Depression and Boredom

I suffer from PTSD related depression that often rears its head during points of boredom. As such, I try to keep myself as busy as possible. It doesn’t have to be physical activity, but anything that keeps my mind busy. That means winter can be when I’m at my darkest due to the weather, as my mobility is shunted due to physical disability and limited opportunity to do the things I love most. It’s rained just about every weekend since December, and the 1 or 2 dry weekends were tarnished with a week’s worth of rain or snow. Unless there’s a specific need, I’d prefer to not camp in the rain or snow.

After seeing Jay’s macro product shots, I decided to do some floral macros, since I have an arrangement of gerber daisies that’s survived since Valentine’s Day.

I didn’t break out any lighting, shooting at ISO 4000-6400 and 1/100s shutter speed with a Sigma 50mm ƒ/1.4 DG Art on the GFX 50S. Figured I’d try and adapt my muscle memory for a focusing ring that rotates opposite of all other brands.

Anyways, I really need to get outdoors. Hopefully the weather this weekend works out.
