When you desaturate it a little bit in Lightroom. What? This: Amy Hughes from 365project posted up a new challenge earlier today, for a bunch of us to take a shot of a common object, and see how varied the results would be. I had a bit of a crazy idea and ended up with [...]
I’ve just been awoken, for the third time in recent memory, in the early hours of the morning, by my computer deciding to play the YouTube-based music video I’d left open in a browser tab, all by itself, for no reason. Well, I say “for no reason”, but that reason can only possibly be “because [...]
1280 x 1024!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haha DYSWIDT?!?!?!!?1 etc But no, really. I don’t “do” New Years Retributions because they’re generally done in mawkish ways by mawkish sorts and abandoned inside of January… and why only decide to reboot yourself once per year? Stop being mawkish. What’s in a name anyway? A new year’s just another day; why [...]
Picture the scene: you picks up your mobile phone, and you dials in a specific class of number, usually free from a land line – an 0800, say. Now perhaps other networks are different but, with Orange, you presses dial and the first thing you’s greeted with is a lovely little pre-recorded message; You’ll be [...]
Had an idea today – how about shining a torch onto the back of my finger, and actually painting with my finger? Light shining through, maybe I’d be able to paint with fingerprints being visible!? Well, my mini maglite torches weren’t bright enough to shine through my fingers strongly enough for that. So I just [...]
Bokeh. Pronounced “bow-key” (ish) it’s a word I find enormously phonetically annoying which means “stuff in a photograph what ain’t in focus, like”; technically speaking, of course. Well, specifically, points of light/colour which aren’t in focus, oft-times looking similar to this: Well, that’s all well and good, but it’s rather boring. Luckily, due to some [...]
A while ago Ireland made offending religious beliefs a crime. Now, a court over there has awarded a six year old boy, who was wrongly accused of stealing a bag of crisps from Lidl, £7,500 in damages for defamation of character. A six year old. Defamation of character. A six year old. Character. Defamation. Of. [...]
Went for a wander around, as I hadn’t been out the house in a wee while. There’s nothing particularly spectacular but still, the shots are located hither. This, in case your name’s Steve Love and you’re wondering where it is, is on the way up to Devil’s Dyke.
I was moseying around those “internets” things today, as one does, when I happened across the following little “motivational”, as they are known: A kid pointing a gun at another kid! “Pretty amusing shocking”, I thought, and decided to check if it was actually real. Slapping the address into Google Maps and dropping down to [...]
Fresh from my second failure at taking photos of liquids splashing, I decided to try my hand at something, while still experimental, definitely a little easier: strapping my camera to something in my car and doing long exposure night-driving shots! I figured the passenger seat headrest would be a good bet, and bolted the 10-20 [...]
