Study

I took another quick shot today. I thought about it late on my way home and decided to take a shot about studying. Here is the trial. I shot with 135mm and 100mm and chose this one with pentax-m 100mm. 135mm is a bit too long and I had a bit better composition with this one. I did not tweak the white balance all the way to the "correct" one. The orange tone of the table lamp gives a bit feeling of it. I almost changed it to BW, but likes this wrong WB and decided to keep it color.

Pentax-M 100/4 Macro F4.

Teaching

The camera was in office but I am still busy today and do not want to take a walk around. So I am looking in the office and noticed this chalk root. That is good quick way for today's shot, I thought. I shot with 100/4 macro at 1:2. I used it a lot when I am holding the office hour. Nice topic for my teaching.

I also tried some shots with flash and f16-f20. But these shallow depth-of-field shots with ambient light look more interesting to me.

I like this white-balance wrong version. It gives me some feeling.


This is the one in flurosent light set. It gives out a little red tint for the background, which is also nice. Which one do you like?
