  • Bean There memories

    One of the things I enjoy about putting my presentation slides for talks and workshops together is using my growing library of photos. I’ve pretty much stopped using other stock photos for my talks (well, 99% stopped). This afternoon I came across this great little set of photos I took at one of my few…

  • Afternoon at the park

    I took our kids off to the park yesterday afternoon and spent the time experimenting with my kit lenses some more. In good light, they actually work really well for me. I love the colour and contrast I get with the lenses, particularly my 18-55mm lens. I am really enjoying the wide angle stuff at…

  • Where to share photos

    My Flickr subscription comes up for renewal this December and while I am inclined to renew my subscription and see what Flickr does under Yahoo’s new leadership, I’m curious which of the photo sharing services available now are the better ones?​ I’ve considered 500px and while I get some pretty immediate feedback on photos I…

  • Morning Moon

    The Moon looked particularly enticing this morning and I grabbed my camera and tripod and rushed outside and took a couple photos. They’re not quite the huge Moon you often see from better zoom lenses but these came out ok. The rest of my Moon photos are here.

  • Birthday @UberEllis

    I do some work for Cerebra and I was at Cerebra’s offices when the staff gathered to celebrate Andre Ellis‘ birthday. Birthdays at Cerebra are great and I’ve only seen the office stuff. The staff gather in the kitchen area, sing happy birthday to the lucky birthday person and there is cake. Its a terrific…

  • UnifyPhotos and my disappearing Facebook Timeline

    When I read about a little app or set of scripts called UnityPhotos that could easily migrate Flickr photo sets to Facebook I was intrigued. Since Timeline rolled out I have wanted to flesh out my Timeline with older photo albums and this seemed like a great way to do it. Of course few experiments…
