2005-06-01.jpg
01 - CompactTaken with the Tamron 28-75. I've taken photos of nearly everything else I own, so why not a shot of the digicam that started it all? My trusty S40 is still going strong, 3+ years after first getting it... but seems damn strange to use after using a 20D for so long ;o)
2005-06-02.jpg
02 - Fractal FineryTaken with the Sigma 50mm. A macro shot of part of a feather that blew into the house and caught my eye. Accidental finds rule :o)
2005-06-03a.jpg
03 - Oil #1Taken with the Sigma 50mm. Three shots today, coz they're all on a similar theme, and all are so colourful that I wanted to share the lot! This one is a macro of the oilslick floating on top of one of the pans in our sink, coz one of my housemates is being a lazy slob and hasn't washed it up yet :o)
2005-06-03b.jpg
03 - Oil #2Taken with the Sigma 50mm. A macro shot of the light reflecting off an oil bubble.
2005-06-03c.jpg
03 - Oil #3Taken with the Sigma 50mm. Another macro shot of the oil bubble.
2005-06-04.jpg
04 - Cartoon JuneTaken with June's Peleng 8mm fisheye. While borrowing the lens to shoot Bodiam Castle, I managed to grab this great little candid moment :o) Fisheye's rule!
2005-06-05.jpg
05 - Walking ByTaken with June's Canon 10-22. A long exposure shot in Greenwich Market, taked during the 4th London DPC GTG. I tried a few shots like this, panning the camera to track people walking past, and this shot was by far the most successful.
2005-06-06.jpg
06 - Doughnuts, Night & DayTaken with the Tamron 28-75. Just a shot of the top of a Krispy Kreme box, with some fun with semi-inverting half of it :o) There are only a handful of Krispy Kreme places in the UK so far, but it just so happens there's a drive-thru one just a few miles down the road from me... I can see myself going there more often ;o)
2005-06-07.jpg
07 - Abstract EdgeTaken with the Sigma 50mm. An abstract-looking macro shot of something... :o)
2005-06-08.jpg
08 - Bubble FieldTaken with the Sigma 50mm. Yet another macro shot, this time of the CO2 bubbles in my glass of Irn-Bru (hence the vivid orange colour).
2005-06-09.jpg
09 - FlirtTaken with the Tamron 28-75. A semi-macro shot of an embroidered logo.
2005-06-10.jpg
10 - Banana TaquitoTaken with the Tamron 28-75. Chiquito's for lunch, and this is their famous 'Banana Taquito' - banana, wrapped in tortilla, deep-fried, dunked into fudge sauce, and accompanied by ice-cream with caramel sauce. Tasty :D
2005-06-11.jpg
11 - Into the Eye of the CameraTaken with the Tamron 28-75. A crash zoom shot of a previous photo of mine which was displayed upon my desktop's LCD screen.
2005-06-12.jpg
12 - Red & BlackTaken with the Sigma 50mm. You'll never guess what on earth this was a shot of :o)
2005-06-13.jpg
13 - Through The Tinted Looking Glass(es)Taken with the Tamron 28-75. Since the sun was shining, and the clouds interesting, I just held my sunglasses up to the sky and took a shot through them. There's a bit of distortion, since these are prescription sunglasses, but otherwise it works well :o)
2005-06-14.jpg
14 - Alien EggsTaken with the Sigma 50mm. If you've not worked it out yet, this is a macro shot of the surface of a strawberry, but with a hue rotation to give that other-worldly feel.
2005-06-15.jpg
15 - X-Ray Vision?Taken with the Tamron 28-75. No, not X-Rays, just a long exposure shot of the TV (yes, I can't think of anything better!)...
2005-06-16.jpg
16 - Dim LightTaken with the Tamron 28-75. I didn't know where I was going with this shot, but like where I ended up :o)
2005-06-17.jpg
17 - T-Shirt Ninja!!!Taken with the Tamron 28-75. Watch out for their lethal zoomblur attacks! :o) If you too want to become a t-shirt ninja, check this page out...1 comments
2005-06-18.jpg
18 - Seeing The LightTaken with the Tamron 28-75. I have seen the light! And it doesn't scare me! :D
2005-06-19.jpg
Father & SonTaken with the Tamron 28-75. One of my ex-housemates with his son, at our BBQ this afternoon.
2005-06-20.jpg
20 - Green GlowsTaken with the Canon 70-200. A long exposure shot, with a twisting crash zoom, and a bit of camera movement too :o)
2005-06-21.jpg
21 - Golden CurvesTaken with the Tamron 28-75. Naturally lit, exposure comp lowered, rotated, cropped, and uploaded. Sometimes you have to do very little to get (what I consider to be) a fascinating abstract image. Maybe I should shoot at night more often...
2005-06-22.jpg
22 - Cheery ChappyTaken with the Tamron 28-75. While waiting for my Medium Format films to finish printing at the lab, I wandered around Camden for a while, looking for interesting shots. While shooting some watersplash shots, this complete stranger came up to me and asked me to take his photo, so naturally I obliged :o)
2005-06-23.jpg
23 - Deranged Comets?Taken with the Canon S40. Shot very much handheld whilst driving to Stansted Airport, and it's not easy to steer & shoot at the same time, definitely not recommended :o)
2005-06-24.jpg
24 - Spinning The WheelTaken with the Canon S40. While waiting for our London Eye ride, I took a couple of shots, including this one which I'd set on F8 (the smallest ap the S40 does) and rotated the camera during the exposure.
2005-06-25.jpg
25 - HappinessTaken with the Tamron 28-75. A cutesy shot of myself and June, which was harder to set up than it may appear, since balancing a camera on a tripod on a bed's mattress with two people on it can be tricky... :o)
2005-06-26.jpg
26 - Exotic BeautyTaken with June's Canon G1. A quick snapshot of June, shot in the Thai restaurant that Kavey had taken us to. The flower was a piece of decoration that we "borrowed" ;o)
2005-06-27.jpg
27 - 1st GearTaken with the Sigma 50mm. Just a nice and simple macro shot of the gearstick of my car :o)
2005-06-28.jpg
28 - ChelseaTaken with the Canon S40. While walking to the office along the Kings Road, I saw this avenue of trees leading down to a house at the other end of the square, and naturally took a shot :o)
2005-06-29.jpg
29 - Offworld ApartmentsTaken with the Canon S40. A silly hue rotation on a shot of an old apartment complex near the office.
2005-06-30.jpg
30 - Pole ClimberTaken with the Canon S40. A BT engineer was up one of the telegraph poles just outside my house this morning, so I quickly grabbed my camera out of my bag and snatched this shot.
