Christmas with the Lomo fisheye

terri · Dec 29, 2005

As some of you know, my family and I were in Houston over Christmastime. Brad's parents moved out there a few months ago due to health reasons, and leaving Georgia after living here for 40 years was traumatic for everyone. But they are settled in and doing well.

I took the Lomo fisheye with me, just for fun. Ah, the joys of a point & shoot. :mrgreen:

1) The new house:

2) Brad with his father on the back porch (and Heidi the dog):

3) Steven in the Santa hat, leaning in close:

4) Trying to evade me (crazy Mom with weird camera):

5) Heidi is camera shy and wouldn't let me get as close as I wanted:

6) Me with my beautiful niece, Leah (aspiring artist):

7) Me with my other beautiful niece, Sara (aspiring singer):

8 ) I messed this one up a little, pointing too much into the rays. The girls, Brad's sister Katy, and weird aunt Terri:

Hopefully these are good for a laugh.

Thanks for looking!

How fun! Aubrey's already been wanting a Lomo, now I know I have no hope to resist (not that I would want to

) I really like these pictures, a lot of fun...though odd to not see snow on the ground at Christmas. I love #7, and my fellow wise chick you have beautiful eyes! The lighting in that one really makes them sparkle. Thanks for sharing your family with us

These are cool. Nice schtuff. Love the pooch shot too, with the shadow taking the pic.

Very cute pics Terri. I got one of these cams for Christmas and now I can't wait to start using it.

It looks like you had a good time. Good job getting more than one picture of Steven. I know how evasive teenagers can be when mom is the one pointing the camera in their direction. :lol:

Wow Terri, your gorgeous! What cool pictures. I wanna fisheye soooo bad!

Thanks, everyone! awww, especially Cindy and Alison for the kind words :blushing: .....I can indeed be gorgeous, in a distorted, fisheyed kind of way. :mrgreen:

Chiller, you helped me appreciate the doggie shot more by pointing out the shadow taking the shot. :thumbup: I was miffed with the shy girl, but this saves it for me. Thanks!!

These little cameras are inexpensive and loads of fun. It was nice to walk around and just pop off images without having to think. :lol:

No modeling here - the fisheye makes me look almost normal. (Awesome lens, I tell ya!) :thumbup: I ain't a blonde, either - sorta reddish hair, really - with highlights (paid for to hide the gray). :mrgreen:

Looks like a great house! I'm sure they'll love it there.

Cool shots as well. We've got a hot mum, her son looking stoned, a dog about to put it's snotty nose on the lens, lots of people with a "I guess I'll have to smile, the camera's pointing at me" expressions and a guy going "silly camera's. Back in my day they actually looked like cameras..".

Well, I told you what to expect with my reply, didn't I? :mrgreen: :hug::

They are cool shots. Thanks for sharing.
