I was playing with my daughter's kaleidoscope and decided to take the lense out and play with it in my camera. Some of the images came out really neat. Thought I would share some with you. Tell me what you think..I know some of these are out of focus...I am going to keep playing around with it and see what I can do Leigh

These are cool - a little bit like (but quite a bit better) than one I posted ages ago using a toy won in a xmas cracker which had a little eyepiece and a fragmented lens - I just took one of a lightbulb, coz it was a bit iffy and the pictures of other things all came out dark! Definately like yours more!!

What a great idea no kidding! I love kaleidoscopes, I can sit for hours in the Science store and monkey with them, but this is a fantastic idea. Leigh you are an inspiration girl!

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments...I really have missed playing with my camera. Hoping that things are finally settling down a bit so I can play some more. Leigh

So cool. I wanted to try this a long time ago and it wound up slipping my mind. The first and second to last are my favorite. Bsteph
