Day 212

Fatty fat fat..

Here's me leaning against the cooker, waiting for my curry... Like I need it !

I took this without the flash and some how my hulking frame managed to engulf any ambient light that may have enhanced to shot.

This is one for the fridge door..

Morning sun.

Nevermind, Cardiff this weekend (bank holiday!). Try to get some decent shots in.

Day 206

Lazy Blogging #4 - Rubbish photo of the day.

The title says it all really. First day back to work and the weather was pretty miserable too. This is a photo taken out of the bedroom window with my phone after the battery went flat on my camera (!?)

HTC hero. (Taken and posted with)

Note: Not only is it  'Rubbish photo of the day' but it didn't get posted till this morning !! Damn this email..

Rose

Last day off today and this is one of the roses Liz got for the open day we had last Sunday.

Day 203

Ummm...

Didn't expect to spend Sunday evening down the hospital but here we are. Liz isn't feeling to good, in fact she hasn't been well most of the day. I put it down to a dodgy meal last night but it doesn't look like it...

Day 201

Is that the cooker on the floor?!

Yes it is. A faulty hob. To be fair, the kitchens only been fitted 3 1/2 months.  It probably takes a while to bed in...3 1/2 months ??!?!?? This kitchen is getting beyond a joke...

Day 199

Jack Attack #2

I was messing around with the flash on my camera and using the zoom on a slow(ish) shutter speed I came up with this.. This is a previous blog entry displayed on my laptop then taken whilst zooooming.. Interesting effect I thought, could come in handy next years Photo Marathon..

As you can see I'd ran out of idea's today.

Day 194

There's one...

Took this photo along with 30 odd others in an attempt to capture a meteor this morning at 1.30am... As you can see, no meteor... but I did get Jupiter, in the top left...

Never mind. Better luck next year..

Day 193

Bunny in a churchyard.

Had to take a detour on the way to and from work today (and tomorrow !) so I called by the Church as I was in Burghill and caught this bunny. Probably just dropping off flowers or tending to a grave...

Didn't come out too well as the foreground  was dark. So I tweaked and cropped it with Photoshop.

I got this shot on the way home today. Unfortunately it was taken into the sun. At the time it didn't look too bad but now, on closer inspection, they're a bit washed out...

Nearly home..
I stopped and took this one on the way home tonight not because it was a particularly good shot (infact it's pretty boring!). But just so I could listen to the rest of Elbow's 'Friend of ours' on me Ipod...
