Manual focus. Bored. Inspired by mohjitos and music.
This is the room I was staying in at my friend's beach house while he was away in Florida.
It's right next door to the bar, so you can't sleep till closing time when the music stops.
I spent most the night running on the beach with my boyfriend's Doberman, Zeus. That dog weighs more than I do by about 20 pounds. He's huge. But I can still outrun him. :D

Playing with bokeh on my little Exilim Z850 point-&-shoot.
Not too bad results for this...
I'll have to try it at night with a long exposure.

Since I didn't have work or class today, I got to finally see my doctor for my follow up. The day of Thanksgiving, one of the doctors in the emergency room apparently thought I had a possible blood clot. When you're lying down in bed for several hours and being injected with all types of liquids, you don't listen as much. (Well in my case I wasn't) My mind was elsewhere. I had a possible chance of having a blood clot at the time, even with all the x-ray scans and test. Today, my doctor said everything was fine. More or less it was probably mucus that was built up and got caught up. If I did have a blood clot I would of stayed a day or two in the hospital. Thankfully, I'm fine and my doctor said I'm pretty healthy.
After my doctor's appointment, decided to test out Eric's Nikon 55mm F/3.5 Non-AI lens through out the day. I must say, even this lens is an older lens, that didn't bother me one bit. I appreciate the craft, quality and overall built of older lens. This lens doesn't auto focus, and I like for once I had to manual focus only. At times, I wish this lens did auto focus but I had fun just playing around. All I can say is, this lens is super sharp even at F/3.5. Since Rhandy and Girlie were home all day, we all decided to put up the Christmas tree and lights. It's that time of the year again and boy did time fly this year. Since December is in a few days, I am going to work on my yearly recap. I will try some new stuff but keep the old method going since it works. Stay Tuned.

Alright, so I don’t yet have my homemade cherry wood pinhole camera totally completed for test shots… just waiting for final gluing to cure after I needed to make a few last minute adjustments last night and very early this morning. But after Steven asked a bit about my plans for my future (and much more ambitious plans) to eventually build a tilt-shift camera… I figured maybe it is time to upload a few sample images of what my homemade tilt-shift lens is capable of. all shot at f/4.
These are simple test shots I just took a couple hours ago while I was walking my dog. Since I really need to work on focusing distance, I was hand-holding my tilt-shift lens in front of the camera- I did NOT secure it to the bayonet mount. Using the front Nikon F-mount bayonet mount on my ‘plunger-cam‘ style homemade tilt-shift adapter, I used my old manual focus Nikon Series E 100mm f/2.8 lens on my Nikon D300 for all these images.
I am prolly able to get nearly 20 degrees of shift and about 14 degrees of tilt. I haven’t measured, so I’m just guessing here. Yeah, some curious light leaks and flares and ghosts on my D300. No big dealio to me at this point. Maybe, kinda cool.
Cheers.

day one. 1/365
I've been tagged for that write-ten-things-about-yourself thing a few times, and, well, it's a good excuse to write in this lovely little box. I miss ranting here, to be honest. :)
here goes nothing.
1. I'm 5' 6" and have been wearing glasses since I was 13 months old.
2. One of my utmost wishes is that I really really wish more people would open up to me. I just love people. I really do.
3. All I want to do is help people. I don't care how that sounds to you. I've found that that's all that really, truly makes me happy. Serving.
4. This whole thing probably makes makes me seem really corny. I don't care. Maybe I am, ha.
5. I hurt for a lot of people. I don't know. I just do. I can't help it. It kills me to see what some people are going through.
6. I get anxious over every little thing. My brain is all over the place and it stresses me out. But at the same time, I could whip out an oral presentation or argue in a debate no problemo.
7. A lot of the time, what I am to other people is what I wish they'd be to me.
8. I used to write. All the time. It was like taking photos is to me today. This may sound unrelated, but through that I learned I can't put complete trust in any one person. That sounds morbid. But it's what I learned.
9. I plan on making a lot of mistakes. I don't learn much from success.
10. If I had to describe my childhood (well, the past, younger parts of it) in two words, I would have to say Italian Music. Not kidding here. I'm an unintentional Andrea Bocelli expert. Well, when it come to lyrics. Not what they mean, just what they sound like. I can "sing along." Hah.
Fuji HS20 handheld shots of my three new lenses from Ebay. They are manual focus Canon FD 24/2.8, 100/2.8, and 135/2.8. I look forward to comparing these to other new auto and old manual lenses. They are fairly well-reviewed. The couple year old Fuji HS20 still takes great macro shots up to just a centimeter away.
For the first round of testing, I'll take the 24mm on a Sony a5000 around Vulcan Park in Birmingham, Alabama. The Sony a5000 is new also, so I'm guessing this will be a challenge.
and didn't grab anything. Since the movie "eat pray love" spiritual business has exploded in Ubud and even locals have learned using american style manipulative language
