The day got off with me doing all the medical stuff that had do and the main two things changing the stoma bag and the leg bag, once all that was done, I was free to have some breakfast.
Then I had to do a few boring things like change the bedding on my bed and put the dirty bedding in the washing machine, plus few other household chores before setting up the cameras for afternoon shoot in the garden.
Yes did take a bit time deciding which macro lens to use with each camera body but when got four camera bodies to choose from and each camera body does have own charactistic it does a bit of time teaming it up with right macro len. So end up with 50m macro len on Pentax K-70, the Laowa 60mm macro len on the other Pentax K-70 body that I own, the new Lowa 100 mm macro len on the Pentax K-1 ii body and Irex 150mm macro len on the Pentax K-3 iii body. The two Laowa lens can focus down to twice life size (2:1) where the two other lens can only focus down to life size (1:1). The other thing you have to thing about is the working distance between the camera and lens to subject that wish to take photo of, the longer lens give you more crop image of the subject where shorter lens give you bigger image area to work with but you have to a bit closer to subject. Once finish teaming up the camera body with lens and then had to decide which tripod I was going to use with each camera body and lens. Smaller tripods are useful for getting the camera and lens to subjects near ground level where the larger tripods are useful getting camera and lens to subjects above ground level.
Well it took good hour of messing around until I satisfied with each camera setup.
After late lunch I spend enjoyable afternoon playing with cameras in the back garden, I had stop twice for the man from Tesco delivering the food that order online and man from Amazon delivering a power pack and bracket which needed for lens that order which was coming later next week from Hong Kong of all places and talk more about it after its been deliver. Anyway I hope you enjoy looking at best of the photos that I took in the photo gallery.
The rest of the day taken up with putting together two web pages and publishing them and watching some TV.
