piccies

I worked it out – I have to use image capture to download the photos as iTunes doesnt do it – very odd! Anyway, for your viewing pleasure – some photos from the last week or so – mostly taken with “The Best Camera” iPhone app.

Snippets

Been taking lots of pics with the iPhone and an app modestly called The Best Camera (on the basis that the best camera is the one you have with you) The iPhone cam is pretty average really, certainly when compared to the Nokia N95, but TBC app on here is very cool, once I work out how to blog pictures from this phone I’ll…

IPhone blogging

It’s not that easy, the ‘keyboard’ is small and very sensitive on this phone, I reckon my old blackberry was easier from a typing point of view, but this is getting easier with time. So, I didn’t say did I? I got an iPhone 3GS from work. I’ve been resisting as they are expensive and a total luxury, and besides, I just got a…

forums (part 2)

I mentioned this a few weeks ago when I got disillusioned with a few groups on Flickr. Why are internet forums so hostile? I was reading some scientific journals the other day and was somewhat surprised by the level of hostility there too. I guess after reading the Climategate emails and the resulting fallout I should have expected it, but really, there’s no excuse…

Party pics

Some pics from the night – the early ones are better, can’t think why..LOL I think everyone looks fab – glad people went to such a lot of effort with the costumes.   Jay looked wicked – pink, pink and more pink.

exhibitionist

I have some photos in a local photo exhibition this week – the first one I’ve ever entered – and they look pretty good. I decided to only enter photos I’ve taken this year, even though I have some corking photos from the UK and last year in Oz too. I dunno, call me a purist, but I think you should only exhibit (if…

party time

Its party time next weekend – as we’re old farts, we’re having a joint hen and bucks party (hucks?) with lots of friends – and its an 80’s cocktail party. Oh yes 🙂 Get your leather ties, jackets with roll up sleeves, leg warmers and severe makeup ready, we’re side step dancing and jitterbuggin’ all night. Costume has been annoyingly difficult to source –…

impressionista

as promised, some images from last nights shoot at the beach. motion pans, horizontal and vertical, zoom blurs and a gorgeous portrait.

stormy

we’ve had some really muggy days this week and last night we had the mother of all thunderstorms. It was rumbling and grumbling away as we went to bed and then at 2am we were woken up with an almighty bang, shaking the whole house. Must have been a really close strike or sheet lightning right overhead – I’ve never heard anything quite so…

sunsets

Its been quite a warm and hazy day today which usually bodes well for a corker of a sunset. I sat on the front porch for a bit as the sun made its way down and lit up the sky I popped out to get a few beers and a couple of bottles of wine just before the sun went all the way down,…
