A bit quiet around here....

Have we all given up?

Here's a picture of a pine cone on a wall. Took it for some homework of Imogen's but decided I quite liked it. 

Not likely to happen to me...

See this article. I know it's in the Daily Mail (and I feel dirty for linking to it) but the other news reports didn't have the photos. 

Challenge 8 - A home for the birds

16-85@16mm, f8, 1/1,250s, ISO 400

Want one!

Ok, so I'm definitely not looking for something to buy, and even if I were, I would not have thought that this would have been on my list of potential acquisitions.

However, my mind has been playing games with me, and, you know, I am really quite taken with the idea of doing massive panoramic photographs with multi-gigabit resolution.

This thingy:

It's too expensive, too cumbersome, too fiddly, the files are too large, it's just completely impractical.

But I want one. I really do. Too be filed in the draw marked "Dreams of Tilt and Shift Lenses and other Curios".

Challenge 8 - Some Photos

Not really had much inspiration with this one. Here's a few:

1. A "home" made by Verity for her Playmobil people. Experimented with the flash behind to try to give it some interest with mixed results.

2. Looking down at the road home. Taken from the Malvern Hills facing Worcester.

3. Click your heels together and say "There's no place like home!"

4. Number 37. 

Challenge 8 - Tom's first

Seem to have spent an inordinate amount of time standing in stations recently, waiting to go home. So these seemed apt.

A usual a favourite and a close runner up.

Challenge 8 - Home

Thought I'd go with something suitably vague, after Kev's rather specific challenge last time.

So...Home. Whatever the word means to you really: it can be a pictures of the interior/exterior of your home, it can be pictures which suggest various meanings of the word, it can be trying to capture the feeling of home...whatever takes your fancy.

Five pic limit, as much or little PS'ing as you like.
