Lunchtime walk around Brickfield Pond.

To stay true to the blog, above is today's very un-inspiring picture - it was however taken and uploaded today, as it should have been, however the picture below (which was taken just before midnight) very nearly spelled the end of the 365!



After a torrential day of rain (60mm) the garden pond is full and the temperature has shot up into double figures. The freshly filled pond is a live with the first keen frogs, calling away in the dark.

Positioning the camera for a low level shot, the level was a little lower than expected...... this is how a frog looks underwater without an underwater housing!!! Purple flashes on the screen indcated that the Gll and water do not go together well.

The camera was quickly taken indoors, the battery and card removed and dried, and a silica gel sachet stuffed in the battery compartment (I knew it was worth saving). The camera was then left in the airing cupboard overnight.

After 12 hours I couldn't wait any longer, and the camera was re-assembled, and amazingly still works!!!

So far (touch wood), the camera seems to be behaving.

Release your Inner Pepper.

I was struggling for an idea today, but rescue came whilst preparing tea - in the form of an orange pepper.

Seemed appropriate somehow as it describes work quite aptly!

New Toys :D

I ordered these on Saturday, and today the first two (of 3 parts) arrived. It was difficult not to just rip open the packaging and try it out, but I thought I'd grab a picture first.

On the left is a Gig T Pro 2.4GHz Wireless Timer Remote, and on the right an Integral SDHC Card USB reader. I can't wait to try the remote control, and will let you know how I find it.

I'm waiting for a new SD card, and the plan is to try out the Canon Hack Developers Kit; again, I'll post updates as I go on.

On the Edge

Aperture Priority f4.5 at 1/320 second, ISO 100 handheld

Taken for today's Daily Shoot project (assignment #443), however it didn't make the cut because I found the water in the bottom of the frame too distracting, however I actually prefer this picture to the one I did submit, as it helps both put the reeds in context, but also gives it movement and vibrancy.

The picture used for the @dailyshoot was this one:
