When something just catches your eye

Lamp in Pentax Asahi 55mm 1:2 lensThere are moments when I suddenly wish there’s a camera nearby. Doing something, walking somewhere or talking to someone when something suddenly catches your eye and you’re captivated. If you’re not alone, you can share the experience, but otherwise: “where’s my camera!?”.
As I took off the 55mm lens from my (dad’s) old Pentax Asahi S1s (just wanted to look inside whether it was still keeping well), the light from my 19 bulb lamp reflected off the many elements inside the lens and just begged to be photographed. Luckily there was Olaf’s digital compact camera within reach. These four shots are the result (I like the first one best).

Holiday headers

Now that I’ve settled back into everyday life in the Hague I’ve made a few new headers for this site from the Peru and New York pictures. They should appear at random at the top of this site now and then. See this page to view them right away.
