A picturesque addition

Well, if you follow me on Twitter or Facebook then you’ll know I like my photography. Not in the in-depth way, although I’d love an expensive bag of equipment… I just use a few simple cameras and an iPhone4… and software.

I use many different apps in a mix to get my resulting images – sometimes putting the photo’s through the apps several times. Below is an montage of a few of the apps currently in use.

Recently I have been putting my work up on to Instagram. It’s free to join, but currently you have to join to see all of the photo’s in any usable way. As such, If you don’t want to post photo’s to Instagram, then I suggest you use Webstagram as a viewer. You don’t have to join and you can search all the photo’s.

To see my filtered images, either click on the photo below, or click the Instagram link in the right hand menu bar – – – – >


Awesome Space Shuttle footage

Not often I post something for the pure Hell of it… BUT….This is the best footage I have ever seen of a Shuttle launch. Views from various cameras…. first one, then starting again from another…etc…. fascinating!

Swinger

King George V playing field in Farnborough is a great place to take kids. It has by far the best playground I have seen, and more importantly – Alex loves it.

It has some weird things to play on – spring mounted surf board, trampoline holes, multiple slides, odd rails with fixed skateboard things on… loads of stuff… and a massive tyre swing…. MASSIVE.

It was a bit tricky pushing, ducking, darting and filming – and I was pretty knackered from getting the hefty thing up to speed… but I managed to grab some film of Alex being a racing driver (his words).

The tune is a sample mix overlay I put together again… sorry!





The Why of the Blog.

Blogged Fuji E900

A self timed shot for the record, using my new Fuji E900 9.0mp camera. A camera bought to record juniors early years.

Life is changing for me. Within the next few weeks I shall become a proud father. One day, my child might want to know “what was it like back then?”.

I’m not the best at keeping diaries or logs, but I want to try and keep a record of what is happening in case Jnr ever wants to know. There is so much about my own father that I never found out – I don’t want Jnr to be left wondering.

Asides from the soppy stuff above, I hope that this will give friends and family a place to come to find out what is happening in the Black family life.

Time will tell I suppose…..

….Keep watching this space.
