I have been out and about with the 6D today. Electing to walk to spinning group, I packed knitting and camera and set off in good time to allow a familiarisation session with the Tamron lens. I elected to set ISO to Auto and to try and get the hang of manually focussing landscapes by …

55 is the International Dialling Code for Brazil, where the nuts come from
Significant Fail
Dashed out to see if I could capture the Merry Dancers before I go to bed. Sadly it’s too windy out there for a lengthy exposure… and too cold to stay out long enough to perfect the exposure. Better luck next time but I’m not too shy to share my significant fails 🙂 Significant light …
365:54 Cubik
There are 54 cubies on a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik%27s_Cube]Rubik’s cube[/url]. I considered cleaning this cube up before shooting it but the stickers tell a little of its history – they were used to solve a puzzle in an on-line Puzzle Hunt (probably [url=http://www.ms.unimelb.edu.au/~mums/puzzlehunt/]MUM[/url]s, possibly [url=http://www.maths.usyd.edu.au/u/sums/puzzlehunt/]SUMs[/url], or maybe [url=http://puzzle.cisra.com.au/]CISRA[/url] … though memory now fails). Well, when I say …
465:53 Colourful
A small cheat today, as time is in short supply. Iodine is a chemical element with symbol I and atomic number 53. The name is from Greek ??????? ioeid?s, meaning violet or purple, due to the colour of elemental iodine vapour I couldn’t find a bottle of iodine but I did have some fibre lying …
More glass
The new Sigma macro lens has just arrived. I shal lmake time to play with that later today.
365:52 White
There are, according to Wikipedia, 52 white keys on a piano. This is not a piano and I am pretty sure it doesn’t have 52 keys but it did offer an opportunity to try out a hand-held shot with my new 105 mm prime lens
365:51 Full of beans
The planned image for today has been rescheduled by a few days. I was left in a quandary for a while until I found something photogenic. It is beginning to look like Mug Week. I have been wanting to photograph my wee Espresso mugs for some time. I have a set of 6, all different, …
Busy Day
I have had a busy day and have only just found time to wander about pointing the lens at whatever I see, which isn’t much at all as I misplaced my glasses. As you see, I have now found them.
365:50 Blood Mug
I knew from Day 1 that my subject today would be my favourite tea mug… if I ever got as far as Day 50. Well, I have. Hurrah. I got my 50th ticket in on Christmas Eve 1996, so just squeaked in with my 50th donation in the National Blood Transfusion Service’s 50th year. I …
