Oh my gosh. I had the most insane day laboring yesterday on Labor Day. I was planning on popping into work for just a couple hours, but ended up staying for 6. And then I had to be back later in the evening for the infamous Monday night shift. (That would be the 8 o'clock at night until who-knows-what-o-clock in the morning shift.) That's the life of a newspaper. I love it though! Except, it's pretty brutal getting off at 3:15 in the morning, sleeping for 3 hours, & then having to wakey-wakey to help the children get ready for school & then drive them there. Triple "Ugh!".
Tuesdays are not my best days.
Before my napping hour commenced though, I pulled out my camera for some photo fun.
I played around with photojojo's latest happy camera trick, which involves a macro lens.
But, alas! I have no macro lens. (insert sad face...) No problemo! You don't NEED a macro lens to take macro photos. (insert extremely exuberant, animated & chipper face!) The trick actually involves removing my current lens & flipping it over. Everything appears macro-riffic!
I even used some lenses from a 35mm Olympus that my mom recently gave me.
Sweet fun!!!
Here is the extent of the macro power I get on my current camera:
But here is the detail I get when I try the macro flip-trick:
Isn't that the coolest? Here are some other random pics I took:
 |
| My mascara-messy eyelashes after 3 hours of sleep for the night.. |
 |
| Tiny leaf of a sunflower plant. |
 |
| The detail on my machine-stitched WhiMSy love envelopes. |
 |
| Ink pen heart. |
