On Friday (I'm writing this tuesday 12th april) I went out with a camera and some filters to get photos to illustrate a course I was putting together on filters. I shot a few different photos, with a few different filters, the main ones being a graduated tobacco, a sort of pinky brown colour that fades out along the clear filter and is used to darken and colour a sky. A soft focus, and a sort of prism effect.
Long story short, I got home took the filters out of my camera bag and left them on my living room floor ready for sunday when I needed them again, no point stashing them away, my living room isn't that busy.
Come sunday and I get a bag of outher filters and stuff ready, come down and the filters I'd left on the floor by my phone charger have all buggered off! I search the living room, check the camera bag in case I'd put them back in without thinking, still nothing! Next I check my bedroom and the bag of other filters I was sorting out ready to go. No, theres shed loads of filters in there, but not the missing ones (I checked three times).
Now this isn't the end of the world, first off I haven't used any of these filters in probably years, secondly I only needed them to show someone, I'd already got the photos I needed on friday. But I'm still bloody baffled.
Fast forward to monday (yesterday) and I go to put the filters I'd taken out on sunday away. The filters I'd taken out sunday are in a carrier bag, the filters I didn't take sunday are in another carrier bag in my bedroom, thats the one I searched three times. I put the filters all together in the one bag, and went to put that back in a big holdall where they live normally.
Thats when things get odd. In the holdall are several other bags of filters, camera straps, lens hoods and other assorted crap, also in the holdall though are the bloody missing filters!! WTF?
I know I didn't put them in there, I'd made a point of leaving them out for sunday. I know my son wouldn't have done it, first off he wouldn't have known about the holdall in the spare room, and secondly he doesn't go around tidying up after me... or himself for that matter, you should see the kitchen some mornings.
So how the hell did they get there? Di I do it and not remember, thats a worrying thought, but that makes no sense anyway, I'd have put them back in the other bag in my bedroom ready for sunday, not the holdall in the spare room. I only found them there when I was putting all the filters back away for the duration until I need them again.... never probably.
Regular readers will know odd weird stuff like this happens in my house, I think it's poltergeist type stuff, but I'ts not really classic for them either. Your guess is as good as mine.
