No flowers, bugs or birds. 
Hope you enjoy anyway... For the first I used my lightbox lined with black fabric with a sheet of clear plexiglass on the bottom for reflection. Please try the downloads.

That's my old camera! How did you get it? 
Interesting, Donna. Are we all getting cabin fever at this point?
The keyboard image is intriguing, like a stairway off into the dark. Hey wait a minute! That's my old piano, too!
Great change of pace, and nicely done.

Beautiful work, Donna. These are great examples of using super wide lenses for close ups, & also for using ultra long exposures (especially on the first one)--just love that old camera.

LOL You're so right about cabin fever, Mike, and you can see the results here. lol I think everybody and his pooch had a camera like this. This one belonged to my husband's uncle, and he used it when he was stationed in Alaska during WWII. My husband recently tried it out with a roll of film, and the thing still works! The piano is my first little spinet...and it still works too!
Glad you enjoyed these, Mike. Thank you for the compliment and for the chuckle!Feb 4, 2018 16:52:34 #

You're so right, Earl. The wide angles are great for closeups and especially so when using a lightbox because of the close confines. Thanks so much, and I love that old camera too! See my answer to Mike for its history. I think Vic might have one time sent you some of his uncle's old photos he took with this camera??

Thank you so very much, Sandy! Not much to shoot here at all unless it's blooms from the grocery, but I'm so glad you enjoyed these. Just a bit of nostalgia...

Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Angela. I'm glad you enjoyed these. It's fun to shoot something a bit different for a change and especially this time of year when nothing else is cooperating..not even the pets!
