Ugly Scene

I saw a pretty ugly wreck on route 93 today. The car was burned to a crisp. Here’s hoping everyone is okay.

Random pics from driving to Home Depot and the gas station that sells all of the lottery winners.

Garage

I took two pics in the hospital garage as I was leaving.

The interesting thing is the big black dot in the lower right quadrantish. I thought that was a dead spot on the LCD screen. Turns out it’s not just on the screen. Uh oh.

View

Dad is sleeping so here is the view from his window.

Patches is really sick of modeling for me.

Squee, Again

Check it out, kids…

That’s my DSLR with one of Dad’s old manual lenses. It connects, the viewfinder sees through the lens. I can’t set the aperture in the camera like I do with my lenses, but I can set the camera to manual focus and set the aperture on the lens and still set the shutter speed in the camera. I can’t use the light meter, but I have one on my iPhone that seems pretty accurate.

Want to see if it works?

Oh yeah, it works!

I tried taking a second picture and came up with this turd…

I promise that this is out of focus because the shutter speed was slow and my hand shook a little, not because I did something wrong with the manual focus… though that would be a good guess based on how many of my film pics are out of focus.

Now I have to work up the courage to try using Dad’s 50mm prime lens. Woah, nelly!
