*a choir of angels sing*

I. Have. A. New. Camera.
Seriously, I'm having a heart attack over it because it's so amazing. Look at these pictures I took in natural light at 6pm when in Chicago it's already twilight and but yeah look.
 Took these late because I spent the day with the manual but when I actually turned the thing on and started fiddling, it was almost easy. And I'll never touch the settings again.

While I did need to brighten because, as I said, there's no light in this city, the detail is still crisp and resplendent. No need to sharpen! Leading to those bits of crunchy reflection I then have to blur out.

I took these too large and it took a while to download and edit because of all the info in large photos. Remember bitches, you only need small size photos for the internet. Large photo sizes are for, like, printing posters. And small ones makes everything you do with them much faster.

Now I for sure need to re-paint my awful mannequin though... You guys. I'm so happy and relieved. I didn't alter those colors either. Honestly I can't calm myself down! (I should mention its a Panasonic LX7 Lumix. I looked on line for 'best macro camera'. It was like $380.)
Also! I didn't make the focal people. I added the bottom danglies. But if you'd read the last post, you'd know this. The focal was made by the original necklace maker...
Oh, should I pick a giveaway winner? Hold on lemme do that. Ok, MARTINISFOR2, for the simple reason that I think you've entered in a bunch of my giveaways and never won a thing. So it's all you babee. I know you're supposed to do these things random, but I'm a rebel.
With a killer camera!!!!
