Photos of cones

As you can see, I’m a Macro fan.
I finally have a grasp of the aperture/shutter relationship function.
The really nice thing bout the Ricoh is how the shutter and Aperture are controlled with the dial and lever controls on the top of the camera.

Upon completing a two day camera class, I walked down to the local park and put my new knowledge to work.
These shots were taken with my Ricoh GX100.

Sydney Summer Storm: The video

Bit of live video, bit of time-lapse. Lot’s of lightning.
More sensitive viewers will appreciate my editing efforts. While I was cutting up the footage, I discovered that at one point I heard my voice exclaim ‘fuck that was close!’ on the soundtrack, so I cut the sound and overlaid thunder.

The cost of war to the North American people.

I never thought that the Iraq/North American war was about finding 'weapons of mass destruction' and this article is an interesting piece on the costs of this war.

Sydney Summer Storm

These are a couple of photos of a big storm that rolled in over where I live on Tuesday 26th of feb.
Both are panoramas, and the dark one ‘broke’ Photoshop Elements and didn’t blend properly, but I liked the effect and decided to post it anyway.
Video to follow when it finishes uploading.
