I've been feeling a little out of sorts lately so decided to do something enjoyable with my Sunday. I'm not exactly sure why I chose to mess around with my macro lens though; I always seem to come away disappointed with my images and generally fucken depressed but, be that as it may, I spent some time playing around with my camera and even managed to get some acceptable shots. I mean, acceptable to me, as others may think they are terrible.
I'd planned to take some shots of textures as I've got a post in mind for down the track so I decided to start with some fabrics. I whipped my jeans off and went at it...Ok, I didn't do that at all, but I did go to the wardrobe to grab a pair of Levi's and started taking pictures. The images in this post are the result.
I have a mirrorless Olympus E-M10 MkIII and use the genuine Olympus macro lens on it. I've taken a few good shots in the past but my eyes tend to let me down. Or is it the fact I'm a terrible photographer that lets me down? It's probably the latter. I have a go though, and maybe that's all that really counts? It's not like I have to earn a living through my photos.
I don't know what settings I used as the point, shoot and hope, method is the one I employ mostly.
I shot on manual though, and the numbers 2.5, F4.5 and 200ISO come to mind. I've got no idea what that means, but after my well-practiced point, shoot and hope process happened I ended up with some photographs. I haven't zoomed in on any of these, what you see is right out of the camera, although I'll be able to zoom down on them as I shot them in a fairly large format. I also haven't edited them as I can't be bothered and don't know how to use any photo-editing programs...nor do I want to know.
Once I photographed my jeans I whipped my underpants off and photographed them...Ok, not really...But I did photograph some other fabrics and I'm really happy with how they came out. I'll share them over time.
It's been a very chilled Sunday for me and I'm really pleased I got a few photos that I'll be able to use in upcoming posts. I'm more pleased I didn't come away disappointed with my shots though and I look forward to sharing a few.
Anyway, right now I'm considering a snooze because, why the hell not? There's nothing better in life than Sunday afternoon snoozes...except for getting into the right other person's pants of course. Right? Oh, and just so you know, I actually hand pants on the whole time I wrote this post...Or did I?
