a red phone in the outpatients

marie · 29th of December 2004 (Wed)

just before Christmas these shots were taken when I was in the hospital outpatients until approx. 4am

I saw the phone and the notices beside it hanging on the wall
so I was interested in testing out the macro on the pro 1 while I was there
and happened to have the time

the lighting was very dull as there were patients asleep on trollies near by

all three shots are handheld
1/8shutter
aperture f2

the writing on the notice shot was 1/16th (centre )
bit blurry (4am

)

I never used the phone but will probably get a bill
as I already got one for forty five euro for just being there

the camera's macro seems ok

no worries.... so is my leg

The Macro seems better than OK Marie, those look real sharp, RED phone; for emergencys only

or is that the phone you call for help on when you get your bill

That's great news Marie. Glad to hear you are healing fine.

I was wondering when you were going to post the shots of the phone's keypad! Didn't you tell us about taking these pictures like two or three weeks ago?

Interesting looking phone. Not exactly what I was expecting, though. I guess I thought it would look more like the old pay phones we have over here.

I was at the 'doc' the other day . . . there are plenty of better ways to spend ones day for sure. Glad all is going well for you and the shot with your Pro1 of the red euro phone is stunning. I will have to try that function out on ours as well some day.

Hope you are ok. Can't believe that they let you take the pic. Here in the US you would have been escorted out.

For taking a picture of a phone? Why?

Ah yes from someone who takes photos in casinos.

I think it's maybe due to certain hospital policies about having cameras in there in general, just a guess. protecting patients privecy stuff..

Hmmm... I work at a hospital. Maybe I should bring a camera to work and go snapping away in the ER and see what happens.
