OLI Photography

So this week’s assignment was cause and effect.  I remember spending countless frusterating hours on setting up dominos.  As a kid I would want to set up the huge elaborate images then watch them all fall down.  Unfortunately, I have the attention span of a..oh look a bird.

In my world even as a kid there was no clearer example of cause and effect than that of setting up dominos and knocking them down.

Still playing with the macro lens which is always fun.  This week’s assignment was around the house.  I tried my first idea which was about as exciting as watching paint dry.  Amazingly enough I bailed on that one and went outside.  There I found a multitude of cool things to shoot all of which being blown around in the seemingly gale forced wind.  So in an attempt to preserve the environment I ripped the branch off the tree and took pictures on a table.

For perspective the branch looking things are actually little pine needles.   Gotta love macro.

What did I learn:

1. Wind is REALLY hard to do macro in
2. At 1:1 you can see every single spot of dust on the lens
