Hocus Pocus

Just Focus On The Crocus

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON


I had to chuckle at a comment a few hours ago from the inimitable Goddess. She surmised that I am not toting around a $99 el-cheapo camera and said (in a mock flouncy but not princessy kind of tone) that her pictures never turn out like mine. Why, thank you, Goddess. I'm glad you like my photographs.

Most of the time, I use a Pentax K100D, but it wasn't so long ago that I was using (believe it or not) a $99 el-cheapo Instamatic camera. But I treasure many of the photographs I took, in several corners of the world, using that simple Ricoh. If you'd like to have a look at some of those shots, just go to Putting Cameras In The Picture.

Just for the record, the frame above was taken with a simple, non-expensive, non-digital Canon. It was a cold morning in Huntsville, Ontario, and the crocus had keeled over completely, pointing to all quadrants of the compass in a little circle of shade and bright sun. It was a very interesting subject with subtle colours and strong variation of light quality.
