Question for all you photography people. Do you have any suggestions for using macro mode on small objects? By small I mean an inch tall or so. I have all these gee whiz cool minis that I'd like to photograph and seem to be a klutz when it comes to make the objects look clear. Because of the size of these critters, the view finder is not being awfully helpful.
Tom and I were supposed to get over to the college today, but neither of us is feeling too great. I hate when my body goes into what can best be described as flush mode and that's enough said on that!
I'm working on my mini cabinet today. Emptying it has allowed me to shift everything along that one wall to the left and into the corner. I need to find a home for a few things that are still in limbo. Things like zipper bags that can be used for blankets... oh, duh! Linen closet! The smaller ones can be used to store projects in progress, I think we have a winner! Edit: Scratch that idea. Two of the large bags were broken, so, one ended up in recycling and the other now has a home covering my Rocky Giraffe (scroll frame holder).
I have one load of laundry in the washer and one in the dryer.
It's 5 PM and I forgot what sanity is! What I do know is that I have some lovely rib eyes and garlic potatoes to fix for dinner.
6 PM
Shifted the line of stuff against the wall. I keep saying that once the folding table is moved things will look less crowded. Things are looking up out there except for the box corner. Not much I can do with that at the moment, but it will deplete a bit as I have Mother's Day gifts among other things to mail. I took the plastic bags, that I keep meaning to drop off for recycling, out to the car so I don't forget them again.
Let's see:
Need to find homes for or trash the stuff still on and under the folding table.
Need to clean out the short set of plastic drawers and move it into place.
Need to clean off the standing table. Not much to be done under it, that's where the lawn mower hides.
Need to put the new ladder up in the wall hooks and find a home for the old one (or dump it.).
Need to find places for the carpet steamer, weed whacker, and lawn edger.
(6:17) Back to work, need to start dinner soon!
8:25 PM
Dishes all done, more laundry running.. gads, does it never end??? 4 leggers are fed and, be afraid, my son's room is picked up!! ::knocks wood that it stays that way::
The contents of my mini cabinet is filling 3/4 of my sofa. The other 1/4 is going to be used for some photography practice. If I can get this guy to come out looking this well, there has to be a way to be a way to make the others look good, too! The figure was painted by Tom.
