again with the weird cartoon sky, but this one isn't as greyed out.

January 15, 2020 - We had a Bandoneon and Tango learning experience in Plaza Bomberos Voluntarios de La Boca after our free time exploring the La Boca neighborhood. Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The Hopkins-Nanjing Center Washington Support Office was delighted to have Dr. Minor address the alumni, friends and staff of the HNC.
there was some weird overcompensation thing happening with my camera where it made all my pictures grey because of the bright sunshine. Another strange thing was that all the clouds turned into these puffy cartoon clouds, like in this shot of Boston.

So many things went awry with these rolls that it's difficult to sort it all out. massive, ugly grain, no definition and extreme contrast, poorly exposed. . . many were overexposed due to sloppy metering, I should have gotten out the nd filter, and then there were troubles getting the rolls on the reels. developing at 82 degrees (can't get around this), possibly too much time in the soup. plus, my method of scanning negatives leaves a lot to be desired! but I think I might have learned some things.
They turned out to be huge! (I should have used the 1.5" biscuit cutter instead of the 2.75" one... oops... ^_^;)
A little bitter, the recipe I used ( www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/southern-biscuits... ) didn't call for cream of tartar, but I added it as a suggestion anyway. I should have skipped it and added a little spoonful of sugar. In any case, they were good with butter, and possibly jam, jelly, or spreadable fruit. One is all you need, maybe two, but the rest get used up through Tuesday.
Not bad for a first attempt. Recording results, taking notes, and integrating them for the next attempt. That's how I learn, adapt, evolve, and perfect my skills.
That approach can be applied to a lot of aspects of my life.
Enjoy!
These colorful desert humans were part of my 4th nature walk in Sabino Canyon. I find the people to be one of the most interesting parts of nature walks. Everyone knows more than I do, and I enjoy learning from others...;) I try to notice their clothing and gear to see what works for them, and could work for me too...

Praying Mantis Egg Case With Wasp Holes. It could be on a Creosote Bush.
Praying Mantis are avid hunters of insects, especially effective against flies, mosquitoes, bees, wasps, crane flies, grasshoppers and crickets. Praying Mantis egg cases contain about 200 eggs. Eggs will hatch when temperatures rise in spring, and hungry Praying Mantis babies will emerge. At the end of the season, females will lay several more egg clusters to continue the population the following year.
Wasps deposit their eggs in the Praying Mantis egg case. Fortunately, the wasp babies eat only a few of the Mantis eggs.
Nature Walks are definitely a way to make exercise itself interesting!!
It was a three hour walk with elements of hiking. At the end of two hours I felt great. At the two and a half hour mark, I felt like I had done a bit too much. On arriving back at the parking lot after three hours, I could barely move my leg quadriceps and gluteus maximus muscles...;)).
Last week I had to leave early for an appointment after only two hours. And, before that there was a two week break for Xmas Day and New Years Day. So I was really out of shape. Today I'm stiff and a bit sore, but nothing major...;))

...will cause you to see part of the shutter, hurrying to get out of the way before the flash pops and your exposure is created. At one point during the shoot I inadvertently bumped the shutter adjustment dial and wound up taking it to 1/400. Since the max flash sync speed on a D200 is 1/250 sec. I caught the shutter in flight, adding the dark bar to my photograph and slightly underexposing part the image.
