Woo hoo, we have broadband! Its been a while in the making and all the politics that you need to do with the telecoms over here, but its done!

Here is a nice photo I took somewhere on the Thames. Someone suggested that rather struggle to get the perfect night shot, just wriggle the camera while its taking photo - and hey presto, a cool abstract piece of art - goes to the highest bidder!

Valentines Day

On the Thames, Valentines Day

** WARNING - PUKE FOLLOWS **

Well, we said that we wouldn't do anything, but how could I resist? Our first Valentines Day together, and hey, we're in London!

So I got tickets for a night on the Thames, dinner, wine, cruise, and a fat lady singing. It was really fun.

Got some great photos outside, was absolutely freezing so didn't take as many as I would like to have. I wish that I got some photos of the laser that shoots out of the observatory at Greenwich. Anyway you can google that an see it for yourself.

Water Photography Experiment

While looking around flickr at photos that people with my camera have taken I decided to look at the photos of the most popular camera. The photos were pretty impressive - there were some really nice ones of water, so I thought I'd give it a try!

These photos were taken with a shutter speed of 1/2000 of a second.
