A quickie pic today - have an important-ish appointment tonight so this is another of the shots from Saturday.

In this case, the remains (or crumbs) of a tasty cheese and ham bagette from EAT.

I do hope they are reading this as it's one of my favourite food outlets so send me free stuff!!! Seriously, I love your food people and I will blog about it forever if you'll feed me from time to time.

Ok, begging over with.

Daily Photo #120

I think the grey skies yesterday foreshadowed a heavy snowfall last night of about 2 or 3 inches. The weather is so bloody cold again with artic winds but it's sunny and cheerful out so one cannot be too down hearted.

I shot this one yesterday in Brum, I desaturated parts of the image then went in and adjusted each pane of glass on the telephone box in turn. Took a while.

CS3 is pretty intuitive when it comes to "wanding" stuff, as if it can set parameters and repeat itself. Either Adobe have programmed a mighty fine AI into this software or I was extremely lucky when manipulating it, I don't know. Either way, CS3 rocks the house.

Anyway, it was grey, overcast and nasty yesterday and the only colours that stood out for me in this shot were the red of these slightly rare and (now) retro telephone boxes.

A bit of a crap weather day although lunch in EAT was rather yummy. If they hadWi-Fi in that place, I'd live in there.

I always thought this statue looked a bit sinister. Although, in the light of day it's more about pathos due to the large amount of big bird guano on its head.

The weather is a bit change-able with sleet and stuff approaching snow. Vastly different from what we had in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago and it seems like a million years have passed since getting back to blighty.

Le chat bleu!

There's something evil about my cat. Can't quite put my finger on it somehow?

US shenanigans.

Looks like I'm back in the US early June. If there are any NYC readers here who want to say hello, drop me a line.

I'm looking to shoot as much stuff as I can so a nice light weight tripod is on the shopping list right now.

Anyone know if my EOS 5D battery charger is compatible with US voltage?

I think I was a cat in a past life.
