the key to a different perspective

i take a lot of photos from a low angle. and here’s a good example showing the difference between an above picture of a lost broken key and a low angle version of the same thing.
to get the low angle picture i set my little compact camera to macro mode and centre point focussing, place it against the ground, and point it in the general direction of thing i’m photoing.
i usually end up taking 4 or 5 shots to get the thing i want to be in focus, with a fair bit of chimping at the time to check.
the worst bit is standing up again as i’m usually wearing my heavy backpack with laptop and various heavy documents.
the crouch is usually worth it though.

so there you go. you probably knew all that already.

i stayed on the 38th floor of the marriot hotel. that was quite high.

it had a terrific view of the sunset. pity about the window reflections seemed unbeatable due to the double glazing.

polish guide to scotland

i spotted this book in a polish kiosk window and i thought i provided a nice link between our recent holiday in scotland and my few days in warsaw. i like links like that.

green with envy

these mannequins really were this colour

notebooki and komputery

words look so much less intimidating if you add an ‘i’ or ‘y’ at the end. and changing a ‘c’ to a ‘k’ is good fun too.

table polish

i took this photo of an old house in poland as it looked good, but when i looked at the photo i noticed the table in the bottom right of the photo (click for big)

that was a bit weird as i’d just walked past this table which was doing duty as a bollard.

it’s a small world, and full of tables.
