lens, baby.

lens, baby. by frogmuseum2.
It was a dark and stormy night...no, wait -- that story is for another day.
It was a Saturday. Outside it was cold and snowy and icy and whatnot. I decided, on a whim, to clean my eyeglasses. Then I began to feel somewhat silly for no good reason, which was fun. So I got my camera and decided to have a bit of play-time -- very much against my nature, but what do you want for only 5 quid? :-P

Happy Chinese New Year! :D

thanks, horst. It was a wonder I could see any focus with my glasses off. Good thing my camera is automatic! :-)

Sure, you can borrow mine -- but I don't really think you need them! :-)

Hey! If it's on the Explore page, then don't the Staff have to send me some money as a consolation prize? I think about 5 quid should be about the correct rate! Oh, and the flying pig is already asleep! :-)

Fun with lens, baby! :-)

hehe. It helps to have a lot of amusing toys! :-)

Thank you! :-)

What color treatment? Be careful, you, or I'll start speaking Welsh again! :-)

heheh. :D

Thank you! But...but...doesn't everybody have a Flying Pig? o_O

And a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year to you as well. And to all! :-)

Generally I don't like selective color photos, they are all too cliche, with an apple or a single flower, this is a fresh approach and it works marvelously.
Your title is brilliant as well.

Now I have to confess: I really don't do selective colorization so much for effect (and I also do it the hard way) -- I just love to "color" with that crayon thingi in PS; it's one of the few things I can do with that program! :-)

Thank you! It was more like a "Hmm. I wonder how weird this could be?" kinda thought. :-)

The Pig is pleased, Mo. But too many comments so I will have to delete all of mine! :-O hehe.

I will post there shortly then. Thank you! :-)

I think you are right, Ewa. Pigs eat everything. Flying Pigs need more energy so they can lift themselves off the ground. I think grendl is missing. I wonder....??? ;D
