This light's predecessor was a constant fixture from my childhood bedroom window, and I always rather liked it.
It was recently upgraded to this LED fixture - while it's quite a bit bigger than the old one, I'm quite pleased they've kept the classic style rather than switch it to a brutalist modern looking thing.
Energy efficiency and progress aside, I do kind of miss the comforting orange sodium glow
Not the best of photos I suppose; I could have done with getting slightly higher (and probably waiting until Bailey's been trimmed), but I think it's quite cute nonetheless.
In any event, chasing a ball and licking me thoroughly was more on his mind than posing for photos, so I didn't get another chance.
A bit of a busy evening tonight helping a friend with some CAD and 3D printing - this one's a 23:53 last ditch effort to capture something half-presentable.
Turns out it's quite tricky to follow the motion of a 3D printer while keeping in focus (ish)!
A few minor points notwithstanding, I'm very pleased with this printer.
Seems an appropriate coda to the day, which was largely spent measuring things, thinking about measuring things, and talking about measuring things.
Not necessarily in that order.
And albeit to rather higher precision than the trusty steel rule can deliver.
It's very rare I use this lens without focus stacking, but today is one of those occasions.
This one's a manually incremented focus stack of 13 shots.
This lens is pretty old, and didn't originally work on digital bodies, but a rather clever person from the Czech Republic came up with a neat little implant chip to upgrade these old Sigma lenses and keep them functional.
Rather pleasing, because it's a good lens.
