This afternoon I put my camera in Aperture priority mode with the following settings. f8 ISO-A (automatic ISO) Minimum shutter speed 1/125 Maximum ISO 3200 My thoughts being that the camera would select the minimum shutter speed first (right brain logic) and adjust the ISO up to 3200 to get...

25th September In a bid to get a grip on candid street photography I went and sat in a food hall and had a cup of coffee while snapping a few unsuspecting members of the public. I love the first subject but it could have been sharper. The second guy wasn't even in my mind but I saw him right on...

Just found this site. Some amazing tours here and some astounding photos. Made me realize once again how truly good some photographers are. Enjoy! About - Pixelchrome Photography Tours ? Sharing the World One Country at a Time I see there are 2 spots left for New Zealand

24th September I moved back to Hamilton from the Coromandel today - that house sit came to an end as the lady of the house had a mild heart attack and they cancelled the rest of the trip. I am back with my flat mate - the one with the nice eyes. She has recently been in hospital and has a few...

Two more … Candids taken with a 70-300mm Late afternoon so ISO was fairly high but I like the effect on both photos.

23rd September OK so this is a miss but I still like it. I like the way the dog fits in (and he is in perfect step with the horse, I like the blur and man I like that bum! I'll let you think about it while I go have dinner and then process some other photos. There are 3 bums and I am not...

Hope you can spot him!

Another one - not bad but still not quite what I was hoping.

@Vixen another version.

22nd September I want to stretch myself more than I have been and I saw something in this - although not quite sure what. I think I nearly captured what I "saw". I'm not explaining myself too well because I …… of forget it!

21st September I set off to do some motion blur - never having really tried it before. I think it is something I would enjoy doing and improving at. Anyway little old Coromandel village is not the most active spot in the world on a Sunday evening but I thought if anywhere there may be...

Bacon in the making …. Heres the little 6 day old fellow I was talking about. Isn't he just the cutest?

20th September Election day in New Zealand. Tomorrow we will have a different tail wagging a different dog or we will have much the same and life will go on. I went back to one of the places that really intrigues me. There is just junk and crap all over the show and hundreds (nay millions)...

Yay …. my fave is back! But so sort to hear about the pet problems. Big hug that all goes well and we will see photos of them romping all over the place again. Just so we know you are ok @wud

19th September Righto took some photos for the photography course and then remembered I needed something here too! This little fella was chucking rocks at a building site I visited. Not at all fussed or even interested in the camera!

Black and white version

sorry should have straightened it.

18th September I took only one photo today - that in itself is unusual. At first I was thrilled with the photo in terms of subject but disappointed with the background distractions. But in street photography you sometimes have to take what you get. In the end I am very happy with what I have...

Does anyone use Just Cloud as a backup/storage solution? I have a 1GB account with them which I haven't activated - given to me for hosting some sites with Hostgator (that's an affiliate link - hope I haven't contravened the rules here) I am looking for some off site storage/backup facility...

17th September A bit of a mixed bag today.
