    Nothing fancy, just me at my PC in youngest’s room.

    I seem to be spending quite a lot of time here. Flickr has a lot to answer for 🙂

    Mirror, Mirror (365: 141) — I almost didn’t spot this picture. Copyright © 2007 Gary Allman, all rights reserved.

    I almost didn’t spot this picture. I was taking a picture of a ‘Flip-Flop shop’ across the arcade and backed into an alcove for a better angle and something to lean against. I was just about to leave when I realised I was sandwiched between two mirrors.

    I had terrible problems with the exposure on this -I couldn’t work out what was wrong. I found out much later that I still had spot metering selected from an earlier shot I did against the sky. D’oh!

    Note: the above image is not the original 365 Days picture I went with. That was this one, but modern phones and monitors show how out of focus this picture is. 🙁

    This one bit of the old Tricorn Centre remains. It’s not a good angle. It was blowing a gale, raining and I was trying to keep the camera dry.

    I added some clouds in post-production because the original sky was blown out from having to expose the picture for the dark concrete.

    Yesterday I spent some time catching up on the ‘phone. I thought it’d be fun to recreate that time for my 365 picture.

    I look bloody miserable, well I’m not; it’s concentration, caused by using the zoom, it is so difficult to get the framing right when zoomed in tight, and I couldn’t do the shot hand-held, not enough light. maybe if I were female, I could multitask and concentrate, and smile at the same time 🙂

  • It was nice to get a mention …

    I don’t remember how I found this, but ten years after I left Futuremedia it was good of Andy to mention me in his comment on this blog post.

    And the page is still there…

    I’ve not read this book in years, and on picking it up I remembered it contains a hint on how to find what you need most. Hold the question in your mind and take a book, any book, open it at random, and there you’ll find your answer. I tried it.

    There on the right-hand page was my answer.

    Future Gary says, I forgot to mention that it is a great psychological trick. You’ll see what you subconsciously want to see. 🙂

    It was such a beautiful evening, I asked Liv, my car share buddy, to drop me off about a mile along the seafront from my home. On my way, I stopped to sit and listen to the sea, take pictures, and get my SP for the day.
