This is a reflection of myself taking the photo. It is an Xmas ball. There is a slight bit of camera shake on this due to the fact that the light was so low. This series is just to say " there are things all around that make for interesting Photographs. Why not take some yourself??? Nikon CoolPix 880. Macro Mode. Comments and critique welcome. Colm...

yeah and this is after he FELL on the ICE again last night!

Well I love it...I like how my eye goes directly to the camera and sorry, but you are the afterthought....Though I think that is the primary reason you did it...Hey, I been reading them links you sent me..can you tell?

eheh, Cool pic mate!

Yep, this is damn beautiful, kind of drunk self portrait. I got my new toy, Sony cyber-shot P1, so hopefully I'm gonna start getting these everyday things too.

Colm, you carried out the experience that some years ago was suggested to avoid the purchase of a fish eye (lens of a lot of price for a camera of 35 mm), to avoid the movement perhaps for the scarce of the light he would have to have used a tripod, and solved the problem.

Rodolfo, One of the things I find difficult to handle with such a small camera is shake....I have wasted more pictures due to shake than anything... Any suggestions besides tripod? I heard you should use your body like one. (Mine is then a very LARGE tripod)! Syyd

I'd be lost without a tripod..

Good Syyd, I suggested the tripod to be the accessory but common, but there are other forms of replacing it, I eat for example to lean on against the mark of a door, to support the camera on the back of a seat or sofa, etc. But I will suggest to be manufactured a tripod with single two elements that are within reach of anyone, two elements, a line piece, and a screw they are needed that coils perfectly in the camera, to be possible of aluminum, in an end of the rope a knot is made that has a diameter a little but big that the size of our foot, of the other end gets tied up to the screw and east coils in the camera, it is stepped inside the knot and it is thrown up, the camera won't almost have movement, we support the elbows on the lateral of the chest, the long of the line should be from our I tweeted until the height of the eyes. The picture for what I see futaken with a digital camera, never had one in my hands, but I believe that he/she should have different sensibilities, when they take pictures with scarce light it is advisable to use the sensibility but high, this is made to be able to work with speeds but high, let us don't confuse sensibility with the quantity of pixels that takes the picture since this is definition and it is separated another topic.
