OTSUKARESAMA!! (^=^)

Sat Sep 26, 2009, 6:09 PM
UUHHHHOOOO!!!
I've just finished my FIRST EVER Reverse Lens Technique shoot.

Thanks a lot to `photonig([link]) for holding his contest(which drew my attention to that kind of pictures) and for sending me some links with how to do it. Know this:it IS kinda risky.You can easily scratch youre lens(always use a UV filter to prevent that) or hit the second lens to the setting you're shooting. But if you're carefull and patient(just like any photodude should be:P) it's all ok.Really develops you multitasking:focusing,holding the lens and not daaging it,looking for a good frame,shooting and standing still at the same time.


Started at 3AM and now it's 4:30AM and my camera is burning-hot,right wrist tired and hand all shakey,my palms are sweaty and i still tend to close my left eye and hold my breath:)). By far the most uncomfortable part was holding my breath...and REMEMBERING to breathe again!! Cuz I got so cought to it,trying shot after shot,angle after angle,focus after focus(which was basicaly me getting infimately closer or farther to the subject) that breathing became the major disturber.But hey...guess it's OK to search fo the frame again than faint and fall demolishing all the scene and the precious stuff around you neck..

And then comes right wrist fatigue..guess that gets solved in time if I keep doing marathon shots.Gonna have huge right hand wrist muscles:)).

I'll post later a pic of how the shooting scene looked like after i said "DUDE,300 SHOTS ARE ENOUGH!!" =))
