Really talking about.. photography

Good stuff it could have been.

Christmas tree cataract
The best disease (scrambled egg syndrome)
Zonule of zin

You can tell I take notice of the funny ones that stand out

I just had to google Zonule of Zinn......

Sounds like a mate of Ming the Merciless off of Flash Gordon. :yesnod:

I know I was laughing too

The mrs reckons it makes you look like a vampire walking around in broad daylight. :dry:

A couple of years back I spent some time photographing eyes, I had an album of them. Beautiful things, must dig it out.

I likewise play about with photography, but these days its just for fun, once upon a time however (25-30 years ago) I tried to make my living as a photographer mainly advertising but also portraiture and weddings. These days I just play about, mainly shooting my recipes for my cooking blog, club level motorsport, family and a bit of random other stuff. I have just upgraded my poor tired old Canon 20D to a shiny new 60D body, my lenses include a Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L, Canon 24-105mm f/4L and a Canon 8-15mm f/4L. Here are a few of my shots,

Kermit, whom I rescued from our pool along with about 200 of his mates



Tomato Chilli Mussels, my favourite dish



My son James, who seems to have inherited my passion for motorsport. He tells me now that I can have my B back because the F is his

Hey guys, be glad he chose a close up of 'that' eye to share with us....
It'd be horrific to see such a close up of a 'brown eye' :omg:

No doubt a dying hobby due to digital. We have a 35mm Nikon gathering dust.

Currently we use a Lumix and a Minolta DSLR, which is a bit long in the tooth now.

I too am a child of the old processes and still have my two old Canon AE1'S and a Bronica ETRS laying about in storage, I think I could still just about manage to process and print B&W or Cibachrome but I doubt I could remember how to mix C41 and RA4 batches these days let alone E6 processing or manual colour correction.

Whoooo scary; if you were in our college with eyes dilated like that, the drug police would be on you like a ton of bricks.
