I was having some fun with taking pictures around the house with my new lens, so I thought I’d share. Besides, this may be the only reasonable way to up my posting on vdov, especially since I don’t think anyone pays attention to my gallery (but I will add the images there, too: shollen.vdov.net …visit sometime).

This first picture is probably my favorite. The trick was careful focus, low ISO, and a wide aperture (2.0). I was also using a tripod.

I just like the composition here. I shouldn’t try to point out flaws, but were I to take this picture again, I would move the miniature cheese grater between the two cups. Besides being fairly useless in general, it just distracts from the picture.

The colors of those tomatoes have absolutely not been adjusted. It’s so neon it’s almost hard on the eyes. Go ahead, stare at it for a minute. The lighting in the kitchen (just before sunset) and the low ISO are probably responsible here. Check out that shine! Finally, that soap is just so pink, isn’t it?

Hope you appreciate this rather mindless content here on vdov.
