Or at least, we will be in less than 24 hours. Indeed, this one almost snuck up on me, since I wasn’t aware of how fast the month was passing. I had the beginning of March pegged for removing some of the plants from the greenhouse, and that’s tomorrow. Sheesh<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We also know what that means, so let’s see what we’ve accomplished on the abstract front, shall we?<\/p>\n

\"curious
I shot this one for a specific purpose, which has not yet come to pass, so we’ll leave the explanation until then – in fact, it will become clear then, so I won’t even have to explain it. So if the mystery is digging at you, well, you’ll just have to cope.<\/p>\n

But then, we have two shot specifically for the end of the month, like, within the past hour, because we needed a better showing than that. This was all experimental photography, meaning I shot 132 frames trying for a decent effect, and will probably keep less than a dozen. Glad I wasn’t trying this on slide film.<\/p>\n

\"strange
I admit, I shamelessly played with the colors on this one, because the original color register wasn’t quite to my liking. I could’ve slammed the contrast way higher too, but let it go – there’s such a thing as too<\/em> abstract.<\/p>\n

No, there probably isn’t at that.<\/p>\n

And one more:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"water
Now, this one is not too<\/em> hard to figure out, if you’re beyond a certain age anyway. But given how many overcast and rainy days we’ve had this month (part of the reason why it’s been pretty damn light on photos and posts here,) we needed some overwhelming color and contrast. Yes, these are all macro images – maybe I’ll change it up in March and see what the most distant thing I can photograph is. I’ve just barely snagged<\/a> M33, the Triangulum galaxy, and at 2.724 million light years distance, it’s even farther than Andromeda. Can I beat that? I’ll have to do some research and see what’s in my field of view for March.<\/p>\n

There still might be a few images sneaking in before the day is out, just to clear some of the folder, but nothing earth-shaking. March should definitely see an uptick though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
