project: griffin's camera // day 1







Aren't the colors just...awesome? I wondered how I could capture fall in a more original way; the colors weren't a gorgeous when sharply in focus. But I absolutely love this array of lovely colors. One day I'm going to try to paint something like that.

Although I've been brought up around cameras, the only camera that I've been comfortable using is Mom's Fuji Finepix 6mp point-and-shoot. I've used Sara's cameras a lot, but not consistently enough to grasp a smooth operation skill. So, my very lovely brother, Griffin, offered to let me borrow his Canon Rebel XT (thanks so muchhhh). Today I decided to experiment with it and see what wonders I could create with an 18-55 mm, 3.5-5.6 lens, a wide-angle attachment, and a macro filter.

Here is the excessive collection of what I came up with. ^.^


This was really fun. When we realized that the macro and wide-angle attachments could come apart (they were meant to be used as one attachment), we were just using our eyes to look around and found that this created a fun picture. Like a magnifying glass (which is what a macro filter is), the macro attachment makes people turn upside down if you stand far enough away. So in this pic, I'm holding the macro, he's holding the wide-angle. :)


Vice versa. I did find it entertaining that it looks as though his thumb morphs into a second hand.


Pretty sunspots.


Somehow, dandelion puffs never bore me.


A wishie maker!


This is Little Chick. She's an odd duck. Chicken. Thing.




Isn't that pretty?
