No News

I went to check the BBC for the news today. Apparently there isn't any. Ho hum.

Micro Photography

Are these model people on a tiny beach?

Is this a photo of a model houses or real?

They're both photo's of real places i've been, but they've been edited to look as though they were taken with a 'tiltshift' lens, which seems to be the fashionable, quirky photoeffect on the interwebs these days. You can recreate the effect on Photoshop apparently, but this site allows you to make them in a few minutes on library pictures or your own...which is bad, because i'm finding it hideously addictive to do!

If you think the photos are cool, check out this guy's videos using the same technique.

Pure Awesome.

Instruction Manual

A sweet little animation that matches my own feelings on certain 'Instruction Manuals' that some people (not all, just a very loud minority) like to push on others.

Xmas Owls

For Xmas this year, me and my family went to an owl sanctuary to fly some of the birds. Here's some of the Pics:

Me and 'Kaln' the Eagle Owl. He weighed about the same as a couple of bags of sugar, so couldn't hold him up for too long.

he had a 5ft wing span, almost as tall as me standing. Quite nervy watching Kaln swoop down to attack your hand!

Those talons on display! We were wearing the wrong sort of gloves for handling the Eagle owl, his beak could go straight through the leather to get at your fingers.

We also flew a Barn Owl called 'Gizmo', but unfortuanately didn't think to take photos due to being distracted by the beautiful birds. It was a really fun and interesting night out and not the usual thing to do at Xmas, beats a boxing day walk anytime!

New Year's Resolution

To say this Blog has been neglected is a bit of an understatement!

New Year's Resolution: Keep this thing updated more often. Artwork in progress, general musings and stuff that I find entertaining will be coming soon...
