As we travel around, Sally will add to the collection of Bells. This one having been collected from a trip to Halls Gap in Victoria.
Bells of different colours and sizes are all added to the collection. There are so many on the market, it will only be room here to store them that will slow the increase in bell numbers down.
Simple designs create different appearances which all adds to the overall collection.
This bell is supposed to represent Telstra Tower in Canberra by being a similar shape to the actual tower. Some of these smaller items that have been photographed really needs another item along side to give a real life size perspective. Perhaps that is something that I can do another day.
This 25 year wedding anniversary bell was give to us by Sally's cousin Carol who was a Bridesmaid at out wedding. From the bottom of the bell to the top of the ring is approximately 2.5 inches.
Between Sally and myself, we have rather a comprehensive collection of bells. All of these shown here are from Sally's collection.
As some of these bells are very small, to get the best from them I have used my 2x lens converter to bring them up to a good size image for each photo.
As time progresses, I will post more images of bells.
Photography has been a passion of mine for many years now and since the digital age has evolved, with this came the low cost of taking photos. Once the equipment had been purchased, the cost of the actual photo is almost zero which allows many photos to be taken. Most if not all of the photos taken and posted to this site would have been taken with my Pentax istD digital SLR camera.
