Day 342: Injury

I have been struggling with this impressive blister since Sunday. It was formed in the line of duty stretching inner-tubes onto tilt lenses! Hot rubber and friction do not mix. It means that I wont be making any new ones until I get back from Kenya. So there will be a couple of disappointed twitter pals. You have no idea how hard it was to take this photo. Have you ever tried taking a picture of your own thumb? Hmm?

    Project 365 Day 342: InjuryOuch indeed, that looks painful!

    Sorry to hear of the injury, probably wrong of me to be glad I got in there before this, as I love the tilt shift I got from you! Will have to speak to you in the new year about getting a 28mm one I think…..

    Anyway, hope this improves before your trip fella

    Project 365 Day 342: Injury[http://www.flickr.com/photos/icklemia] Sorry about that!

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/devilfishmark] Strangely there is an absence of pain. In fact there is no sensation at all It feels like my thumb is wrapped in a plaster! So glad you are liking the lens. I’ll be back in business in the new year. Gimmie a shout then and I’ll tell you what I’ve got in.

    Project 365 Day 342: InjuryFrom the thumb (no pun intended) I thought this was taken through glass with your thumb pressed against it. Now I see it isn’t at all … and all I can say is owwwwwww!

    Project 365 Day 342: InjuryBlisters are no good, but having one on your thumb is much better than having one anywhere on your foot. You’re going to have a heroic callous. :-)

    What is a tilt lens? and why do you put inner tubes on them (I’m guessing around the perimeter)?

    As for the tilt lens this is one:

    Project 365 Day 342: Injury[http://www.flickr.com/photos/webjones] Lol. Thats what they are! I use bicycle inner tubes to form the flexible outer casing for my tilt lenses.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/c_estus] I am so going to try that.

    Project 365 Day 342: InjuryDude, nice one. I had a hell of a time getting a shot of my eye. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/c_estus/4668916985/] Try that next time!

    Project 365 Day 342: Injuryokay, yes i recognize that. I was puzzled by "inner tubes" since that is the common name here for bicycle tire tubes.
