On the way to Malaysia ... I've been flying since I was 6 months old and so it has no joy for me anymore. Infact, I wish I could just MAGIC myself to my destination ...

Experimenting ... looking for textures and trying to take photos that are a bit more abstract.

(Street light through the textured glass in the front door).

I visited my friend Jen today, and took this photo as I was leaving her place ... number 13 not so unlucky for some I guess ;)

No, this isn't my engagement ring. We still haven't found one I like - or that fits - but this is the one I was wearing round the New Designers private view tonight.

You can't see the big gap between the ring and my finger at the bottom - I have to clamp it with the other two adjacent fingers to keep it from turning upside down, or falling off!

In London, staying in a hotel (yes ...we had PLENTY of people to stay with, but college was paying for Sunshine to be here), for New Designers.

View out our window - and what you can't see, which is directly below if you look out that window is the tube tracks. No sound proofing. 5am starts.

We highly WOULDN'T recommend anyone staying there ...

Picture 100!

So, OK, its not a great photograph, but it does show how far I've got in understanding the workings of the camera...

You see here (taken on the Ixus on timer) my little mini studio we've set up to take photos of teeny tiny pieces of children's jewellery for a friend. She needs them for a catalogue (which I'm also doing the layout for).

Tiny pieces of silver require a macro lens, a remote trigger (in my hand) to reduce camera shake, a flash (on the tripod) to light the things clearly; with a diffuser (here the back end of a washing up liquid bottle!) to soften the shadows. And of course lots of white card/paper to block out background and reflect all the light ...

Phew ... hard work ...

ps see the photo in flickr as it has a lot of notes!

There's a lovely old dockside crane by the river near the Redcliffe caves. I walk past it a lot and have always wanted to take a photo. Not the best shot in the world - you'll notice I've had to resort to sunshine's old Canon Ixus V (2.1 Mega Pixels!!!) since the S3IS died ...
