Thru the lens...and the lens...

In essence I'm a winter person. I prefer wearing more clothes than less, I enjoy wrapping up in coats and scarves and warm socks and boots. I can sit indoors all day watching tv or reading on a cold dark rainy Sunday without feeling guilty about not being outdoors 'making the most of the good weather'! But on the other hand........ leaving the house is harder in the morning and when I get home with the kids in the evening it's already getting dark and sometimes the days and weeks can slide by without a decent opportunity for a photograph.......even joining in with HS:MS:HS becomes more and more difficult and so far this week I've failed to muster up any inspiration for the words so far.

So, in desperation I've taken to experimenting instead. I picked up this idea on another blog recently and bored tonight I decided to give it a go....I've taken this through the eyepiece of my other camera but I only have two lenses which fit on both cameras (one is an old 35mm slr) and one of those is a wide angle lens so it's kind of weird - I think it looks like it's been taken with some sort of spy camera - not a very sophisticated one obviously!

Before I go and settle down for another evening of tv ..... quick note to self:

Next time you have a mad idea, like taking your 9yr old son to Toys R Us on a training day.....DON'T let him buy any shooting toys - particularly not in a pair!

Oh yes, my kitchen has become a combat zone and crossing it is a dangerous affair!
