Time to Play .....................

............ with our new toy.

@carole_sandford and I took a delivery from Amazon (other online retailers are available) today; a light box. Half an hour to build it, plug it in and start playing. Think there is a lot more fun to be had in the future with it; this is one of the first shots using it

Think I'm possibly going to have to order a second to have down in the SW during the week leaving one up here in the Shire for Carole.

This is one of my watches (not that I have that many) using a 10x macro filter and concentrating on the 'Citizen' logo and the watch hands for, I think, a pretty interesting POV.
Hey, admit it, you're all fed up with my garden visitors aren't you? 😜😜

You'll never get a bird in one of those Phil!!

Nice macro, well lit 😉

[Sue Cooper]

You've completely lost me here. What is a light box and what has it to do with photography and this picture.
Actually I really like your garden visitors.

[Shirley B]

I'm another one who doesn't understand what you are describing ! I think I would rather continue with your wildlife.

A nice macro

@susiemc @boatman137 Hi both, it basically a box, with a bright light inside, to aid macro photography.

It'll come more in handy for me during the week when I'm down in my flat in Bath, going to and from work in the dark. Garden visitors will continue 😜😜

New toys are really fun - and a light box is a fabulous toy for winter! What an interesting watch.

[Sue Cooper]

@phil_sandford So do you put the object to be photographed inside the light box? I'm still a bit confused about how you would use it.

[Phil Sandford]

@susiemc Exactly that Sue.

@susiemc Take a look at this on YouTube
