Playing with the camera (and hunting snapshots)

Comments Off on Playing with the camera (and hunting snapshots)

So, this week’s snapshot hunter was ‘soft’; there were billions of kittens and flowers and cuddly teddy bears; thankfully, being as I’ve been laid here trying to rest and get well (and how well has that worked? huh?), I’ve had plenty of time to think. I came up with this:

For once, there are alternatives here and here. This is because I had great difficulty deciding between the ones I’d taken. Is it still a snapshot when you’ve taken about 15 of a scene you’ve set up? There’s a question. Still, it’s soft. I really liked the pseudo / almost black and white ones (my towels are, incidentally, blue) of which one is up there as an alternative – but they looked really rather stark and kinda contradicted the soft that I was aiming for.

I also had a bit of a play with the camera, and here’s two more little shots from round the house.

My back door is, I suspect, fairly rotten. It flexes a bit as it opens along the joints – and it’s very damp; there’s a mixture of streaks of water and mould spots on it.

And this is the view through my current back door – I love the distortion from the glass.

Kate's allegedly a human (although increasingly right-wing bigots would say otherwise). She's definitely not a vampire, despite what some other people claim. She's also mostly built out of spite and overcoming oppositional-sexism, racism, and other random bullshit. So she's either a human or a lizard in disguise sent to destroy all of humanity. Either way, she's here to reassure that it's all fine.
