Last on the Card – March 2023

Not what you might expect because I am in the process of trying to sell off jewelry I own but almost never wear. I love it and have carefully collected it over many years, but my granddaughter has no interest in it. Saving it for her would be pointless. Right now, getting my teeth repaired and making sure Garry has the right hearing apparatus is more important than whatever sentiment I feel to my jewelry.

For the past few days, I’ve been taking photographs of jewelry. This has turned out to be a lot more complicated than it sounds. I have had to shoot under lights because it has been raining off and on and in any case, I’m pretty sure sunshine would make the process even more difficult assuming we got enough for me to actually take the pictures. All of the jewelry pictures are unprocessed. That is one of the few good things about shooting under lights: you get what you lit. Other than reducing the size of the photographs, they are the way they came off the chip. I didn’t even bother to sign them since these were intended as displays, not art.

There are pictures of Garry during his last podcast. This was the last one taken on my Pen F with the 12-200 mm lens open wide.

And finally, the last photo of the daisy on my kitchen counter.

Even if I had decided to process the daisy, it’s still going to be a soft photo. I’m working with a new lens that sometimes focuses very close — and sometimes decides not to focus — and I have no idea why. It’s amazing when it works and weird when it doesn’t.

And that’s it for this month. Not the usual birds and flowers.
