M is for Macro Mondays

Since the start of 2013 I've been participating in the Flickr group Macro Mondays. Every week you are given a theme or topic to photograph, with the proviso that your shots are macros only. I have a Tokina 100mm macro lens which I picked up secondhand on eBay last year, but it only works manually on my camera. This is fine most of the time, since I've read that automatic focusing isn't always that great for macro shots, but it does mean I can't do any self portraits (I like photographing eyes). 

I decided to take part in Macro Mondays mainly because I need practice using the lens and to think outside the box a little when it comes to finding things to photograph. So far that has worked, and I think my shots are improving. I'm even considering a Macro 365 project one day!

Sam and Dean love Lego Bench Monday

Yay, Supernatural season 7 is up on Netflix!!! That's me busy for a while then.  

The Vampire Diaries season 3 is on there too which won't last me long. I did watch 2 episodes of Gossip Girl and 1 episode of Charmed, in search for the next show to obsess over. They were both OK so I'll carry on with them once I've finished the others. 

Chosen Lego Bench Monday

In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of Lego darkness. She is the Slayer. 

Angry Fan Lego Bench Monday

For his sins, this little Lego dude is a Tottenham Hotspur fan. Unfortunately, Spurs aren't having the best start to the season. He's particularly angry because they sacked his favourite manager who was doing really well. COYS!
