That didn’t go so well for a few reasons.
1) I put the lensbaby on my camera plus
2) the big boy flash
3) I parked in a pay parking lot at Stanley Park but,
4) didn’t pay, so I was looking around for the Vancouver city truck to tow me away.
5) the camera kept telling me to use a different lens but
6) once, I did get the flash to actually work! But
7) I couldn’t make it work again. Then
it dawned on me I should probably not be hanging out in the dark at Stanley Park and
9) I saw the Vancouver City truck so I had to beat him to my car, which
10) I had unknowingly parked in a handicapped zone. Hey. It was dark and
11) I couldn’t see that when I pulled in to the space.
I beat the City of Vancouver truck, so I was okay – no ticket or anything like that. I only got one photo that I had to really enhance to get the images of the totem poles to show up at all. I will be bringing the flash manual with me for some light reading so I can make it work in the manual setting on my camera. I was hoping to get photos that look more like this – bright up front, bokeh in the back. I’ll get to work on that and get back to you.
In other news, I’m going to have to start eating proper breakfast in the mornings. Someone recently pointed out to me that Sumo Wrestlers don’t eat breakfast, either. What? I’m eating the Sumo Wrestler diet? Since Sumo is NOT the look I’m going for, I’d better sort out some kind of breakfast routine STAT. Other ways I eat like a Sumo is – eating my biggest meal before bed, and eating sociable meals, if you count the TV is being sociable. Next thing you know, I’ll be taking naps after eating lunch. This can’t happen.
