Oh yeah, one thing that made me smile today....

As I was leaving the house earlier I found one of Marco's toys on the front drive. It's a small black and white one that he normally plays with in the house but I can't actually recall having seen it for weeks. It was covered in mud and looking very sorry for itself. For some reason I find the image of Marco carrying it out through the cat flap to play with it in the garden and then it somehow making its way round to the front of the house on its outdoor adventures quite amusing and I've no idea why. Maybe Marco's hinting that he'd like some new toys.

Invasion!

Dave on the beach at Blakeney on Monday...



We didn't know about the ladybird invasion before we decided to go for a walk along the beach. The picture above was only one I took that doesn't have ladybirds in it. They got everywhere. I won't be too disappointed if I don't see another one for quite some time.

Best of Gothla Pics - Part 2


From the open stage night on the Saturday...



This girl was looked so nervous backstage (bless her) but when she actually got out there she gave a fantastic performance and was one of my favourite acts of the night.

The rest under here... )

Best of Gothla Pics Part 1


I know it's almost a week later but as promised here are some of my favourites of the photos I took at Gothla. I had trouble narrowing them down so I'll be posting this in two parts. I figure a single post with twenty pics is a bit much.



More photos from the Friday night hafla under here... )

Gothla pics


Can you believe it's just taken me four hours to upload some of my Gothla picutres on to flickr? Well it has and flickr was being an arse. I had to upgrade in the process too as I'd exceeded my monthly upload allowance. I suppose maybe I should actually explore and use the site now I'm paying for it. For the upgrade I also get the pleasure of stat counters which are clearly nuts. In the time it took for some of the pictures to upload and me to get back to my photostream page (literally all of three seconds) they were registering to having had up to four views. Quite impressive eh? :S
 
Anyway, if you do fancy having a look at the pics they can be found here.

I was going to post my favourite ones here as a best of the bunch thing but I'll do that tomorrow now.

Oh, and if you do look at the pictures you may have to click on the view all sizes button at the top of each picture on the darker ones. Either that or use the look at them as a slideshow option to see larger versions. Actually the slideshow option is probably your best bet and you can still skim over the ones you don't want to see. A lot of them are quite dark and the detail is lost in the smaller versions.

Last minute


I'm leaving for Gothla shortly. As usual I've left packing until the last minute. Some things never change. I'm trying to psch myself up for spending 3 hours driving in the rain along the A47. I'm quite excited at the prospect of taking lots of portraits.

The woodpecker was back raiding the nut feeder this morning. Naturally it waited until the moment I'd attached my zoom lens to my camera before flying off. I will get a decent picture of it one day.

See you Sunday.

Plinth


I was browsing the BBC News website a few minutes ago and saw this story about Antony Gormley's One and Other project in Trafalgar Square which launched today. Basically, the project involves members of the public being given an hour on the empty plinth in Trafalgar Square to do as they please in the name of art. Antony Gormley explains more about the project in a video in this article here.

What a fantastic idea. I've applied for a place. It would be amazing if I got one. I think I'd dress up and go nuts performing a few songs. I've just watched a bit of the live streaming and am sure I could get a keyboard, amp and a microphone up there.

Website love

I've just spent about fifteen minutes on the Free Rice website. Have a go if you haven't already. It's strangely addictive and you get to donate rice to the hungry for free by playing too.  

Right, back to it. I want to get past level 44 this time.

Look what youtube threw up...


It's hilarious. There's so much to love in it. Particularly the frenetic group doggy paddle move and the bit nearer the end where he headbuts/motorboats her boobs. :)

Ooooh - "Pope's exorcist squads will wage war on Satan"

 "The Vatican is particularly concerned that young people are being exposed to the influence of Satanic sects through rock music and the Internet."

Ah, that old chestnut.

But seriously though, check out the size of his mitre.

Leading lines

 

I started a year long photography evening course three weeks ago. I thought I’d post some pictures I took for my class on Monday. They were taken on Sunday for the assignment we were given the previous week to take pictures using only the cameras auto settings (not great on my camera which is starting to behave erratically in its old age) in order to focus on taking a few pictures demonstrating the basic rules of composition. It was hard to resist the urge to change the camera settings and Photoshop the results I can tell you.
