Living in the fog
With fog rolling in the bays we visited today I was forced to look around and take pictures of things I could get close to.

Wide Angle Macro
I was pleasantly surprised a few months back when a little bit of crap that we ordered from eBay arrived and worked as advertised. It’s an attachment that threads on the end of a 58mm lens, giving a wider field of view.
I also confirmed today during a quick outing with Andreau that it allows very close focusing, turning any lens with a matching thread size into a half-assed macro. The image quality is less-than-perfect, but what would you expect for ~$50.00. ????? ???? ? ??????? ??????

Fower power
Here are some flowers from the Botanical Gardens. I visit that place at least couple of times each year and it just so happens that for the past few years I brought a different camera every year to snap the pictures. Here is one taken with my trusty P&S Nikon Coolpix P5000. And later on came this one taken with my first SLR, Nikon D40x. And the current one was taken with my Canon XSi. Looking at all three side by side you can really get the impression that I’ve been trying to get closer and closer to those tiny little pollen producing buggers, which some might consider strange since I suffer from seasonal allergies.
