Rapturous! Inspirational & Interesting Photography

Another beautiful location where you could just lay on your back and watch the clouds blow over. Probably something I’d want to do with a friend or lover by my side. Skies in cities never look this blue, and on days like today I could convince myself that it is totally the work of Photoshop, however my memory and other days reminds me that there is such a sky and that life and nature can be truly this wonderful. Thanks to Nicholas T for the memory.

It’s officially cute day here on this blog – obviously this guy didn’t get much sleep and needs his morning cup-a-Joe.
LOL

Tussi

Vanstaffs is one of my contacts on Flickr, and is constantly posting photos on Tussi, the backyard warrier. I love some of the photos that come from the world of Tussi the feline and her adventures with the backyard, the neighbourhood pets, etc.

Sometimes the best photos come with a story!

We had this word for two days, so there are two photos to go with this…

LED - Traffic Light

This one was taken with my camera phone while waiting for our dinner order.

LED - Sign at the local PRATA shop

Box made from Blu-Tack

I fiddle with blu-tac in the office all the time. Today I made a box out of it. One of my colleagues calls it “plasticine for adults” LOL

Remain Seated

I waited almost too late to get this shot – it was a busy day, but then while upgrading the firmware on my phone, my computer crashed and I had to reinstall everything – this took a little while so I went outside my office to take this shot… one that I have been meaning to take for ages as the chair matches the flooring in the space outside. Unfortunately it was about 30 mins before the sun set and it took 3-4 shots before I got the light the way I wanted.

Big thanks to rootsmith who posted on how to search your own photostream for photos taken with a particular camera type.

Its a URL hack, but fairly easy to do. I wanted to find my photos taken with my camera phone (Nokia N86). Very cool hack!

Thanks!

Vibrant photo - nice balls!

Dare I say it – nice balls! I just love the colour on this, as do the 240 or so commenters on this photo.  Really nice composition and shot!

Hello Kitty for the Little Gambler in you!

My challenge photo for day 294 came as a result of waiting on the side of the road for my husband to pick me up – I saw this in one of those cutesy shops with all sorts of girlie-girlie knick-knacks for sale. Not my cup of tea, but I had to take this shot when I saw the Hello Kitty Mahjong set and gambling chips. LOL.

Oh boy have I been busy… and unfortunately my contributions to the 2009 Photo challenge were non-existent for 6 months. Massive let down, but I’m back on it!

Also I’m quite excited about the upcoming November Photo Challenge – using only Camera Phones! The rules are quite good, and I think there are some really cool shots to be taken with camera phones – different limitations and different freedoms as well.
