Blue Sky
I couldn't figure out how to really capture a blue sky for the LONGEST TIME. Everything all the time was super overexposed.
Until I realized the detriment of me liking to use such shallow depth of field. DUH AMY. Widest aperture can do that! I LOVE me some shallow DOF but because I do it so much I didn't realize it's FAIL on other things.
Live and learn.
Lame example but it's better than usual:
Writing a comment to Mandie, I was reminded of this and it's really bothering me.
I keep finding stuff out about my friend Steph's relationship than I really care to. From 2 different sources now, all I'm hearing about is how controlling Dave is with her and money. He refuses to "let her" go to our other friend's wedding even though apparently Andreia is Steph's best friend and she would regret it (oh they're bff's? I see). But Steph won't make a fuss because it's too close to their own wedding and she doesn't want to upset him before they get married (wow RED FLAG and great attitude there Stephanie). It's awful because she makes good and decent money - she has her masters in Ed. and works as an itinerant in Nova Scotia, which is doing good for her. Even Dave makes equivalent or even higher than her. Let's just say they're not hurting for money.
Ugh I think he is a controlling twat. She is severely allergic to cats; he likes cats. So they get cats. She wants to live closer to her work in Halifax; he wants to be closer to his work. So they live in the boonies closer to his work. She wants to go to Portugal; he doesn't want her to. She doesn't get to go. DO YOU SEE A PATTERN EMERGING.
I thought I was a pushover but I'll tell you if someone told me I couldn't do something with MY OWN MONEY? Oh there would be hell to pay.
I know that's personal stuff, but I needed to write it out somewhere. I'm really bothered by it all. I'm especially irritated because I've had to put up with Steph going ON AND ON AND ON about how amazing Dave is in every way, how the sun shines out of his butt....and I just don't like him.
I feel bad for her. I mean it's all fun and games now, but that could potentially turn really serious with his attitude.
Anyway I'm really tired of my friends tbh. I was never really involved because I'm single and I'm not invited because of it and it just makes me more and more irritated. I just realize more and more how little I mean to people. I'm not meant for friends. LONE WOLF, THAT'S ME. Oh well.
