Photo mosaics
A friend of mine has just completed a project to design a computer program that will generate photo mosaics. She has now launched a survey to collect opinions on what makes the ‘best’ mosaic. Have a go at the survey – it’s interesting and will help her with her project. It comes in four parts,Continue reading “Photo mosaics”
Forced perspective
This week’s Photo Challenge was on the theme of Perspective. Perspective. Think about the appearance of things relative to one another as determined by their distance from the viewer. For example objects nearer to the viewer appear bigger than objects which are far away, and straight lines leading away from the viewer (such as roads)Continue reading “Forced perspective”
Takeoff!
Today’s sunshine found Hana and me on the Downs for a picnic. As usual I brought the camera and managed to snap this photo of a bird taking off. Unfortunately it’s not in perfect focus because the autofocus on this Tamron 70-300mm lens can only be considered fast by glacial standards. Fortunately, this cyclist passedContinue reading “Takeoff!”
Royal Fort Garden
At lunchtime today I went for a walk in Royal Fort Garden. It was the first really summery day of the year, and a lovely day to eat lunch outside. These daffodils are in front of the physics building (left) and Royal Fort House (right). This robin was very tame. Given that I was satContinue reading “Royal Fort Garden”

He wanted a banner-shaped image for the site header, and so we went for a walk around the churchyard to find something that might suit that format. There was nothing particularly suitable due to theContinue reading “St Paul’s Church”

No, I’m not savvy to some leaked press release or anything like that. But I was wondering the other day how long it might be before we see a Google sat nav device on the market. Think about it – they already have maps of most of the world and software that is capable ofContinue reading “Google sat nav?”
The Church of England
My youngest brother will soon be sixteen, which means he will have come of age in the eyes of the Church of England. He was given a form to register on the church’s electoral roll, meaning he can attend and vote at PCC meetings, and probably entitles him to hold other positions of responsibility too.Continue reading “The Church of England”
Pink flowers
Sorry, I’m useless at names of flowers. But these are pretty, and I like the depth of field from my new lens 🙂
It’s spring!
This is the back of Osborne Villas, as seen from the tops of the buildings on Woodland Road. This chap was sitting on a bench in Brandon Hill park one lunchtime, reading. Hana thought it was me! Slightly offended – that guy was probably in his 60s and bald with glasses. Perhaps Hana needs glassesContinue reading “It’s spring!”
