Seasonal Affective Disorder

[aliengrove]

My Mum used to suffer quite badly from SAD, or the winter blues. She bought a lamp, which she swore by, and when she died a few years ago we inherited it. It does actually seem to perk us up on those dark winter days.

As the SAD lamp is supposed to mimic sunlight, yesterday I tried it out as a light source. It works very well for that too! So here's a couple of shots dedicated to my wonderful late Mum.

Both taken with the A7rii and Sony 90mm macro. Background is my laptop screen.

Works well for me, good shooting Jon.

Yep - works for me too!

The first shot looks very much like daylight from a window
