This is the big fat frog that hopped out from underneath the broken fence as we were pulling it down. He didn’t seem too keen to get out of our way – Paul had to rather unceremoniously pick him up and plop him down in next door’s plant pot!
This morning, whilst wandering around on Flickr, I joined a group for square format photographs. I tend to crop my nature photos into squares, so it seemed like an interesting place to look around and see what other people were doing.
In one of the discussion threads there was a conversation about square format digital cameras. That’s where I found out about the Rollieflex MiniDigi. It’s styled exactly like the original Rollei twin lens reflex camera, but it’s teeny-tiny! (Smaller than this frog, in fact.) Unfortunately it costs over £350, and the resolution’s only 3 megapixels, but it does look as though it would be fun to use. Also, cute!
(Not that “cute” is my primary criterion for choosing things. Of course not. “Does it come in pink?” is much more important. Obviously.)
I’ve always thought someone should make a square format digital – didn’t realise there actually was one! I’ve got a broken Bronica and a Lubitel twin lens reflex but haven’t used either of them properly for ages…
Nice froggy 🙂
From the discussion on the Ravelry group, the Rollei seems to be considered more of a toy than an actual camera – I couldn’t find any evidence of actual pictures taken with it, which was a shame.
I think we upset the froggy’s hibernation. I hope he’s found somewhere a bit safer now!
