Lens

Today's photo was a last minute experiment which turned out better than I expected. I'd popped to the Wharf after work and took a few photos, but apart from the snap uploaded to my other album, I wasn't pleased with any of the other pics I took.

So, I switched to my 50mm lens and took a few pics of the18-55mm kit lens on my kitchen work top. I then thought about trying a long exposure shot so set the exposure to 2 seconds... I'd left the light on in the kitchen and this resulted in washing out alomst everything apart from the lens.

I darkened ever so slightly, but quite like the result.

As for work today, I attended a launch of a local social enterprise and had to take some pics of a Lord... That's right, a real life Lord!! Lord Wei?!?!?!?! Ever heard of him???? Nope, me neither....

A Lord? Will we see these pics? Nice effects!

[Graham Harcombe]

That's unusual - it's fun to experiment.

Cool shot...at first glance I thought it was a gold plated lens and thought oh man I want one! :)

You rub elbows with all the rich and famous. I see that he is an advisor on the Big Society project. Love the shots you are taking with your 50mm.

Oh, your macros are giving me all kinds of ideas! Beautiful shots!

thanks guys... @mrssmith yeah, took some pics but htey were just men in suits... yawn, yawn :-)
@seattle ha ha, yeah, that's the guy... not sure what he did to become a Lord tho... perhaps donated a lot of money to a political party (oo err... that's me off the next round of invites lol)

Nice shot, but never heard of the Lord. Not surprising on this side of the pond. ;)
