After my very exhaustive two days of using the magic mouse I have to say: It Rocks! If you ever get a chance to flick one up and down on the touch surface â do it!
I managed to pop out tonight between rain showers to take this. I started off trying to get photos of me looking at the camera but the street lighting didn't seem to like me doing that. So I looked up to see what I could do about it and next thing I know the aliens were coming to get me.
Taken using a tripod and my wireless remote. Lighting provided solely by a street lamp.
Happy Christmas Everyone. I hope you got all the things you put on your list.
This is a decoration that my brother bought back from America for my mum. Shot with the Christmas tree in the background to continue a bokeh filled week.
He also got me a book on photography, but I am hoping that doesn't mean everyone is now expecting me to take any good photos.
This guy is insanely hard to focus on, especially when you are so close to him. The problem is that he has a very long head front to back.
Lit using my MacBook with a white screen at full brightness stage right reflected back at him slightly with a piece of white paper stage left. Christmas tree in the background providing the bokeh.
The roads outside are covered in ice, as are the pavements. This makes it incredibly difficult to move around without sliding and almost falling over. This car hasn't moved for days now and it makes me smile how there is still a perfect line of snow around it and that no cars have yet slid on the ice into the side of it.
Homemade Christmas cake. Another one of the things I love about Christmas. Decorated with a tiny house, Father Christmas, holly and snowmen makes for the perfect winter snow scene.
Last night a nice amount of snow fell. The problem with taking photos of snow is, it would seem, that everything just blends into the background in a large white mess. Still the early bird catches the worm so I was out with my camera just after sunrise to get some photos before it all melted.
Up in London today walking along Oxford Street looking for something to photograph and these two stop in front of me. No idea if they made it to the place this guy had on his phone but they looked at the map for just long enough for me to get a photo.
It's a little blurry if you look closely but don't let that scare you, it was quite dark so these things are to be expected. Also experimenting with some borders... we will see how long I keep them.
It started snowing today. Snow is fantastic except for the fact that it is freezing cold, quite literally. Still it does make the view out of my window look like a christmas card so I can't complain.
Tonight was damn cold. When I went out the temprature was hovering just above freezing. So naturaly the obvious shot is the one that involves you crouching down to try and focus a camera while it is on the floor. My feet taken using my remote and someone else's blue christmas lights.
Venturing out into the darkness today was frightfully chilly. Today found me make my way to the Honeywood building in Carshalton. I had another version of this photo where you could make out the ducks at bottom but unfortunately the crop on that photo wasn't nearly as good as this one.
For what ever reason the ducks in the pond were so well trained that as soon as I got within two meters of the edge of the pond they were over like a shot looking at me expectingly.
