Ice and the various forms it can take is quite fascinating as these images clearly show. Well captured.

Being locked up for so long I needed a new diversion so I bought a really beaten up Meyer Optik Primotar 1:3.5, 135mm.
I tend to think that if something is that beaten up it must have seen a lot of use - and therefore it is likely to be a good 'un.
So far, I haven't been disappointed. The glass is very good and it all works properly.

1. Who needs a trioplan when you've got one of these?



2. You can have big bold bubbles or you can have restrained bubbles like these.



3. Or no bubbles at all, (this one looks best with a completely black background).



4. Finally, I decided to blow up a tangerine in the kitchen. I ate it when it came back down.



(No, it isn't suspended in any way shape or form !)

This is a straight reaction to looking at the images: they appear to have the most amazing textures - almost every grain of sand and tiniest bit of moss. I would expect pixel shift to produce this - detail to the 'n'th degree! However, is all that microscopic detail actually swamping the major detail of the entire gravestones? It's like looking closely at a pointillist painting. All you see is dots, until you step way back. Have you any non-pixelshift images to compare them with? Of course, I could be talking complete rubbish. It wouldn't be the first time!

The black backdrop is just perfect for these. Never seen or heard of them before - impressive.

How do you connect the dog's usb to the computer?

If I were voting for one it would be the illuminated bridge for its composition and the fascinating shapes but since it isn't a vote I'll applaud the whole lot !

Never cease to be impressed with these. 1st ice is beautiful.

If it's anything like mine, the Miranda 24mm is surprisingly good.

Ours sits in the front porch. It's a real one that has had successively bigger pots so that now, when we return it to the back garden we have to heave it onto a heavy duty four wheeled trolley (used for for moving pianos).

Surprising what a slightly different composition can do. The first was "H'mm, what's that about?" and the second, "Hey that's interesting!" The tree on the hillside is quite spectacular too.
