Lights of Manchester Town Hall
It was a trick I discovered in Sydney’s town hall. When faced with a dark building interior, take photos of the lights from below. The results are fantastic.
Capturing an Indescribable Quality
I have started taking more photos on settings other than the comfortable, forgiving, automatic or program modes.
Manchester
I had never visited Manchester before. Manchester is city to the north of England and one steeped in history. Even with such a rich past, I know the city more through its modern place in culture - a place of music and as a counter-point to an all too often London centric country.
English Language
I stared at this metro poster for minutes before understanding the intended meaning. I only paid attention because the organisation teaches English and I felt I should understand the text.
Insects and Manual Focus
I have started playing with manual focus on the Canon PowerShot SX700. It is not the first camera I have had with this control but it is a feature I rarely use.
A Goat in Lyon
It is not everyday we see a goat in the centre of Lyon. This goat was tied up alongside a cafe.
Excessive Zoom
I have been wanting to settle down and write something useful about the Canon PowerShot SX700. My schedule has not allowed it this month. So a few recent photos will have to tide the topic over for a while.
Scottish Highlands by Train
During our trip to Scotland we took the train from Glasgow to Fort William, and then up to Mallaig. The scenery is stunning.
Making Movie Splitter
Movie Splitter was accepted into the Mac App Store. That was a good moment. One Megan and I have yet to properly celebrate; traditionally, launches require a decadent slice of chocolate cake or another treat.
Macabre Marseille
I did not expect to see such a macabre collection of artefacts: skulls, mummies of various animals, and shrunken human heads. The items were all on display in Marseille’s Centre de la Vieille Charité.
