In his defense I was driving him crazy. I hope he doesn't torment me for ever because of this! (:

Partnering with the Danish Museum of Science and Technology, InfinIT, a Danish network for innovative utilization of IT, Cotter (Laser Cutting Services) and VRKSTEDET (Underbroen) we created a Bits & Beers to kickstart our newest venture - a series of workshops called "From Old Patents to New Prototypes".

 

Our theme was 'crazy inventions that can change the world' and our speakers included some very special people who have contributed to our world!

Was a bit late for this one, as didn't know it was happening. Only popped to Chamberlain Square to go into the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery for the new look Edwardian Tearoom. When I found it to be a bit busy, I went elsewhere.

 

Then social media was going on about this, so later popped back for a few shots. Although by 2.30pm the ice sculptures were half melted!

 

The sun had come out after the morning rain!

It was held by Birmingham Hippodrome.

Left to my own devices on Friday morning, I thought I'd attempt a little bit of independence + use my tripod for the first time! I'm proud that I did, because it means that I can post this entry + I've finally taught myself how to use it! So, if the boy isn't around to lend me his photography skills, I can just whip out the tripod + give it a whirl myself, yay for me!

 

I spent Friday hanging out with my dad: wandering in the sunshine,looking through antique stores + unintentionally doing a bit of shopping! I picked up some fabulous things that really fit in well with my wardrobe, so I'll post my haul in a new 'recent purchases' entry soon! Oh, I also found a 1967 copy of 'Flair' magazine in one of the antique stores - I was so excited + it is ridiculously rad! I plan on scanning in the best parts to share with you all for a bit of 60's fashion nostalgia, it was worth every penny!

Took the kids and the family down to the Harbour estate to see the QE2.but i wanted to go down to the pump house, as the traffic was being directed, i stopped and asked the gentleman could we get down the road to the pump house, he wasn't from NI and he said that i follow cars, as there were some behind me (like that was the understatement of the year) so again i asked if i could go straight down the road and he said that other person would help me. so i said ok, put the windae back up and said "that fellow was helpful... not" and holden pipes up in the backseat (bernie, you'll hear this with the accent!!!) "that man was STUPID!" omg talk about near wetting yerself laughin... the rain may have been coming down hard but it certainly didn't dampen the spirits!

those of you with kids know this face. at least i got eye contact, even if it's squinty.

 

this is so him when i make him do something he doesn't want to. i admit though, i love how feisty (that's an understatement really ;)) he is, it makes him him.

thanksgiving weekend put in some extra miles.

Bit late uploading these ...some great work shouts to all involved ... more to come

Bits and Pieces!!!

 

Camera: Pentax K-70

 

Daffodil bits. Wavy trumpet edge. Focus stacked using zerene

A lily illuminated by window light, with the "sexy bits" casting the shadow of a face on the petals.

 

This was the first photo that I took after coming home from hospital following an emergency operation for a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. I was very lucky because the aneurysm burst when I was in the hospital ward of a NHS Centre of Excellence for vascular surgery, so my chances of survival were about 50% instead of only about 6% if it had ruptured at home! If it had ruptured 8 days earlier, I would have been on a boat on the Nile and I don't think I would have had much chance!

 

I'm well on the mend now and looking forward to seeing things through the lens in a new light following my lucky reprieve.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY

March 2011

Original resolution: 18 Megapixels.

Natural light :)

Unedited image :)

Camera: CANON EOS 550D

Items that we received. We are so lucky! Bits of Goodness, June 2011.

A little bit of the sightseeing market in Liverpool with two similarly bodied buses on two different chassis with two different operators. On the left facing the camera is Maghull Coaches, Bootle, SIG1847, a Plaxton President bodied DAF DB250. New to Arriva London North(DLP6), in 07/1999 registered T206XBV. Later converted to open-top configuration, it operated on Arriva The Original London Sightseeing Tours numbered DLP206. It is seen here on Canada Boulevard passing Liverpool City Sights, Liverpool, 305 W633PSX, a Dennis Trident SFD321, also with a Plaxton President body. New to Lothian Reigional Transport(33), in 07/2000, this is a purpose built open-topper rather than a conversion, being used on City Sightseeing Edinburgh tours.

This went a bit weong - I forgot to start on the underside! - but I did some retouching and I think I am growing to like it. The left side came out more as intended.

Bit of a flap on

A slightly better view for Mando.

P1280574 - There is a long sad story to all of this. The council along with various local organisations managed to get some lottery funding to re work the bowling green and build a skate park. Now you have to remember most of the councillors are 60 plus. So a bit one sided from me an ex youth worker, but today x years after a million odd quid was spent on a top notch bowling green and club house it's still in use.

Skate park, close three times, why against the advice of specialist, construction engineers which was NOT to build a wooden structure right next to the sea, they did and subsequently is has become unsafe three times since it's construction.

Along with the youth club cuts and in some cases closure, I came only assume that the youth of Ryde and other areas on the Isle of Wight will return to it's poll position on the national legal for the most under age pregnancy's alongside the higher ratings for drug and alcohol abuse in teenagers and pre teens. Additional cost to area in looking after these problems and caring for the results that it will bring. Glad the government is looking after the young with their Duty of Care.........enough, I'll stop now before I get really going

 

Footnote: It might become easier to find some murals in a couple of year though, to help with this sort of challenge, there is always an up

Not many of these left now !

Some of my pics from the Haworth 1940s weekend. See www.haworth1940s.co.uk/ A brilliant day out – great atmos – especially when the packed street outside started singing ‘we’ll meet again’ along with the lady singing from an outdoor pavilion! Loads of people were dressed up and in-character – i now want to go dressed up next year! Although there was a ‘upsetting’ amount of real-furs adorned around characters necks!

 

View On Black

Bit of fun with a lens ball

i have no idea how this came out. i wasn't looking at the camera because i was driving. trying to get a shot of a police motorcycle's lights at night. zoomed all the way in & finger on the manual focus button so it wasn't focused at all. the blue came out right though.
