Photos of things

Recommended Posts

OH GOD I forgot I like taking pictures. I just went and looked at my Flickr account and man that's some fun stuff (although not necessarily good). Most of my photos are no longer available, because my pro account has lapsed, but I plan to renew soon so ALL will be available (including the thousands of billions of hundreds of Japan photos that are mostly awful because that's where I first started learning how to not take awful pictures - I plan to clean that out some day... somehow). Also, I can't link the super-big-size photos, but that's fine. Oh well. I'll randomly pick and choose some craps that I especially like from olden times. Maybe you guys will enjoy them. X:

Enough text time for pitchers.

As you can see, I like sunsets/sunrises. BUT WHO DOESN'T. U:

I really want to start PHOTO'ING again. I'd also like to take a class, maybe, to learn a lot of the basics that I never learned. Mostly, just what the fuck is an f-stop. That sort of thing. U:

Sweet, love those sunsets — especially the last one. I also enjoy thinking that some hilariously drunken guy accidentally walked into the water with his kebab and sank, leaving only his kebab.

Sorted out some food shots from Leeds:

Haha, awesome. I didn't even spot the crab for a moment, the little shit. Puts me right off walking on beaches.

Here are my Leeds museum shots, or at least half of them (plus a few of the hotel room):

All I have is my itty bitty iPhone camera but here are two I took that I've always liked.

When you posted pics of that festival, I thought, "That looks like Chapeltown Festival at Potternewton Park", but also thought that can't be it. Then you posted Leeds museum pics... so was it Chapeltown Festival?

Haha, no it was actually Nottingham's Caribbean Carnival. Fairly similar I gather? ;)

Went to the UK's biggest zoo (AFAIK) last week, took a crazy amount of photos but the red pandas (also known as the firefox) were the highlight — holy shit these things are cute and hilarious to watch.

Here's are couple of pics from our trip to Lapland a few weeks ago.

Taken by my wife with Canon Powershot G11. I can't take pictures so she has the credit for these.

I'm the guy in the 3rd picture, I just like the edge of the world feeling in that picture. :)

When I moved to college my parents made me get rid of the majority of my game magazine collection, among the magazines I trashed was a 99% complete collection of Nintendo Power magazines from the first issue to around the Gamecube release.

I did go through each issue however and remove all the pull out posters, so this has got to be just about all of them from 88-2000.

That is such a splendid photo. Looks cold as knackers.

Here is a cat:

Potentially getting stuck at work day!

It's unlikely, though. It only started snowing an hour or so ago, and not heavily:

If the station's going to close, it generally happens in the morning. I've never yet been stranded at work.

To be fair, it's not like we just gut it out. You need a big infrastructure to deal with snow (tires with studs, tons of people operating vehicles with snowplows to keep the roads clear etc.). You need to have all that stuff prepared and it probably wouldn't make much sense in Britain.
