Ready to Head Out

Hi all 😃

Since my trip to Palacerigg on New Years Day, we’ve been back in lockdown & travel pretty much prohibited. My work’s also been pretty hectic, so much of my photography has been either inside, in the garden or on my walk to work. I’m finally getting to head out today so have had to check all my gear over.

Lensball Playtime #1

Hi all 😁

My awesome wife got me a Tensphy 80mm Lensball (Amazon Associate) for my birthday, which I’m now getting a bit of time to play with. These first shots were out in the back garden, experimenting with having the ball on a platform, and holding it myself; trying to keep the ball and the DSLR steady and in focus was fun 🥵
