My pathetic attempt at an NOTD. 😛 I know I don’t have the prettiest digits (what an understatement!) but what the hell, right? This is my blog anyway and I could say or post whatever I damn like. Defensive much? 😛
I don’t usually color my fingernails, just my toenails. But on a whim, and to let my toenails breathe too, I decided to forego color on my peds and opted to color my digits instead. I’ve had this nail polish for more than a week now, and I love its cheery color despite the fact that it doesn’t look all that good against my skin tone. Oh well.
Anywho, I had a hell of a time getting a decent shot with my manual-focus-only camera. 😐 To focus, instead of adjusting the focusing ring, I had to move my left hand (the subject) nearer or farther from the lens. Since, you know, I only have two hands and the right is holding the camera. 😛 But in the end, I’m glad I got at least a coupla decently sharp shots.
It’s difficult to take nail pictures for me too!
I don’t think I’ve taken the best picture yet. And… I only use an ordinary non-HD digicam.
I just put it on a mini tripod. Manual macro. Then I’m good to go.
It shouldn’t have been so hard if my camera’s Auto-Focus is working. 😐 Even a regular point-and-shoot with a macro mode would have done the job quicker. But alas, I love my SLR (even if it’s already malfunctioning) too much to use another camera! 😉
Oh, and posing the fingers and the nail polish bottle was more work than I anticipated too. 😛
Tama! Mas, mag-kaka-carpal tunnel syndrome pa ako sa paghawak ng nail polish bottle kesa sa pagtype sa laptop.
Gives me a whole new respect for those who regularly swatch and post nail polish colors. Hirap nga pala yun! 😀
