Why I Won’t Use Flickr

Ven — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 23:02:37 +0000

As much as I would like to use Flickr to show off photo snaps like those over at ShutterCookies.co.uk however yet again unacceptable terms placed on uploaded content, i.e. your carefully crafted photos poncery, make it a no go. This is from Yahoo’s terms of service linked to from Flickr and essentially means once you’ve uploaded a photo Yahoo will forever, even after deletion (“irrevocable”), have rights to do anything they like with your works for any purpose they deem fit. Uuuum… no.

Alpha Blues Gig, Leeds Uni [Photopost]

Ven — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 20:44:21 +0000

Sunday night was the Alpha Blues charity gig at Leeds Uni put on by Steffi Bontoft.

These are my snaps from the night using a shiny lens with a nice big aperture to try and capture the feel of the event without whiting everything out with a flash. Make sure you click the More link below to see all the photos (unless you came here from the Twitter / Facebook link in which case you can already see them).

Behold! Photos! ^__^ Click a photo to see it larger.

Macro Garden

Ven — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 23:49:09 +0000

Playing with some new macro lenses on a sunny afternoon (between turning burgers and sausages on a short-notice BBQ – with luck the first of many of the year!). The grass and a bush waiting for it’s foliage to return seemed like as good a thing as any to experiment with.

As ever commenting is open

Photos – Yet more snow!

Ven — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 21:22:18 +0000

A little more snow appeared over night – still impeding many methods of transport, but the day appears to have calmed a little as it’s worn on. Despite what the weather folk say I expect the snow to be less of a problem the next few days. Shall retract that if I’m wrong

Anyway guess what! I took more photos! What a surprise! A house over the road made for a nice sunset pic as Sol beat it’s retreat.
