14th Jan. Back to work and it's a gloomy day.

Kitten · 14-01-2009, 20:31

Nicely composed shot Vix. I agree, today is gloomy for some reason. It's Cheets fault, he's made us all think of the word

Strange day today. 2 weeks in I’m a bit fed up. I was so enjoying getting to know my 400D better and actually making some real time for photography in my life and the bloody thing broke.

So I’m currently waiting for an update from the repair centre while struggling with the bridge camera, missing my 400D and desperately trying not to lose my motivation. My lens box (containing my new shiny nifty fifty) is glaring at me and my ideas book is getting stuffed with things I can’t do right now (at least I shouldn’t be stuck for inspiration in the future!!)

So for something fun for today and to celebrate the success of my spontaneous mobile shot yesterday, I flexed my lowly N95 camera and decided that I’d take a photo on my mobile today of the first thing that made me notice it in Liverpool city centre as I crossed over to Liverpool one this lunchtime. So here it is - parked near my work, outside the old Atlantic Tower hotel, now the Thistle on the Mall. It’s a bit noisy and the light wasn’t great, so I’ve gone for a starker image than the original.

Hey that's a really cool pic Kitten. And the bird one. Just shows that you don't need fancy kit to take a good shot

Barfmit - WHERE ARE YOUR PICS?

Vix - Feel the same today as it's my first day back after manflu too. Gloooomy!

Tis a good shot with a camera phone Kitten

Wednesday. The highlight of my recent Wednesdays is Bleach. Its a Japanese anime series about a school kid who takes the powers of a Shinigami (Death God). From then on the story unfolds. Its your typical anime. New threats come along, people get stronger, defeat bad guys, new threats. Its really entertaining with classic anime humour thrown in. Random chibi moments, breaking the 4th wall, etc. The guy here is Ichigo Kurasaki, the hero. He's holding his Zanpaktu, which is a sort of self aware sword. I need to get a new figure because theres this form, his Bankai form and his Hollow transformation form too. If you're not into anime you'll think I'm watching kids cartoons. If you are into anime you'll get my enthusiasm.

(Most recent intro - Intros being a very important aspect of anime series)

OK!

060109: How I feel after starting the new years resolution!

070109: Oil print I got for Christmas a couple of years ago off my brother

The proceeding photos are on my camera at home. Will definitely get them done tonight!

I don't know, it's funny. Some days you have to search and search for something that you can take a photo of. Other days, there's so much you can't capture it all.

Today was one of the former. I came out from work to discover this huge ship (I'm reliably informed that it isn't a boat) parked outside, and then, I discovered a local celebrity standing in front of it who just happened to have a copy of his new book on him. (Ok, maybe I had it and forced him to stand with it

).

Anyway, despite it being noisy and shaky from the cold, I'm posting this photo today to say ' Congratulations' to a good friend for all that he has achieved over the last few years, and in particular last year. I'm really proud of him, and I know that he is only going to get better. And what's more, he actually looks happy in this one!

I've seen that bloke around my house! Hehe cool photo

Kitten · 15-01-2009, 20:21

I know, he's a right weirdo

if only the flash had gone off!! In fact, iirc that's what you were laughing at, my inability to use a basic bridge camera in front of you
