I dont personally like eating pears/avocado but I do have a faint memory of liking it with a bun at a single point in time.

Playing Ludo and Dominos

I play more Ludo now than I have ever played in my life. But the game itself takes too long to finish.
The filter life
written by owen, published 2021-Apr-02, comment
I have never been a fan of filters. Even with their popularity on social media and television. Creating a fake but appealing view of reality is not my bag of chips. I do see the appeal which is why I have gone down a rabbit hole of high contrast black and white. But I have been experimenting with the possibilites. I do come back to reality and shoot in colour from time to time.

It seems the new normal is to put up a christmas tree early like late November.
Double exposure
written by owen, published 2020-Dec-19, comment
To switch things up a bit here are some double exposures I took at various points. I discovered this feature on the camera one day during lunch. It basically allows you to take 2 or more pictures and combine them into one final picture using a additive/subtractive blend mode. As if you have a film camera and you reshoot picture over pictures you already took. It is really useful in select situations which I am still discovering.
Clouds are one of those situations mostly because the flat blue sky makes for easy blending. You want to have a clear day with nice big clouds
Merging faces works well in black and white. Not so easy in colour as you will see below.
Shadows are also doable but harder because of course colours. I will kick my black and white spiral evenutally.
I think is 2 or 3 pictures in colour which you can see kinda works but kinda not.
Using parking lines to create impossible pictures is also easy to pull off with this feature.
