Recovering from surgery

NikonsandVstroms

Well not much of one usually, but since my wisdom teeth were so impacted along with my other medical issues this is on the far worse end. Basically I haven't been able to do anything for 4 days, but I just couldn't deal with this cabin fever so it was time to take the Fuji around the yard and see what I could find. It might not have been the smartest thing to do since my body as a whole is beat and I can feel it now but having been productive is always a great psychological feeling:










I am not sure on which composition I like better here:

Wizzies came out --- ouch! I remember when I had mine out. It isn't fun at all so I feel your pain.

Nice photos from around the yard. I really like the 3rd one. I don't know if the leaf is falling or actually has landed on the green leaves. Makes me look...

As for the composition of the last two First thought the 1st one was better because the equal lines on each side of the last photo was throwing me off some, but then I changed my mind. If I look at the focal point of the light fixture -- the lines on it works well with all the lines of the wood. So....I pick the 2nd one

Did I confuse ya

Sounds like your mind jumped around like mine between them I think giving it some time and looking back is my best option for those 2.

And another day and possibly another surgery oh the fun (sinus complications) but for now I am jumping back into work. I did some which I am posting below just now, and debating going out to have some more fun with the leaves and my 50mm macro on the Olympus, always a good time.

I wasn't too clear was I

Whatever those are photos of -- its neat

I am finally catching up on my processing at least I got that new flower in the macro center and this photo:



Both from my trip to VA

And then this one from a local pond:

Thanks I am going to try a shoot tomorrow (just with a friend so if I am too out of it there is no pressure for results) and hopefully I can hold up and get some more good shots.

I am on too many pain pills right now and last night thought I would play with the 35mm macro some more:



But today I felt like just going around the house with my old 50mm on the Nikon and seeing how I do with it since I haven't shot with just a 50 for a long time.

Your taking some pretty good photos for a medicated person

I enjoyed looking at your photos -- you have some pretty good ones in your set posted. Hope your feeling better

Thanks, I am doing better now and on lesser pain medication which feels great.

The big thing now is Tuesday when I find out if I need another operation (they messed up a bit) and another recovery but as long as I am being productive it isn't too bad.

Looks like I basically have a waiting game now for 30 days and hopefully it gets all better. But back to photos I did a bunch yesterday and here are the first few to be processed:



Not sure on color or B&W for this one:

Dogdots

Looks like you had a successful day out shooting. As for the color or bw one...bw one

A bug -- butterfly?

You turned the one after the butterfly didn't you? Is it a board with leaves sitting in the water?

Your last photo And the one with all the things hanging up...I like how you took that one.

Yep -- successful you were

NikonsandVstroms

Nope the bug was this guy:







And some more from that day:
(I am doing B&W versions for myself but they liked the color so the first round was for them)












And today it was the first real amount of snow so from my window:





On the recovery front I will need 2 more operations thanks the the sinus complication, so another month or 2 of being out of it. So this thread might get pretty big.
