Photos From Today.

I decided today that it was about time I experimented more with the manual settings on my DSLR as I haven't really done this so far, yes I know bad bad bad me. I'm still learning what all the different settings mean and I'm still mighty confused, but that is nothing new. Here are some of the shots I took today. With each photo I've mentioned if and what editing I did. I hope you like and as always thank you for popping by.




Titled: Callum
This photo I as per the others used flickr's picnik editing tool. I converted to B&W and then cross-processed it. I quite like how it turned out. If you want to see the original please visit here.




Titled: Life Lines of Autumn
With this photo I used flickr's picnik, the basic editing tools they have are quite good, I cropped, rotated, straightened and then framed the photo.




Titled: He Loves Me He Loves Me Not
Just framed on flickr's picnik, the basic editing tools they have are quite good.

Sky Watch Friday - Through A Child's Eye

Sky Watch Friday for this week is bought to you by my son Callum who is five years old and me. We haven't had the best of weather this week, no surprise there though for jolly old Blighty. Yesterday after a little bit of rain we did have some sunshine so I asked Callum if he'd like to go out in the garden and do a bit of cloud spotting with me (a great hobby that we share together). Sadly there weren't many clouds around but I did let Callum have control of my Olympus mju 760 point and click camera. Here's the results.

Also please visit the Sky Watch Friday blog where there are hundreds of links to lots of brilliant blogs participating in Sky Watch Friday too.

For some reason this reminds me of a handprint or if you look at it in a different angle a tall ship.

Aaah summer!

My budding photographer!

Somewhere up there is a bird. I promise there is!

Sky Watch Friday - Where Are You Travelling?

Words by Sarah White

Oh cloud where are you floating
Is far out to sea
Or the other side of the world

How quick will you be there
Or will you be like a slow boat to china
and slowly savour all the sights
Oh cloud where are you floating
Is just the tiny bit of sky above me now
Or is it everyone’s joy for you to be
I never thought there were so many shades of white
Until I saw the beauty of your sight
Is it warm up there near the sun or cold beneath the stars
Oh cloud tell us your story so far

Honest Sir I do have a good excuse for my late homework. You see my five year old son Callum has been a little so and so at bedtimes so the planned Friday evening Sky Watching I had planned didn't really happen as I was dealing with a screaming, crying, shouting, tantrumming little boy. Still I did manage to rush out and click a few shots last night and the other day I was trying a new take on shots with the sky in and with kids. So this weeks entry is a little bit of a mixed bag. Hope you enjoy.

Sky Watch Friday - Up In the Clouds

Please visit Skywatch Firday to see what we are all about and to view all the other wonderful Skywatch Friday blog entries they are well worth taking the time out to view.

This is my first week of Skywatch Friday, I hope you like what you see.


The last couple weeks have been a very hectic one for me, what with the end of the school term for my son Callum (his first year at school, boy has that flown by) and then his 5th birthday which the celebrations went on for days for. Still somehow I've managed to get a few clicks at the beautiful sky.

We had a mix bag of weather, torrential rain, beautiful sunshine then storm clouds. All these photos were taken from our back garden during Callum's 5th Birthday Party.
