Taken for the Weekend Assignment and Contest Group.

This weekends assignment was "Toy Story". We had to take a photo of our toys and write a short story to accompany the photo. Here is my story:

~R2 had just finished running an internal diagnostic, while analyzing the report he realized his radar was on the fritz. In his haste to reach the Robo-Repair Plaza, he failed to see Officer Scum B. Ucket hiding in the Trogdor Forest.

Officer Ucket is well know through out the galactic empire. In his 27 years of service to the empire, he has never once failed to meet his quota. He is so devious and cunning with his speed traps that the droids have given him the title of "Dark Lord of the Highway". He has sullied the good name, and good driving record, of many young droids.

Needless to say, R2 will be receiving some unwanted mail in the next few weeks. He better get his radar fixed soon!~

Side note - for those in the United States, Canada takes photo-radar shots of speeders and sends the ticket in the mail later, just the thing to ruin your day...

Second side note - to any police officers that see this photo, I respect and admire what you do, I just hate photo-radar!

Says I to Black Mountain after show:

"Hey, you guys don't really like lights, huh?"

--"No, we don't like lights or photographers."

"But I'm a photographer and I love you!"

Your protests will only get you so far in this life.

Right then Flickerinos! I am proud to announce that I finally have a website!!! I know it's taken me long enough, but I am so so proud of the results and really want to share this with you.

My new website is:

www.megsphotos.co.uk

I would very very much appreciate it if anyone reading this takes a quick look at my site and could tell me what you think! (And maybe if I'm lucky I'll get a share on Facebook!)

Thank you anyone for your time, comments are very much welcome!

I'm shooting with a new lens. Dad was there at the hospital while I took pictures of Lydia (and the rest of the family), and wanted to know its minimum focal distance... so I shot this.

I LOVE how it came out. This is one of my favorite shots ever. (Doesn't hurt that it's of my Dad, but I have lots of other pictures of him that don't intrigue me like this one.)

Maybe I'll change my mind later, but I think this is the best picture I've ever taken of my Dad. I wonder what a “real” photographer would think of it.

I spent today building a light tent out of a cardboard box and some poster board... This is a practice shot which I am only 70% happy with. I don't think I exposed it well enough, there is a lot of grain for ISO 200, under exposed? Part of it is JPEG compression on the red channels, I think. Any thoughts / feedback on how it can be improved would be really appreciated.

This was an experiment and any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated! I was trying to create something dream-like and uplifting... but I also was just having a bit of fun in photoshop. Let me know your thoughts!
