I think someone had a fireworks party in the park the other night: One of the things I’m really enjoying about doing NoNoNoNo is all the playing with The Gimp I’ve been doing. Pretty much every photo I’ve posted has been photoshopped in some way – some just a bit of cropping or colour adjustment,…
It rained last night.
Some creative photoshopping (actually The Gimp-ing, but it doesn’t make as good a verb) on a photo I took a couple of days ago:
For my second image of the day I decided to try my hand at some scanner art. An interesting experiment:
Um, you know that two pictures a day thing? I’ve decided I’m not very good at it. It’s only Day 4, and already I’m up to picture #13. Oh well, if I end up doing more than 50 pictures, that’s ok – I’m sure nobody complains if a NaNoWriMo project exceeds 50,000 words, so why…

So here’s my first attempt, the product of a pleasant few minutes sitting in the garden. I’m not…

But it had cleared up a bit by the afternoon, so after work I walked home via the university’s wonderful Ilam Gardens, which feature one of the largest collections of rhododendrons in the southern hemisphere,…
Typical. All this week the light in the mornings has had a wonderful quality that would have been fantastic for taking photos. I’ve been walking to work seeing the light shining through the new leaves, and imagining wonderful compositions of light and shade. I even thought about cheating and starting NoNoNoNo a few days early,…
I wasn’t entirely happy with the picture of the clouds I posted this morning, but I wanted my first picture to be of the sky, just because of the irony of the weather. All morning I kept finding myself drawn back to look at it again, sure there was a better picture in there somewhere,…
