Creativity, curiosity, and code
This is actually from a couple of days ago. I love sun-sets and sun-rises and am mostly of the opinion that they’re not worth photographing. They are beautiful, temporary, unique, ephemeral, and are better enjoyed in the moment. Plus, the photo never does it justice. However, occasionally I still try and capture it. On this […]
Haven’t been very good at the photo-a-day thing. This rubbish snap kicks things off again and simply represents the fact that my amazing wife made her legendary chocolate brownies last night. Just one of about a million reasons why I love her. Nomnomnom!
There's a great discussion going on on Emma Mulqueeny's blog that's people giving advice to a young person who's thinking about going to Uni to study computer science, or something similar. Here's my take on the matter (slightly edited).
A bit behind on daily pictures. This from Sunday as I completed the third coat of paint on the ceiling of our lounge, which we’ve had re-plastered. I like the abstract-ness, and the weird dark patch that the iPhone’s HDR produced. And I like the smooth, white ceiling we now have too! 🙂
We’ve been meaning to get some plastering done in our house for ages. Some of the previous renovations were a bit slap-dash! The impending arrival of baby Wintle has forced us to get a move on with the home improvements. This photo shows the old and new. Capturing the colours and textures of the plaster […]
Not a great photo but it documents Sunday. A few years ago I went to watch loads of friends run the Swindon Half Marathon. The next year I heard that they had cycle marshals that patrol the route between static marshalling points. I figured that, if I was going to stand and watch, I may […]
A funny and trivial photo today. This isn’t about composition, lighting, effects, or depth of field. It’s all about taking coffee on your bike! We went, with trepidation, to the National Childbirth Trust ‘nearly new’ sale today. I suggested not taking the car as parking would be a nightmare and it’s easy cycling and walking […]
Today Sally made two big piles of yummy cookies. I liked the contrast between the colours of the chocolate and cinnamon versions. Sadly, the iPhone camera doesn’t give you much depth-of-field control, but Noir has spiced it up a bit. And they taste even better than they look!! Full mouth-watering gallery, including original image, below:
Now, if you can just imagine that I had a tripod and an SLR and got a beautiful, long-exposure shot of trains moving in and out of the railway shed at Paddington that would be amazing! In London today and there should have been loads of opportunity for great shots of city life, but I […]
Spotted this when walking to the shop the other day. The colours are amazing. Hard to compose and a photo doesn’t do it justice. Of course, a Hipstamatic or Noir would only detract from the great natural colours. Here’s the full gallery with a Hipstamatic too!
