PhotoChallenge 3

Cat in leaves.

It's been an eventful few weeks, for my photography at least. Firstly, I managed to leave my camera on the bus. Yes, I realise I'm an idiot. Trust me, I really do realise it. It didn't manage to turn back up, despite checking at Wynyard Station (where I left it), and with the depot. If anyone sees a lost Canon 400D wandering around, send it back home, please?

So I bought a replacement over Christmas; a very shiny new Canon 40D, which I'm still learning to use. We got back from family celebrations in Perth, all ready to get processing... and my computer died.

Apple have informed me that as my desktop is five years old, it's a 'vintage' model and they're not allowed to repair it, or even offer advice. A friend has chipped in with some helpful suggestions, so hopefully between us we can get it back up and running. For the moment, my little laptop is valiantly trying to run Lightroom for me, brave little camper that it is.

Hopefully nothing else 'interesting' happens before the next challenge!

PhotoChallenge 2

Dandelions.

I'm back! They've finally fixed my internet tubes, so I can bring you my second PhotoChallenge image, in response to Xole's picture here.

We are experiencing technical difficulties...

I'm temporarily internet-less at home, hence the radio silence. (Well, it's been nearly a fortnight now; does that still count as temporary?)

While we're waiting for our phone company to get off their bums, Xole has posted a response to my Photochallenge: you can see it here.

Hopefully I'll be back soon!

PhotoChallenge 1

seeI was at a loose end after NaNoPhoMo. I don't have time, or the physical stamina, to do a daily image at the moment. I would like to keep posting on a regular basis, though - but what to post?

Then the beautiful & extremely talented Xole came up with a suggestion. PhotoChallenge.

I'll post an image, and she will have a week to make their own image in reply. I'll then have a week to reply to hers, and so we go on. We'll make up the rules as we go along, if we need them, but I suspect we won't.

Fascinating idea, yes?

So here is the first image.



Thunderstorm over Fijian seas.

Let's see where we go from here.
