Reversive(c).

I am blogging to cure the fever. Well, I'm actually just stuck waiting for my sister to come home with the flu pills she took with her to work. I need them. I'm getting a tad ill, O.o... This all seems funny to me, as I predicted something of this sort would occur.

You see, I have had a most exuberant weekend because a few things, namely: Shooting for Rifflandia and assisting on an engagement shoot, meeting some extraordinary personalities and doing so many things that my sleeping pattern is now disrupted. As for Rifflandia, I will do a detailed post on the subject as I enjoyed it tonnes, BUT, I do not yet have a copy of Adobe's, "Lightroom 3." So I don't want to upload some pictures before they have been sorted, scrutinized and edited. Oh, back to my "Seeingness," I saw a downturn in all of this, as this is the nature of the universe. You can never be so high without a little low. We'll see how this flu develops.

Coming to you from this fever of mine is something of reversive (c), inversive and subversive nature. Let me elaborate.

Reversive: Osawa f/4.5 80-200mm lens. (at 80mm wide open) I held this lens towards the lens attached to my Canon 50D - in a reversive manner, of course.

Inversive: Inverse to the Osawa was my Canon 50mm f/1.4 (at 50mm ((DUH)) wide open).

Subversive: (I'll get to that later).

So maybe it's the fever - or sleep deprivation, or an amalgamation of various other factors including the before said contributors - but I found this really interesting. Although not super-sharp, and under sub-par light, this is a picture I took:

I like what the Osawa lens has done to this, vignetting wise, and MACRO wise. I could get in even closer with my Vivitar 28-90mm f2.8-3.5, but I don't feel like posting something that cool just yet. I want to get some better lighting and a little more structure to the shot. As this picture was shot, I was holding the lenses together with one hand, the other on the shutter, and moving the camera body towards and away from the subject - talk about manual focusing. For lighting, my iPod was on the flashlight app balancing with one end jabbed between the two last rows of keys on the keyboard, and a polaroid picture acting as a flimsy "pillar" holding up the iPod and angling it towards the fn key.

This was a fun shot.
