More Stanley Park

Here’s a few more shots I took that day in August. Little bit of this and that.
Life… can be overwhelming sometimes.

Well, weeping Buddas can say it all sometimes. I was looking up from my couch and was (if you can call it that) inspired to take this shot. I find it rather symbolic of much of my past 10 months.
Not much for me to say really, just thought I should put something up since it’s been a while.
Hope people find the shot aesthetically pleasing.

Couple of shots with the Sigma Macro…
by RadMan on Nov.24, 2009, under Picture
… thought I would tool around a little with our Sigma Macro Lens (allowing me to get closer than usual). Just a couple of fun shots.
The one thing I WAS working on though was using the rear LCD screen’s “Live View” feature to try to do a far more precise job of focusing on the exact point I desired. Often, critical focus work requires a manual touch the AUTO just can’t compete with. Unfortunately, wearing glasses and having just generally poor eyesight, I have found that I have great difficulty through the optical viewfinder determining where the exact point of focus is.
SO… little effort and I feel I’ve managed to nail where the points of focus are:
The first are a couple of (seemingly) wooden statues that we have with a Thanksgiving theme. We got them at HomeSense (O_O – ya, I know…) of all places. We thought they were kind of neat as a table decoration.
The second is a collectible Disney statue which consists of a new Mickey looking at himself in a mirror and seeing the old Mickey. The effect is achieved by having two statues of Mickey (old and new) on opposite sides of a transparent plastic “mirror”. The effect works quite well and the piece is actually quite nice (even for someone that doesn’t have Disney fetish).
