So it is Friday, April 18th 2008, and it is snowing outside. What to do...hmmmm...I know, lets watch some TV!

As I sat watching, I soon got up as I needed the volume increased and could not find the remote. Given the close proximity when I bent down to turn up the volume, I noticed the tiny pixels all in a row flickering on the screen.

A few weeks ago I had purchased a reversal ring for my Pentax FA 50mm 1.4 lense and the thoughts of TV screen macros flooded my brain.

I grabbed my camera and tripod, mounted my lense with reversal ring, and set up right in front of the TV....here are some of my results.

I hope some of you will take some shots of your own TV's and post them. It's amazing how certain things you have never thought about photographing become so interesting and fun to shoot.
