I FINALLY took a couple of days off...not that I am complaining (I loves me some overtime) but I needed to reset my clock. Too much crap has been going on and I haven't been sleeping well.
Guess what...I slept very well - for 2 days. Two WHOLE days. I had a little "stay-cation" at a nearby hotel and slept like a log. I took along my bathing suit (I'm a water baby) but I never changed out of my jammies. I even met a friend for dinner one night and secretly wore my "dressy" jammies. Here are a couple of photos of my suite. It was pretty nice.
Got one text that made me quite angry but that's what I get for leaving my phone on while I was vacationing. Gotta love your "friends". Yeah, right.
And, I digress. After my dinner date, I stopped at the store (in my jammies - god forbid) and bought some snacky things to tide me over throughout the night. (All I ended up eating of the haul were the powdered doughnuts.) I also bought a knock-off spirograph set, a stuffed elephant (to go with Teddy and my new Cracker Barrel sock monkey, Joe) and a Lego car. I love Legos. I miss Legos. After I assembled the race car, I decided to take some photos - of course. I took a sequence using several different f-stops. In this first one, I shot at f/5.6 but I didn't like this angle...the light was behind me and I didn't like the shadows it cast.
So, I turned the car to face the other direction. Much better. This photo was shot at f/9. I love having a tiny focal point but hey, I was experimenting...remember?
Then we're at f/16 for this next one. Little more depth of field...
And then on to f/32. Everything is in focus now. I don't like this, but it was worth seeing - experiment-wise.
Maybe I'm just too artsy-fartsy...or maybe I like being "dramatic". Here is my last photo for this observation...and I went all out. Shot at f/5.6 and converted to Black & White and a vignette added. Arsty and Fartsy. Hey...I'm allowed.
