Nov 4

30 Days of November - "Something that I stresses me out" and Day 3 of My Personal 30 Days in Manual Mode Challenge!

I was going to say that my desk normally doesn't look like this but who am I kidding? It usually doesn't look this bad but it does resemble this most days.

In retrospect, I had the ISO too high...hard to tell on the small LCD monitor...better luck to me next time!

Canon Powershot G11
1/80s f/3.2 at 9.8mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Small point. If you have a lamp in your image turn it on, they otherwise tend to look dead. Try the same shot again with and without to see what I mean. Otherwise, you are doing OK. :)

I am with Janet... you need a bit of mess to be creative!

Yeah, I know what you mean but my desk looks like an atomic bomb hit it! Love the set up. They say a cluttered desk is the sign of productivity and a creative mind. I think you did okay with the ISO...works for me!

Looks fine to me. High ISO won't show much on the reduced size of these PBASE photos as well.

I think you are doing well, experimenting with the manual settings!
great still moment of a day

Great and busy place!

I'd be more stressed having the inlaws over.... :)
Guest 05-Nov-2011 13:19
You cleaned it up on purpose before showing us! :) V

Excellent photo of a good work space.
Maaike Huizer05-Nov-2011 07:48
HaHa. Same here. Although I cleaned it last week.
Dave Hein05-Nov-2011 07:20
Everything here looks perfectly normal to me. :)

Good job and the shot looks good. My desk is messier and I keep saying I have to clean it up but it piles up as fast as I clean it.
Janice Dunn05-Nov-2011 00:02
Mine does look similar at times... and each day I resolve to tidy it up. But the mess just runs back into place...

Don't they all look like this? Pretty red lampshade to brighten up a November day..
Guest 04-Nov-2011 22:44
Looks like mine too, except mine's bigger so there is more junk! Yup, it's stressfull. So are the relatives!
Janet Donnelly04-Nov-2011 22:34
I never trust peoople with an ultra-neat workspace. Yours I can really relate to - don't change a thing!
Sheila04-Nov-2011 22:12
Snap! Looks like mine too. Good idea for the theme!
Karen Stuebing04-Nov-2011 22:06
Yes, the photo looks fine on my monitor. I think a messy desk is an indication of a creative mind. And it's not that bad anyway. Nice work space and photo.

Nice red lamp! Not as piled as my desk. I get stressed, too, When things pile up; just don't have the energy or time to change the situation most days.
laine04-Nov-2011 21:19
At least you can lay your hand on something in a hurry...shot looks good to me and I love that lamp!!
Mairéad04-Nov-2011 21:18
Much neater than my desk!
J. Scott Coile04-Nov-2011 20:28
Well exposed and balanced.
