More experiments with depth-of-field.

Aperture Priority

Think I’ve finally managed to take a picture with my D-SLR, where the object in the foreground is sharp and the background is blurred. Need to do some more experiments.

Might even go on a Canon training course.

Pictures of Laos and Cambodia

I’ve uploaded the pictures from Laos and Cambodia onto Flickr.

A friend sent me a link to this lodge in Cambodia.

Tor in Pembrokeshire

I climbed up it and scared myself a bit coming down, as it was wet.

Parkinson

Last night’s Parkinson show was genius. Everybody, apart from David Beckham, was fascinating or funny or had something to say. D.B was about as interesting as dried paint. Billy Connoly, Caine, Attenborough - all superb.

This gets me onto another subject - people who write auto-biographies (and biographies) when they are still in their twenties. They haven’t lived their lives yet - I might be interested to hear about them when they are fifty or more. I don’t want to read about the Beckhams or Katy Price etc. It’s commercialism gone rife.

I’ll miss the Parkinson show. Remembering Billy Connoly or Rod Hull/Emu brings back fond memories.

Some pictures of a robin have been uploaded to Flickr.

Adventures with new D-SLR camera

Using my Macbook - I haven’t quite figured out how to reduce a 6MB picture into a reasonable web-size (< 100k) and quality yet, so these pictures are tiny!

San Francisco

Well - I bit the bullet and flew out to S.F. L.A was not my cup-of-tea really. Far too superficial - Hollywood, Beverly Hills etc.I’m now staying in quite a trendy hotel - my room is bigger than my old flat in Worcester. And the exciting news - we felt an earthquake (5.6 on the scale) that was in San Jose here. The room rumbled for about 10 seconds, bit like a big truck going by.
