MyPictureDay - Time Stands Still

A Snap Shot of Time

Some camera play time. It is a nice day outside today, with the exception of a pretty good solid wind. I'd guess around 10-15 MPH gust. We still have a ton of snow on the ground, and that makes for a very cold breeze.

I did not feel like going for a drive and spinning my wheels looking for out the window shots in the car, so I thought I would play with all my camera lens. The first one I did some minor editing on, I first cropped it out in a circle, then I rotated it to have a more normal look. (Okay so I really cropped and made it a circle so I could see what a circle picture would look like as a thumb nail on peakd).

I cropped and resized all the images to save some server space and also so it would not take to long to upload the pictures.

• f/25
• 4 Sec
• ISO 500

Lens 55-300 zoom

The colors are off, I did not bother to try and do any color corrections, and I did not use the flash.

So on with the Photo Play:

I have four camera lenses: A 55-300 Zoom, (used above), a standard 35 MM lens, a 10-20 MM Landscape Lens, and a 40 MM Macro Lens.

The next three images were all taken from the tripod and from the same distance, with the 35, the 10-20, and the Macro lenses.

First up is the 35 mm lens.

• F22
• 2 sec's
• ISO 500
  

---

This is the 10-20 MM lens. It has the best color representation.

• f/22
• .77 Sec's
• ISO 500
  

---

And here is the Macro Lens

• f/20
• 1.3 sec's
• ISO 500
  

As I mentioned all of those images were taken from a tripod, indoors, same location, same height on the tripod, only change was the lenses being swapped out with the camera still on the tripod so it would not move.

---

Final images. For these two I had to take the stool away and put the watch on the floor, and raise the tripod up pretty much all the way in order to get a focused shot.

• f/25
• 2.5 sec's
• ISO 500
• focal 125 mm

---

And the last zoomed in all the way. * f/25 * 4 Sec * ISO 500 * focal 300 mm

This is the image I cropped the circle one out of and rotated. I don't know how long ago that watch stopped, but even though I do not use it, or any watch any more I still like it.

So by now you are probably wondering what was the purpose, what did I want to learn or want to accomplish. Well I learned that color does not really come through, but then again, I already knew that. I know how far away I need to be from something when I use the zoom lens, (at least 6 feet, just like some other current 6 foot rule, but we won't dwell on that).

Color representation my 10-20 mm did the best, clarity of shot, a toss up macro verse the big zoom.

To be honest though I just wanted to make a post, so I decided to play with time. I almost was not going to post these pictures after reading and looking at @bdmillergallery post, he got a brand new old watch, a real beaut too, but then I saw @timsaid contest post MyPictureDay is back on Hive! Weekly Photography Contest

Also since this was all about the pictures, I wanted to know how to make small pictures like I did on steem, and now I know how, (thanks to @asgarth in peakd discord). The small watch picture is a link to @timsaid's contest page. here is the code:
