This week’s challenge was to create a storyboard, composed of 3 to 9 pictures.
This is my first attempt, based on an initial idea. I may have another idea before the week is out – if not I’ll submit this instead.
Don’t laugh at my editing skills – I’m still a n00b at GIMP and so after adding the frames using a wizard in GIMP I booted into Windows and used Microsoft Publisher to stitch them together…
This week in Stu’s Tuesday Challenge we were asked to set a self-timer of 10 seconds, press the button, and get as far as from the camera as possible.
This is me riding my bike through the 1/3-mile long Staple Hill tunnel on the Bristol-Bath railway path.
It took quite a few attempts to get right, as I had no idea how far I could cycle from a standing start in 10 seconds – and I wanted to be in the perfect position where I was silhouetted against the light at the end of the tunnel, but not illuminated by it. I’m rather pleased with the result.
I also zoomed in a little, as (not wanting to sound boastful) ten seconds of cycling away from a camera without zoom would have made me a dot in the distance 🙂
This photo was taken in 1973. I’ve uploaded to demonstrate the quality of the Veho 35mm slide scanner I used.
I saw this elephant at Twycross zoo.
This is the brother of a friend of a friend. His name is Jonathan too. We met during a group outing to Twycross zoo. By my reckoning, he is the perfect stranger for Stu’s Tuesday Challenge.
This week’s challenge over at Stu’s blog was to recreate the famous Dali Atomicus. This is a pretty tall order, and having been ill all week, this is the best I could come up with.
The only part of this image that can possibly count as “photography” is the passport photo on the easel. I’m pulling a stupid face because my brother made animal noises outside the cubicle, made me laugh, and as such these photos were no good for my passport after all.
