That blizzard happened a few years before I was born but it imprinted itself on everyone’s psyche here in the Midwest. They still talk about it like it just happened, and they still prep for every storm like it’s gonna be that blizzard. Some weather events leave a very long mental scar.
Are we talking the Blizzard of '96? We had that here in NJ, I remember no school for 2 whole weeks.
@Krissi Carbone I struggle taking macro/micro shots myself, I have a slight tremor so my hands always shake a little.
I have bad case of the trembly hands, you can ask anyone that knows me here. Been a challenge finding a place to rest my hand while getting thr shots. Some days, my anxiety is bad and I have definitely had my share of less than stellar macros because of it
I can’t even use a loupe because of it unfortunately. What I wound up doing was buying a set of lenses that attach to my phone, but what truly helped was the tripod it came with. I suggest trying a tripod or a makeshift version of one. It allows you to get right on top of whatever you’re photographing, and if you don’t misplace your remote control like I did you can click the button to snap a picture without even touching your phone.
I have a tripod coming with the same function! My scope though, idk thst connects to wifi on my phone and shoots off Bluetooth so if I can get that linked with the tripod, that would be coo but I doubt it. I have a handheld digital scope, got off the Zon, I love it. Just need to remember to clean the stick off of it before shooting. Rob told me a hint too, when taking pics to avoid the shake and blur more, breathe out when you click to shoot. It worms, surprisingly enough
Beautiful pictures Krissi and that’s what the Holidays are all about.
it is isnt it!
Running around getting all the Holiday spirit they can stomach. At least you don’t dispise your In-laws like I did. CL
They're OK. My MIL God help her is a scatterbrained blonde. She even used a thin point Sharpie once thinking it was eye liner...oh yea...that bad...
Oh man my heart
goes out to you, what I really used to love was being trapped @ the dining room table and having Aunts,Uncles,Cousins and of course her parents all telling me what a piece of
I was. Great memories. Lmao

I just let them drink and get there blazed. Within an hour they are all trashed blitzed drunk and are pretty tolerable. At my son's birthday, they were even lit enough to talk about the one time my FIL accidentally ate an edible and landed himself in thr hospital thinking he was dying. Lmao
Love the Macro shots, wish I could get even half as good
Thank you, I'm trying really hard to be better at them!!
Most of the adults in my life were the same, and they wondered why I couldn’t just respect my elders.. I would respect you if you didn’t spend my entire life telling me how much of a piece of shit I am, and constantly try to use the government to force your beliefs on me.
Drives me crazy.
My mother doesn’t even acknowledge my existence to others any more I’m such a disappointment even though I’m the only kid that left home and has made something of themselves.
My mother at 19 told me rehab or get out of the house. I lived in my car one summer. All I could think was Bob Saget in Half Baked, "did you ever suck dick for weed"...now she has a medical card and smoked sometimes and takes edible gummies regularly. Those gummies got her off the Xanax and vodka now it's just weed and vodka...her and I have had a rough relationship over the years, just building it up now. She is like go weed now, super promoter. My dad still doesn't like the smell and won't try it, not even once, but he's curious.
Happy holidays!!
Life is much much better without all that toxicity in it.
100% my brother. Thanks for sharing your familial struggles with me. Makes things seem more in place
Right? I can’t even use a loupe effectively and shes got commercial grade images
It's taken a lot of trial and error!
They say time heals all wounds but I don’t know about that I think the older we get we see what’s really important and peoples options of us aren’t. CL
It does not heal all wounds. You just mature and evolve enough to not focus on the past and are able to be mindful and present in the moment.
Yeah and she’s not even using a IPhone. Love my IPhone
. CL
Screw iPhone, this A71 is the best phone for camera use. Although, I hear the nee Google Pixel is awesome...
Wow.. that’s impressive.. I’ve never been able to match an iPhones camera. It’s part of why I don’t go back to android.. That and I really like iMessage lol.
If u have a Droid friend, we can communicate the same as imessages just can't love or emphasize a comment-which is silly anyway, I think
It took me a minute to get used to a IPhone but now I’ll never go back to android. CL
And here you are and here you will be complaining about not being able to get nice macro shots
they hurt. And in Fl. ya plan when to go out and stay in the A.C. I like being tan yearlong and not being cold. Bloodline huh? I’ll check it out. Thanks Jersey friend. CL
