Description
All right I have to have a laugh now and again, this is something I set up for another photography site(name of it isn't worth bothering about). As you can see from the tags, the most important piece of equipment is just out of shot, but it was full I do assure you.
Now you can all see what I have to do to get the best that I can. The rack is ideal as all you do is move the lens up and down to obtain optimum focus and enlargement. The subject matter in this shot is a sample that was left me when I was working in 'Environmental Management', Big words for dustbin men. I was in charge of 55 of them and one of the duties was to order new bins, hence the sample. I have a Blue one, a Red one, and a green one with a purple lid, they make handy pen & pencil caddies.
I have had my smile for today, that is until I see some of your comments later. I will post the genuine article tomorrow, for those that are interested, I know one of you has already ordered one and is awaiting delivery.
Thanks for stopping by for a look, I hope it has given you a smile for today, thanks also for any comments you care to make, I don't mind being swore at, in a gentle manner that is.
May the sun shine down on you, where ever you are.
