Picture post with 'new' camera
When Thomas the Metropolitan took my new resumé pictures (a special German thing, as you have to include a picture of yourself when you send your CV to potential employers), I showed him the picture of the Light Boat Festival and deplored that my camera and my little multipurpose computer (AKA smartphone) both can't capture nearly as much light as the human eye.
So he decided to lend me one of his older Pentaxes. Apparently, he has several. He added a simple multipurpose lens of the kind that come with the camera, and brought it over last Saturday.
Here are some of my first efforts.
Here, you see my Christmas decorations, little lighted icicles nestling among the dry leaves of the clematis. Oh, you don't?
Do you now?
This LED star has a special foil that makes the LEDs inside look like tiny ephemeral stars themselves.
In the dark, you see it even better.
Meet Mephisto! Now with fluffy fur, a face, a cute little black nose and a slightly bewildered expression, rather than a black blob in the landscape.
Lucifer, you know. He still handsome when I take his picture with this camera.
The difficulty lies in taking pictures of them both -- Lucifer tends to be overexposed, and Mephisto regresses to black blob state, despite the fancy camera.
This one is a bit better.
The shadow of triangular ears at night, the reason why I originally decided to get a cat. Now even on a photograph as I need no flash with this.
Mephisto sits on the TV, presumably worshipping UFOs.-
