Offset Cam (Day 149)

 

He's got a shiney new moped.  For once I am jealous.  Looked great in the outdoor lights at night - camera didnt pick much of that up though

 

Lemonade (Day 148)

 

Ooh - something happened and the last couple of days photos havent got through. Sending them again now.

Heres a rip off.  Normal cans here are 50p.  But put a rat pee cover on them, and they go to 90p.  How cool.  Wish I had thought of it.

Its just lemonade though

 

Orion's Sword (Day 147)

Actually just lights down a redway at night - but reminded me of my favourite constellation 

Blossom again (Day 146)

Finally got a blossom picture I wanted. The trick was to stand UNDER the tree. Then it worked.

House by the woods (Day 145)

Two houses by the woods.  Always looked derelict.  Today there was a car.  Maybe there is life inside.

Press for coffee (Day 144)

 

Monkey (Day 143)

 

Blossom (Day 142) #photoaday

Over processed but I cant do hdr on my mobile.  I tried..

Simple (Day 141) #photoaday

The simple food sometimes is the nicest.  This was a ploughman's sandwich.  Yummy.

Monoammonium Phosphate (Day 140) #photoaday

Some crystals I have been growing for a week or so for the boys.

Biker (Day 139)

I think I've found my favourite minifig.

Flare (Day 138)

 

As you can guess by the flare - this wasn't a mobile phone pic.

The old boathouse (Day 137)

The light here today at 2pm was beautiful

Textures (Day 136)

New from the Art Gallery

Oh, Wert thou distorthed (Day 135)

This way to the Gallery (Day 134) #photoaday

I think this is the best shot I've taken so far with the pinhole camera ap.  This was some amusing graffiti just around the corner from a large concrete 'tunnel' under a road.  Every month the council remove it...  Every month more 'art' is exhibited.

 

OrtsRect.com (Day 133) #photoaday

Ok. So I wasn't actually shopping here. I was waiting outside. I have an obsession with trying to take interesting pictures of illuminated shop signs at night. A long, and largely unsuccessful obsession. This was taken with the pinhole camera ap of Retro camera on an Android phone. I do like the film effect. It looks like this was badly cropped but the sign did have some bulbs out.

Wisps (Day 132)

Blue sky is a bit of a novelty in these parts of late

Pip (Day 131) #photoaday

I like my retro camera ap

Dentist

 

Just found this again on YouTube and had to share.

 

Fantastic.

 

I like Mr Martin.

Books (Day 130) #photoaday #hungergames

Well these two books made No1's day today. Never seem him so happy about being given books. We finally cracked it!!

No photos please (Day 129) #photoaday

For some reason I didn't want to argue..

(My Niece) DSLR. ON camera bounced flash.

Clockwork (Day 128) #photoaday #toys

Took a few hours to get a picture of this guy which was of acceptable quality.

Dont let the beams cross (Day 127) #photoaday

  Interesting jet trails in the sky tonight - full of noise but at least I captured an image at short notice.

Stuck in a book (Day 126) #photoaday #hungergames

No1 is really into The Hunger Games Its great to see him reading a decent book.

Retro Comics (Day 125) #photoaday

This wrapping paper is excellent - although some of these comics are older than me..

Blank (Day 124) #photoaday

I'd been saving this idea for a day when I had no inspiration

Oops (Day 123)

 

Katniss Everdeen (Day 122) #photoaday #hungergames

My most recent favourite book(s) are the Hunger Games (trilogy).  I've burned through them on Audio book but No1 bought home the actual book today.  Its got this strange folding front cover that through a window you can 'choose your own cover' and choose between Katniss or Peeta (two protagonists..).  I had my own picture of what Katniss looked like but this wasn't too different.  She should have braided hair though...

45 (Day 121) #photoaday

With hindsight it looks more like 40 degrees.

iPad 2 (Day 120)

Ok - so its finally here.  They have finally updated the UK Apple website to announce the iPad 2.  This comes on a day when a non-techie in the office was talking about the iPad 3 being 'due out in September.'

Do I want one?  Yes.  

Did I want the original iPad.  Yes.  

Did I get one?  No.  

Although its a lovely object I'm already paying twice the going rate for my Apple Macbook so I'll be damned if I spend the cost of a reasonable windoze lappy to buy this iPad gadget.

Dont get me wrong.  I'd love one.  If someone bought me one I would be ecstatic - then probably followed by feeling a bit guilty.  Its a truly lovely object but I cant bring myself to buy one.

I dont know the UK price for this - but the US one starts at around $440.  If it meant that this was going to be around £220 here (wishing for the old exchange rates) then I might fork out for one.  But as it stands I'll wager they will be around £399 here.  

Sorry Apple not this time.  

Again.

Seymour and Audrey II (Day 119)

Grabbed from video.  But a fun evening out at a local school watching Little Shop..
