Grey Weekend

It's been one of those grey raw days today - sky never clears, no sun but no rain either.

Never-the-less, it's been a busy day considering I was intending to rest and do not a great deal. I did the paper review on BBC Radio Humberside Andy Comfort's Sunday Brunch (this link lasts seven days only) between 10.00 and 12 noon today. This is just relaxed fun and a chat using the papers as a prompt. I got three out of five in the weekly news quiz he gives all his Sunday guests and despite some real technical problems the station was having, the programme went ahead using old fashioned DJ skills rather than the electronic all singing all dancing technical approach to modern broadcasting.

The BBC have an initiative called Britain in a Day. I've submitted a time lapse video to them (above), no doubt one of many thousands using a snapshot of my day. Have a look at the site, the result should be very interesting.

Have a great week ahead.

Madness on the Lawn

My other half is away for the weekend (well during the days anyway) so I thought I'd have a bit of fun while I was cutting the grass today and got my camera out as well as the lawn mower - I know how to party!

Here's the result:



Hope you enjoyed!

For the technical minded (I'm not) Canon 40D camera on a tripod 1 second exposures at 2 second intervals over a few minutes (as long as it took me to cut the grass) using a Canon TC-80N3 Timer Remote Control - then made up in Picasa and finally edited in Windows Movie Maker. Sky overcast facing north.

Timescapes

Without doubt this is one of most extraordinary clip of photography I've seen in many a year, take two and a half minutes and enjoy!
