I noticed I had 84GB of photos on my hard drive (ouch!) so I had a good old spring clean. I currently don’t take pictures in Raw purely because of the storage issue even though I should and want to. Now I have had a tidy I might give Raw a go and I’ll just have to get more savage with deleting pictures not used. While I was tidying I noticed there were some pictures from the past month or so that I liked that hadn’t yet appeared, just random things.

14 Organic cider. Not mine.

16 There are so many crows around here :o It’s called a ‘murder’ of crows isn’t it.

TTFN!

old?

Pretend old :) Just messing about. On the whole I don’t edit my pictures very much in Photoshop, mostly because I take many so I don’t have time, and I am trying to get the pictures themselves up to scratch. But sometimes it is interesting to experiment.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter! I am going to be in Berlin this weekend to celebrate my step-father’s 70th birthday. It’s a big gathering with people traveling in from all over for the celebrations, it promises to be a fun event. I should be back here early next week.

I loved reading the responses to the last post :) I sold a few things and so this week was able to justify buying a new lens for my Canon – the Canon EFS 15-85mm 3.5-5.6 IS USM lens. I will be trying it out in Berlin.

I was at a friend's house and he had some zoom lenses. I noticed that I could focus through them at either end to make little upside down intense pictures. That's all. Just something random :)
