The Middle Way

Here’s another (sort of) photogram. This time I just kept the colours. They are, of course, Buddhist Mala Beads. Background is the same t-shirt as the last Photogram.

Photogram

I always look through photography books from the library, and I’ve been toying with this sort of thing for a while. I thought I’d try one – it’s a pen and my Camera’s USB link. Scanner is a Canon Flat Bed, with a T-shirt over it (I don’t have a transparency-scanning hood). Photograms were first created by William Henry Fox Talbot. Here’s his Wikipedia entry.

More Private Castles

Cue “Gone with The Wind” theme!

Your Majesty’s carriage awaits…(grovel)

I’ve said elsewhere in this site that a man’s/woman’s home is his/her castle. Here’s a couple more that I’ve found.
I’m impressed by the Elizabethan Garage on one…

“…farther than any man…”

As I promised in my other Website, “Views From The Street”, here’s a few of the pix I took at Port Adelaide yesterday, of the replica of Captain Cook’s barque, “Endeavour”.
For more information on the ship, and what it’s doing, visit the website here.
The Wikipedia entry for Cook is here.

The last steam tug? Possibly.

The sail training ship, “One And All”.

“Endeavour” and “One And All”

Note the almost flat bow!

Rear view. Obviously!

Gone But Not Forgotten!

We saw our good friend, Jessie, leave Radio Adelaide on Friday, because she has to concentrate on her University Studies (good girl!).
Here’s some of the pix before we all went to the pub!
Needless to say – there are no pix taken after we got to the pub!

I Love a Parade! Australia Day 2012

Yes I do love a parade, and this year’s Australia Day Parade through Adelaide was special because our Niece, Marianne, was leading the Fiji contingent.
And we were surprised at the number of different ethnicities in Adelaide, and not all of them were represented - so next year the Parade should be even bigger!

Apart from the first 6 or so pix, the rest are in no particular order, as I can’t remember!

Proclamation Day

Proclamation Day 28th December, is when South Australians celebrate the founding of our Colony, and we also relish the thought that we were always a colony of free settlers and NEVER a penal colony. So the Eastern States can just “suck that up”!

Burnside Village

On my other blog – Adelaide Times – I mentioned the Burnside Village Shopping Centre. Here’s a few HDR pix I took today.
I’ve included a pic of the scale bugs on the tree outside. I thought they were interesting.

‘Twas The Month Before Christmas

And all over Adelaide, things were starting to tinsel up. A few days later, on December 23rd, Adelaide was really getting the Christmas spirit!

Trust

I’ve decided to start a gallery of my attempts at “arty stuff”. I firmly believe that modern digital photography and its associated programs like Photoshop etc. are a natural progression from other media, such as watercolours, oils, etc.
Please be patient as it will take some time to get a proper representation uploaded!
