I was trying for a close-up for stone, but so far I'm mostly learning how weak my camera is for macro shots, or how bad I am at using it for them. It takes a lot of finesse so far to make it take one.

But I have a dreams one I like.

My husband and I are not house-hunting with great fervor, but are idly looking. I recently saw a house (a foreclosure) online which looked very good - and underpriced. "I have got to see that," I told my husband. "I want to know what's wrong with it!"

...I found out. Oh my did I find out. Yes, this explains a little:

What the ad didn't show....

I especially like the door into open air where the second-floor balcony used to be. They've tied a single length of caution tape over it on the inside.

Actually taken during the aperture, but as usual I ran late getting them processed.

One shot of water from a fountain - I'm actually very pleased with how it came out, I'd just had my eyes dilated at an eye exam and wasn't seeing very well what I was working with even with the sunglasses. Below the cut, I included a photo I took a long time ago but that I'm very proud of that I think meets both water and light.

My apologies. As usual, I got photos edited after the end of the aperture. A couple animal photos - and a couple light photos, still topical! :)

Past/present/future light (playing with the word light, yes):
Past light, present light, future light

Very decidedly 'roads' rather than other paths. I tried a few creative interpretations (a set of stairs; pipes, as a path for water), but wasn't pleased with the resulting photos. I'm not so sure about the third of the bunch I'm posting, come to that. The first two I think are decent.

Communication and roads:

I do wish they'd finish that last one, as it's no fun driving it. :P Meanwhile, the 'reflections and glass' aperture, though closed, continues to inspire me. Two more photos resulting from it are here and here. I think they outperform anything I've done for the current aperture, honestly, though the second of the two is grainier than I'd like.

Three photos for reflections and glass.

Also, I found one picture I missed during lines and patterns (took then, didn't process) - if you're curious it's here (and probably as good as or better than any that I uploaded). Also, of the ones I uploaded for that aperture, I finally figured out what the spiral was. Not from the server room...one row in a candy vending machine, all sold out.
