Depends, does your lens experience ghosting?

I could say Manual Focus is a little stiff -

But I won't.

Glad to hear you're expanding your photography. That's the spirit!

Headline from local free paper many years ago :

'Crematorium will be built despite stiff opposition'.

And, more recently :

'Shot in the arm for war against drugs'.

This cartoon joke is perhaps appropriate as it is camera related....

My grief counselor died the other day.
She was so good at her job, I don't even care.

Larry the lobster and Sam the clam were very different characters. Larry the lobster was someone you'd always be glad to meet while Sam the clam was well, difficult company and better passed on the other side of the street. Nevertheless they were such good friends they did everything together and ended up dying together; but Larry went to heaven while Sam found himself in hell.

Although Larry settled in quickly and was universally popular, he was a little restless. One of the angels had a word with him and asked if he could help in any way? "I really miss my old friend Sam Clam," Larry answered, "we were such friends." "I'll see what can be done," the angel replied and went off to make enquiries. A short while later Peter himself came to Larry with news: "I've made arrangements for you to visit your friend tomorrow. Be at the elevator first thing and you can spend the day with him."

Wings brushed, halo polished and harp tuned, an excited Larry took the elevator to hell next morning and was met at the bottom by Sam himself. Sam was running a discotheque and the two friends had a wonderful time together. When it was time to return they bade each other a hearty farewell, but when Larry arrived back in heaven, Peter was blocking the gates. "You've missing something, Larry Lobster!" he said. Larry felt behind him but the wings were still there, as was the halo above his head. Suddenly he gasped in horror:– "I left my harp in Sam Clam's disco!!!"

Photographing ghosts is a dying art.

I know I'm late with that line.

Not all construction work is equally enjoyable. For instance, drilling a large hole is boring, but fastening two pieces of metal together is riveting.
