someone decided there should be some doug firs on campus, and i found out 21 years after i moved away from where they come from. unfortunately, it looks like the ipone se 2.0 did not agree that this picture was as pretty as i remembered it being, but whatever, these are my favorite seed cone by far. HAIL eSATA-n posted:evergreens are the best. pretty all year and drop fun crunchy cones possible point of disagreement: sycamores are real pretty with leaves, with the big green bits contrasting with the mottled to smooth bright trunks. i might make a case for birches, too. but i do agree that conifers are better.

I have a love hate relationship with those trees that drop leaves marsupials or whatever it is. in winter I hate them they are ugly but in summer they are my friend

i've been VERY slowly chipping away at the pictures i took last weekend because i've been also trying to actually remember to practice bass and there's only so much room in my day for artistic expression i guess  but i did just pack my bag for tomorrow with my camera and 14, 21, 43, and 77 lenses and a 25mm extension tube. i'm thinking about getting a third flash, too, for getting back around to painting with light. three off-camera flashes for wireless control with my k-3's built-in flash would give me a lot of options... and it would also serve to give me wireless control when-ifn i get a k-1, which don't have the built-in flash. i kinda miss playing with flashes... but ever since it cost me half a replacement value to get one fixed after it fell out of my backpack, i've been a little shy of taking them out. at least the current af540fgz ii is weather sealed, and if i found a used af360fgz ii for decent money, it would have that advantage too, plus not be a different brightness, requiring me to rethink how i point poo poo at other poo poo. i had a minute earlier where i thought about ordering an af200fg, which don't have the zoom and lack the tilt function, because i have the off-camera cable and shoe adapters, and that would be a way more portable option for putting light on macro shots than this other bullshit. someday i'll try to post a picture of what it takes to make coolass pictures like my monotropes.  k20d + da 16-45 + at least one AF360FGZ flash

i found another crew partying down, this time on some allium also, there were blackberry lily seed pods to abuse maximum aperture on  since my 43mm lens is the star of this post, one of the things I've always enjoyed doing with it is taking a landscape picture wide open with some object of interest as the focal point. here, it was the sphere off in the distance (more easily evident in the linked size).  you end up getting a pretty dreamy effect out of it, though i am not super happy with how this specific frame turned out. i think it's a combination of the kinda boring scenery being a bad choice for this effect, the weird-to-me time of day, and the sun's position really taxing the 1997-era coatings. someday though i'll take my film camera out with this lens and really roll around in that f1.9, and that'll be what convinces me to save up for full-frame.

The best way I can describe it is about incompleteness and how no fully logical system can describe itself completely.

art is about the intent of the artist which is why commercial and editorial photography are considered different things even though the process is identical

I'm going to predict the future: this is the traditional echi "ask a basic question without doing the most cursory look at decades of smart people's existing thoughts about the topic, state a bad opinion then play dumb" thing

its all art, even the commercial stuff. the intent itself doesnt matter, so long as you have intent even if you arent sure what it is. taking a picture just cause you think it looks cool? thats a art. Taking a picture cause it makes u feel a way? thats a art. taking a picture cause you want to learn how to take pictures better? thats a art
