Robbery

Alan's car was broken into in the early hours. The window (which had anti-smash-and-grab film on it) was ripped out. He had a Playstation (why?) fitted in the cubby. The dashboard was ripped to pieces. I feel for my boy!

Turned this upside down and liked the result

Maude... (Harold died).

When I get to know how to use 'Photoshop' I'm hoping to work wonders with this picture... Watch this space.

Running Out!

And the lamps which once lit up our street
No longer light the way
So we go to bed when the sun sinks low
'cause it's cold at night and the heat won't go
And the television studio closed down the other day

Power!

We are running out of hope,
and we are running out of love
And we're running out of everything that I've been dreaming of
And we are running out of oil,
we are low on light and air
And we're running out and digging holes and finding nothing there
It just ain't fair,
running out(You know we're running out)

Driving past sunflowers in the distance I took this shot and have tried to improve on it using Picasa

Random shots

Smoggy day driving to Sasolburg from Villiers. I set my camera, with telephoto lens zoomed in fully and just took random shots through the windscreen. I don't care about the clarity. All I want to do, for now, is see if the subject is interesting enough. I think that if some of the shots were "well taken" they might have been interesting shots.





Trying to get different photos to the ones I usually take.

Photos - Random - Practice

I've had my Olympus E400 10.0 megapixel SLR camera since August last year and although I've taken a lot of photos, I don't really know how to use the camera properly. I've decided to take random photos every day (at least one) and post them to my blog. Hopefully I'll see the difference as time goes by.
