Photo Friday - Abstract
|
 |
|
Electric View
|
|
|
|
The cameras ability to pick up a totally different colour to reality never fails to amaze me, the reasons behind it are a loss to me but I must find out why, if for no other reason than I can produce photos like this with skill instead of luck.

Night Time
|
|
My first try at theming a series.
These only goes to fuel my desire for a camera with a zoom lens on it! (Serious hint when it comes to present time!!!  )

Photo Challenge - Macro
|
|
|
I normally only ever use macro when I've inadvertently moved the lever so this was a bit of a learning curve.

Here I sit....
|
 |
|
It looks like a bomb's hit it!

This is the photo I have entered for The Desktop Project.
I can't believe that's what it looks like. It has the appearance that I work from the middle of a derelict building!
Here's your guide to what you are seeing.
Main item is of course my IBM Thinkbrick which has seen good service for the last 5 years, with it's mouse to the right. To it's left is my phone/fax machine, in front of which is the book I'm presently reading, topped by my main mobile phone and my pda, lost in the gloom. Between the book and the laptop is a letter opener.
On the right hand side of the desk is a precarious pile of post, including letters re my even more precarious finances. Behind them is my leaning tower of cd's. To their left is my glass of water from which I am never far away, and further left a box of tissues with a couple of invoices on top to be scanned into the computer.
The wall behing consists of the lilac wallpaper, stripped to the left leaving brown backing paper, awaiting the day whn I will continue the decorating. On the lilac paper is what appears to be graffiti but is in fact some passwords to early websites before I started my diary system
Below the desk are a pile of brown envelopes housing the last 9 months 3verest magazines and post.
If it wasn't for the fact I'm a bloke, and thus congenitaly untidy, lazy and a bit of a slob, I'd probably feel the need to tidy up.

A Commandment Broken?

Mans Best Robotic Friend.

Coveting my neighbours wife seems unlikely as she is well over 60 now, and as for a neighbours ox, well, there aren't that many oxen in this bit of London, but coveting AIBOs? Yes, I admit it, I'm coveting with all my strength. They've got two and I've got none. I'm going to sulk!

The Bogus Rotunda

The Bogus Rotunda
|
|
|
|
Last year, the redevelopment of Kingston Upon Thames resulted in a new building known as the Rotunda. But for me there can only ever be one real Rotunda, that which dominated the skyline of Birmingham when I lived there. Towering over the Bull Ring, (a shopping centre rather than a sports arena for my foreign readers), it was always the first building you picked out on the horizon as you crested the approach on the M6. I never went in it, in fact I'm not sure whether you could unless you worked for one of the resident companies, and nor am I sure when you reached the top whether you would ever really want a birds eye view of Britains second city, but it was still more impressive than it's newer imitator.

I had three possibilities for this, but this was the one I was happiest with. My first entry in the world of photoblogs and photomemes!
