In the mix, I had the use of a fisheye lens for a couple of days. Fisheyes are gimmicky; they are the eyelash yarn of photography . Every once in a while, fun to play with. Before I handed it back, I turned it on Farley, who passes by at 7 every morning.
Sidenote: when you drive a 20 year old car, you know your mechanic and his yard decor pretty well. He's got a steampunk vibe going on.
And on late summer chaos out front.
The Gaia shawl is finished, on a slow dry over this wet chilly weekend. You can see from the fisheye shots that I ignored days of brilliant sun & dry breezes, giving it a dunk n' block as a storm moved in Friday. So....show & tell next time, I'll spare you the vision of a damp striped shawl pinned out on a bright patterned beach towel, draped over a floral sofa.
Cool. The eyelash yarn of photography - snort.
ReplyDeleteI walk by my mechanics almost every day, he and his wife know lots about us! My philosophy is always find a mechanic that's downhill from your house.
I'm super ecstatic today because I finally fixed my internet connectivity problem. I moved the router. Duh.
Mary Lou has a great philosophy.
ReplyDeleteIts great to see we have similar blocking methods ;) My advanced techniques involve kittens.
"eyelash yarn of photography" - great line.
Glad you survived the roof of Sonic!
ReplyDeleteMy photoman hub had a job photographing this musician who only wanted him to use a fisheye lens! Oy! Those were some strange photos!
Love your fish eye view.
ReplyDeleteThat Mary Lou is funny.
LOVE basset hounds.
ReplyDeleteI plan to incorporate the word "steampunk" into my daily vocabulary. Thanks for introducing it to me.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think I'm glad you weren't using the fisheye on the rooftop - could have made for some bad eye-foot coordination.
Love the fisheyes!
ReplyDeleteAnd this post. Very Gale.
The shot of the striped shawl/striped towel/floral sofa, though? I want to see that--it sounds like a rockin' quilt.
