Day 77-83 Catch up

Ok first I need to let you know where I've been, MY Pc died last week and worst of all i had a hard drive failure and I lost 150gb of photos from the last 5 years so between sulking and moaning I did take some pictures each day but it didn't lift my spirits much. so 365ers what have we learned from this BACK UP your photos !!! Still enjoy these ! We spent most of the weekend at Papermill Lock We went to a birthday Party on friday Night and then went back Saturday to pick up the car and as the weather was nice went down again Sunday to walk along the River.
The Earlier Part of the week was dedicated to the robins, the chick are getting big now so hopefully will be around when they fly the nest !

Day 76 On the fence

Well I hope this doesn't bore you but I think I will do a Robin Week, I love snapping these cute little guys and I'm going to take advantage whilst they are about.

Day 75 _ Mr Robin

I set up my camera on my gorilla pod wrapped around a beam in the shed and then using my remote set 30 shot with a 5 second interval. Everytime I saw a visitor I'd sneak over and pressed the button I got about 200 snaps but this was one of the best ! unfortuatly i didnt get the one of mum or dad actually feeding the chicks but I still have about a week to nail it so will try again tomorrow.

Day 74 -Feeding Time

Spent the weekend in the garden with the robins, I didn't have a chance to post saturdays, The chicks have been born but I'm yet to capture the chicks this is Mrs Robin. Caught this with my telephoto lens. From the just outside the shed.

Day 73 - Blue Flower

I borrowed iDavids 50mm lens and now I want one too , this was one of my favorite shots, I added a highpass overlay and chose the soft light setting which really brough out the blue.

Day 72 Theme Thursday Negative Space

Here is my crack at Negative Space, Once I'd read up on it seemed I was already there with Tuesdays effort. I was hoping to get one of the layers to reverve to make the shot symetrical but CS4 kept flipping both ???? Given up tonight but will upload with the final image once Ive sussed it out, EnjoyThis is what I was after seemed the best thing to do was flatten the layers and then free tramform I half ! Perfect !

Day 71 The Tree

This is Wednsdays Picture , Late posting , got in late from work and didn't even get the memory card out of my camera... Used autobracketing to create the HDr then ran it through HDR dynamic.. great HDR software in my book ! Still couldn't decide between the colour and monchrome, you decide :¬)
