With the help of a neat little application called PictoBrowser, I’ve tarted up the page with my Flickr photos. PictoBrowser should work even if you prefer reading the site with one of the old themes, but to get the full effect of my redecorating, you need to be using the ‘scallop‘ theme.

Digiscoping and Lomography
22 February 2007 – 11:17 pm
I was looking back at some of my old digiscoped pictures yesterday.
‘Digiscoping’ is the trick of using your birding telescope as very high-powered telephoto lens. At the simplest level, you just hold the camera up to the eyepiece and shoot through the scope; to get the best results you need more sophisticated equipment. You could [...]
FSotW: Stereographic Projections
17 February 2007 – 2:24 pm
Flickr set of the week is Stereographic Projections by Seb Przd. I don’t understand the details of how these are made, but he starts with a panorama and applies some kind of mathematical wizardry to it. As always, click on one of the photos to go to the page on Flickr.

Wasp nest super close-up
30 June 2006 – 2:34 pm
We finally had enough sun to make photography a bit easier. Here’s another wasp nest close-up. It’s striking how different the colours look on a sunnier day.

I forgot to say, you can see a (fairly large) selection of my Spain photos here.
Macro
22 April 2006 – 1:43 pm
I love the fact my camera has a macro mode. There’s something very satisfying about getting really close to things and taking pics of them.
The sand dunes are just covered in flowers - vetchy type things in scarlet, spikes of ghostly broomrape, mesembryanthemums, pink thistles, big daisies, all sorts of things in all shapes and [...]
Sparrowhawk
1 April 2006 – 12:28 pm
I was absently looking out the window and realised that a bit of a kerfuffle was a sparrowhawk taking one of the pigeons. Female this time, so she’s bigger and browner than the last s/hawk in the garden. By the time I had my scope and camera ready, she dragged the pigeon behind a bush, [...]

Magnum photo-essays
21 December 2005 – 11:46 pm
Magnum in motion has photo essays with audio commentary. The only one I’ve watched is the ‘Inner-City Youth, London’ one - which I would certainly recommend. I found it via GRIMETIME. I’ve downloaded a few grime tracks recently; it was PopText that started me in that direction by posting a few tracks from the [...]
Flickr interesting photo meme
12 November 2005 – 11:41 pm
Well, it’s not actually a meme unless anyone copies the idea, but hey-ho. Or at least, I guess technically it still is a meme, just an unsuccessful one. Don’t get me started on evolutionary theory.
Search Flickr for photos tagged with your first name. View them ordered as ‘most interesting’. Post the most interesting photo to [...]
