I'm not a great photographer, but I'm learning and I'm having fun - and as I'm not in the business of photography, that's all that matters. Here are a few of my photographs which might (or might not) be interesting for one reason or another.
The balance staff end jewel of a very dirty pocket watch,
taken by holding the camera up to the eyepiece of a very
cheap microscope - my very first photomicrograph.
The amazing thing is that it worked at all.
Stare at it long enough and it starts to look like a surreal
image of hardware floating by one of the giant outer planets.
A close-up view of a pocket watch.
Though really only a close-up,
this is literally a photomicrograph because this
impromptu set-up
was used to take it,
and the lenses so arranged constitute, very crudely,
a compound microscope.
A photograph of a clock wheel (gear) taken with a
homemade cardboard
pinhole camera obscura.
Here's an
account of how it was made.
