Kazza inspired me for today’s post. My camera is focused on the lights on my Christmas tree.
The above image was created by wrapping the camera in it’s cord. When I let go of the camera it spun to the end of the cord and then bounced. (It’s a short, wrist-cord so not long enough that the drop could damage the camera.)
I had the camera on a hand-held tripod and then spun the camera to tighten it to the tripod. I must have jerked my hand a bit creating the “boxes.”
Here I simply flipped and spun the camera through the air. I caught it before it got anywhere near the ground.
No cameras were hurt in the productions of these images.
There are more at my Flickr account.
(Sadly I recently dropped my camera on the garage floor and jarred the eye-view finder loose. This was not done while attempting a picture, it just fell out of my hand and splat. Bother!!!! It probably costs as much to fix it as to get a new camera. Right now the camera is “repaired” with tape.)




Squeee!!! Very cool!! :):):):)
Glad you like! We both need to create some more!
Sorry to hear about the camera mishap.
I once called to get a camera repaired — the repair cost was $6.00 less than buying new.
FWIW … IE8 couldn’t post a comments. I kept getting “Invalid Data: Please go back and try again.”
Yes … I know … I should be using FireFox all the time anyway. I’ve recently done and OS reinstall and am not yet up to speed.
Gee Delmer, you’re just a beacon of good news today! LOL! Just kidding! Thanks for letting me know. As for the camera, it still works and I’m busy with Christmas and year-end stuff, so I’ve made no effort to get a repair estimate. I’d rather get a new camera. Actually, I’d rather have this camera in perfect order AND get a new camera.
As for IE8…I wonder if the old version of WordPress I’m using is the issue. I have WP 2.7.1 and I see that they’ve jumped to 2.9 in the past week or so. Now that my web host has updated their servers, I might try one of the 2.8 versions. You’re using WP aren’t you? What version do you have?
Thanks again for letting me know!
