I was fooling around with the camera tonight and discovered that you can combine the super macro setting with eyeglasses to get some interesting shots. As I may have mentioned before, I'm blind as a bat and as I'm also older than a badger I need a strong bifocal prescription. Thank the gods of opthalmology that reduction lenses and progressive bifocals were invented, otherwise I'd look like Mr. Magoo's sister. As it is, I just look* incredibly intelligent.
But I digress. During my photographic explorations, I discovered that on the super macro setting, my camera can take focused pictures through my glasses. Yes! Is this not fascinating? No? Too bad. This is my blog. Write your own drivel.

I like it. Little Wide Angle lenses Can you somehow comebine it with the Yakkety Yak shot?
Tsk. You men. Never satisfied...
;-)
And besides, jkirlin, the lens narrows the image, it doesn't widen it. Just what are you trying to say?
Without a flickr of a doubt...
Dawn - I can see better through your glasses than I can through mine - can we swap?
wv: nrimtp (or that's what it looks like through my glasses!)
Hmmm. You mean you can see better through my glasses combined with my camera. Just try adding a camera to yours. It'll work. 100% FACT!
Okay - so send me your glasses AND your camera ;-)
And you'd send me... what? A white cane? A seeing-eye dog?
A seeing-eye badger.
Phwoar! That would be cool!
