Borrowed a camera to take next weekend and I've been playing with it, to get used to it.

Macro focus is pretty good. I was able to take photos of these silly buttons. Silly because I can't find what they are.



Tomorrow I'll go out somewhere and take photos of building & trees & things yet. Haven't decided where yet. Suggestions? ;)

They're similar, but the rope wraps differently. Which might not sound much but I've found also found similar buttons for British, Australian, Canadian... None of which have the wide border.

They could be brass. I have trouble identifying the "yellow" metals.
