Took a wee trip to Owego to visit the greenhouses at Tioga Gardens and I was in macro heaven! Yay!

I’ve been beta testing a new Lensbaby set-up which has super close macro capabilities! Woo!

It’s finally starting to melt, which is almost a shame when it has the ability to transform even weeds and other mundane objects into abstract wonders.

This time the test is not of a new lens, but of a new camera! When I ordered my latest acquisition, a Zuiko 50/1.4, it happened to come mounted on a camera! The light meter didn’t work, but that’s because it didn’t have a battery in it. Duh. Seems to work fine now, eh?

So now I have TWO OM1s. I was initially intending to just keep one around as back-up in case my beloved original ever died, but I found myself wandering the woods with BOTH of them in hand, each with a different lens, and felt like a right plonker. Ah well :)

Look at me, getting all abstract again. A view of the ceiling of a local ice rink… what you might see if you had fallen on your ass while trying to round a corner, perhaps? Not sure what that net is doing there. Hmmm….

The Sciencenter opened its doors for free on Sunday, so I took my camera and had some fun

(Actually, it’s pomegranate juice, but we can pretend, non?)

More from the honey pot series, this time with a lil added va-va-voom… and abstraction.
