Rubbery - Thematic Photography

My legs went all rubbery at the thought of possibly having to explain the difference between a rubber and an eraser. However as I had neither to photograph I could not include them in Carmi's 'Rubbery' theme this week.

I managed to come up with a toy or two.

Or is it three?

There is a difference, apart from colour, between the three.

Yellow looks down on them; Red knows his place

A carpet isn't where you usually find them so perhaps this will give you a clue.

The Driver's point of view

Sometimes when you take shots like that you don't see what is before your eye(s).

Rubber viewfinder

If one isn't enough perhaps you need two to find that distant theme.

One for each eye

Before you set the zoom.

If you are not prepared to get your hands dirty then try - 

A pair of rubber gloves

Just grab a pair with both hands

Rubber balls

Set your mind at rest 

Just de-stress -

And get a grip.

Don't cheat

Have one in each hand and squeeze while you find more rubbery delights at Carmi's thematic-photographic-325.

Thematic Photography - Technological

When it comes to modern gadgets you could say I'm a bit of a technological dinosaur.

My phone is anything but smart and never rings because no-one has my number. A Pay-as-you-go phone is very cheap to run when £20 lasts just about a year. The only texts it sees are those with offers from the phone company; messages left are from my wife or someone who has a wrong number.

I can manage the Kindle successfully, but I still prefer an old fashioned book.

The I-Pad mini is my wife's. The text too small for me to read and my fingers only leave marks on the screen.

I haven't had a laptop since I finished work and the last one I had failed, and proved irrecoverable by me.

I have some technology toys which I use from time to time.

USB Memory Sticks

However I'm still disappointed that the car isn't real.

Household gadgets remain largely a mystery to me. A washing machine's controls are a marvellous example.

 To much choice and information for a 'dinosaur' like me.

However I do know that when it bleeps and the light beneath the Start button glows red that I can turn the thing off.

Fortunately there is one piece of technology I do know how to handle.

Panasonic DMC - F250

And it case anyone gets smart - yes I do know it's set on automatic, but I do have to twiddle that ring on the front.
