Intimate lemon

February 3rd, 2008

Looking like something captured by an endoscope, it’s actually just half a lemon (with a bit of processing in Paint Shop Pro).

Hidden stars

January 30th, 2008

It’s amazing how many more stars the camera picks up then the human eye. Here’s a shot straight from camera, which is more or less how it looked to the eye.

Here’s the same shot (cropped a little) processed to bring out the fainter stars. Of course it helps if you’re in an area with low light pollution from street lights etc. I took this in Snowdonia.

Added some shots taken in Snowdonia to my main gallery here.

Guildford Cathedral

December 29th, 2007

Some shots of the cathedral and nearby University of Surrey.


Looking like a sort of amphitheatre enclosed by a wall, this is a view looking vertically up the side of the cathedral from within an arched recess.

Electric blue

December 28th, 2007

Playing around in Paint Shop Pro I added a bit of drama to these shots of an electricity sub-station.

Range cat mod’s

December 26th, 2007

This has to be the most affectionate cat I’ve met. A regular visitor to the golf driving range, it goes from one mat to the next, rolling on its back waiting for a tummy rub. It makes it rather tricky to hit the golf balls without whacking the cat! Having my pocket camera with me, I resigned to just photographing it for a while. The shots were pretty mediocre so I played around with them in Paint Shop Pro. All except the first one are clickable.

To France

December 26th, 2007

Proving that the local council have a sense of humour. Taken on the seafront at Bognor Regis.

Useful graffiti

December 26th, 2007

If only all graffiti was this helpful! Taken at a temple in Thailand.

Relaxed hygiene

December 26th, 2007

This restaurant in Thailand had a somewhat relaxed approach to hygiene! (Or was this the “dish of the day”?)
