finally got around to photographing the bouquet I gave my gf last week ^-^

a macro photograph of a flower. it's abstract and strange, and mostly orange.

a macro photograph of a red rose speckled with water droplets.

a macro photograph of tiny leaves surrounded by blurred flowers.

a macro photograph of a flower against a background of other flowers. it looks somewhat alien.

my latest bouquet is at the very end of its usable life, with mold beginning to emerge around the middle of the flowers' stems. I'll throw it away quite soon, but around this point is when flowers get really interesting, full of texture and crumbling grandeur that fresh flowers don't quite match

I sure do! I have a *lot* of books (and more boxes downstairs that I still need to unpack). Here's a better view: (it's very disorganized. everything is a process)

I'm a completely normal woman. I'm utterly unremarkable. There's nothing odd or non-normative about my bed.

A photograph of the head of a bed, the wall behind it, and the side of the bookshelf next to it. Three collars and a dog training clicker are hanging from the bookshelf, and there are three prints on the wall. In order they are: a Godiva Ghoul print of a naked woman being doted on by corpses; a Deceased Bunny print of two creatures, one of whom is heavily drugged; and a Vickisigh print of the moon pouring into a woman's eyes.

My girlfriend's pet jumping spider, Viola <3 She suggested getting a photo through one of her enclosure's airholes, and it turned out pretty well!

Imagine the smallest jumping spider ever and also some weird ants

In this case, the only thing I did in DxO was bump the microcontrast and apply a film emulation (generic fuji astia 100) to deepen the colors without changing the image's overall feel.

Incidentally, since no one asked how I get images like this— It's pretty tedious. I use OM Capture + Automator to take a bunch of photos with very small differences in focus (the smallest step my camera's lens supports, I think), process them in DxO Photolab, and stack them in Helicon Focus.
