Macro images of Shelly 005 taken on 03/03/2025
On the bright side, I have figured out a way to mimic the look of a lightbox with my iPad by just pulling up a screen-sized white image and setting the display refresh to Never.
It makes Shelly's color pop sooo much more and the contrast between herself and the background is eons from where it was last time. I also am starting to get the hang of the photography I'm trying to do; it's really frustrating at times but when it looks good it looks exactly how I want it to.
I also talked to a photographer friend of mine whose artistic opinion I really trust and we both agreed that there is actually something special about the photos with the black frame. It was totally an accident that came from 3D printing the wrong mod for my camera, and at first I was worried that it would look like a mistake, but now it totally looks more like you are seeing her underneath a microscope and I think it's more dynamic and engaging than the rectangular framing.
