Me and the ever so photogenic Pippa!
I was reading one of my photography magazines today and it said when photographing people in bright sunlight, try using your flashgun. Huh? says i. So i tried it and wow, what a difference it makes! It gets rid of the rather unflattering shadows and adds a bit of sparkle to the eyes too. So now i know.
Much as i love my Canon digital SLR camera and Canon HF100 HD camcorder, sometimes you just want something a bit more compact for casual snaps & clips. But at the same time you don’t want your causal snaps & clips to look like shit either. My previous compact camera was a Sony Cybershot T200 and it’s a brilliant snapper but the video wasn’t great. So i’ve upgraded to a Sony Cybershot T500 which is pretty much the same camera (though it goes from 8 to 10 megapixels) but it gains a 720 High Definition video recorder. Here’s my first test video with the camera:
I think it’s pretty good considering it came from such a tiny compact camera! Obviously it’s no replacement for a dedicated HD camcorder but it’s brilliant for something you can carry everywhere. Oh, and the photo’s ain’t bad either!

Summer – what summer? I was planning on doing some major photo taking this summer but so far not so good. The weather has been crap. We’ve got quite a few photo’s in the hallway that i want to replace so i’ve been trying to get a nice one of Pippa that shows off her love of toys!

Now i just need a really good one of Eiko …
Scones, Lemon & Coconut Cake and Madeira cake which i couldn’t photograph cos it was still in the oven!
Making the most of the British summer today, took some photos of the garden, Pippa and Eiko. I shot a little video as well which i’ll upload in a bit.

I am becoming a big big BIG fan of Little Boots! Bought their album 2 days ago and i can’t stop playing it. This is the Robotnik Remix of Stuck on Repeat which is the best song on the album by a mile – the original song is better than this remix but it’s still good.

You’re Pretty Fit
New Blog Theme
I’m fed up having other people’s blog theme designs, they never quite fit what i want and i never feel like they fit my personality so i think it’s about time i had a go at doing my own from scratch. Eek! (0)
You are a curious person, always in a state of awareness. Connected to all things spiritual, you are very in touch with your soul. You are wise and bright: able to reason and be reasonable. Occasionally, you get quite depressed and have dark feelings.
You have great vision and can be very insightful. In fact, you are often profound in a way that surprises yourself. Visionary souls like you can be the best type of friend. You are intuitive, understanding, sympathetic, and a good healer.
Souls you are most compatible with: Old Soul and Peacemaker Soul
