The Thursday Challenge photo from last week was of a junk-jewelry necklace belonging to my daughter that seems to have found a “home” in the cup holder near the driver’s seat of my car. I looked at my camera settings for the two photos, and the only difference seems to be shutter speed, 1/40 for the experimental and 1/50 for the boring, shows you exactly what it is photo.
Who’d have guessed the beads would look so pretty in the cup holder?
You sneaky little thing you. I was sure it had something to do with lights.
Great job Leora.
i love the shot. great job.
kung hei fat choi. (happy new year in chinese)
Mystery solved!

Chodesh tov.
Mrs. S, and a Happy New Moon to you, too! I’m hoping to write about the symbol of the moon in Judaism this week. It’s in the parsha…
I thought they were some sort of berry; fun to stop and ponder what they were.
Funny; I would never have guessed theses dots were beads.
also fits the ruby tuesday theme so well.
I never would’ve gotten it. Not if I’d guessed for a year.
Shutter speed was the only exposure setting that was different… but what about focal length?
Mojo, I keep looking at the camera data, and for both it says focal length is 19.6. (Reading camera data is a bit like reading Russian to me; I actually took a little Russian, but rarely understand what I am reading. If I said it were like reading Greek or Chinese, I would be lying, because I know a little more about camera data than that).
I suppose I was probably holding the camera a bit closer to the subject in the experimental one. I’ll have to try taking a similar photo again, to see if I can mimic this or get something similar.
I wouldn’t have been able to guess that.
but now I can see why it would cause the reflections.
