Re: August Snapshot Competition

What is ment by "looking glass"? does he mean the camera eyepiece/rear screen/lens or window? clarification needed I think. Or just a mirror. I could even take a photo through a "loupe" (magnifying eye piece)

Re: August Snapshot Competition

Looking glass - “A looking glass is an object with a surface so reflective that you can see yourself in it — in other words, a mirror. You might check out your reflection in a looking glass before you leave the house in the morning.“

It’s a fun competition RS, don’t take it so seriously.

Re: August Snapshot Competition

WE are more modern here and call them mirrors? Looking glass is a Victorian term no longer in use. I know it is a site for the over 50's but for the over 100's is stretching it a bit

It’s also an expression that is used today!

Re: August Snapshot Competition

Alice in Wonderland comes to mind! That would be my take on it. Open to personal interpretation, this could be very interesting!

It means whatever you want it to mean.


“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where-" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.
"-so long as I get somewhere," Alice added as an explanation.”

Re: August Snapshot Competition

I have just amended the introduction regarding interpretation, but I really didn't think it that difficult....
