did they warn you; better shape up if you want to succeed?
So my father bought himself a ridiculously cool camera that he totally doesn't need and that Marina and/or I will probably end up stealing because we totally needs it omfg!, and I spent most of last Saturday fucking around with it taking pictures around my grandmother's house. And I finally remembered to upload and post them. :)
It was a ridiculously sunny day. Automatic settings don't like ridiculously sunny days.
The optical zoom is a-fucking-mazing.
Yes, these are fake.
And we ate that papaya about 5 minutes after I took this pic. It was delicious.
These only look fake.
Dicking around with selective focus part 1.
Dicking around with selective focus part 2.
[And I just learned that "pinhas" are called "sugar apples" in English. Thanks, Wikipedia! PS: I hate them. They're slimey! Ew!]
Extreme proximity focus.
That tomato-looking thing was teeny weeny tiny; it looks about 5 times bigger. Sweet.
I just realized all the pics I took right behind the house look blueish.
O HAI overexposure!
And a leetle less overexposure.
I love that plant; she always looks like she's fighting her way out of the concrete. And winning.
Fucking dengue fever mosquito on the wall.
Again with the extreme proximity thing that makes stuff look gigantic.
Mangoes and bananas over the kitchen counter.
Papaya tree leaves are pretty.
Again, these only look fake.
And it's not just the picture, they look fake in real life too. Hee.
Golden-shrimp plant! I love these.
The ridiculously cool camera has a pull-out LCD screen so you can make low-angle shots without laying down on the ground.
Which in turn makes you start trying ridiculous angles in general. Of course.
See? Ridiculous angles. :)
More green trying to conquer concrete.
There are a bunch of these, even.
These are fake. Also, I like it how it clearly shows that camera lenses will distort most images something nasty.
Why hello there fishbowled tiles. *g*
I have no idea why there's a faucet on the wall.
Seriously, this is like, half a meter down from the ceiling.
And judging by the spider webs and the fact that it's been painted white along with the wall, I'm pretty sure it has never EVER been used.
Nails up on the wall = low tech security.
By the way, this is up 7 feet, or something. I was dicking around with the mobile LCD screen again.
Back lighting is always pretty.
No one could ever explain to me why there's a gap on the back wall.
For serious. It makes absolutely no sense at all.
Playing with angles again.
I love how it looks like that's the wall when in fact it's the limit between the garden and the floor.
