Waiting:
Shutter priority mode: 1/15
aperture f32
I am trying to take a long exposure using shutter prority to set time, but always getting to much light.
This shot is just experimental and it sort of works with my first attempt at zoom burst, at least the best of 11 shots.
To achieve the silky water effect I will need to keep shutter open for longer, How to do, this is the question. More soon, when I figure it.

Synchronicity
One hundred and seventeen
It seriously means nothing, or do I too quickly discount the esoteric revelations the world is churning.?
I Am in another moment writing a post about Palma Cathedral, and looking through the many pics I took I came across this one.
picture_117
Seems a strange place for the jolly roger
but the freakishness resides in the fact that 117 has another more resonant meaning, being the page in the jumbo book of mr men, or in fact missus miss, or whatever. Little miss tiny, being the desired bedtime story of the ‘Mayhem‘ for quite some time now.
So that is it Goodnight.

Colour, color
You know what I’m sayin’
I am in the process of building the front page for this blog/website, and am looking at colours.
Site structure padding, margin div here, div there, takes some tweaking, but to fill a browser space with the right balance of colours and graphics, font spacing type (another story) that takes real talent. Have you the eye. It is in your head, but can you reproduce it. You can cast around for inspiration, steal a glimpse of background image; you can check out the source code, but can you build it, can you put it together?
I came across this site on css mania delightful looking site, note there are loads and is worth having a look.
I could take it apart and rebuild it, but could I have conceived it, that is the question.
It is often said about great guitar solos, yeah it’s easy. To Learn maybe, but to originate.. Another story.
Anyway I’m looking at pastels, and I’m going to throw a link in here for a colour, color generator.
Check it out.

Turn your photos into stunning slideshow presentations
Exhibit your photos
If you have all your prized photos stored on your pc and would like to showcase them look no further.
With all the resources todays internet users have to hand it becomes a simple job to bring your photos to life on screen for all to see.
If you are publishing to a website why not try the google picasa download.
This application will basically find all the images on your pc and organize them into folders for you.
Once there it is a simple matter for picasa to build the html template add the necessary touches of code magic, ie javascript, or flash depending on template thus creating a folder ready to upload to your server space.
There is a growing number of free templates to use from developer paul van roekel and the instillation once you have picasa is also v.easy.
A note from his site:
How to install?
Extract the contents of the zip file to the directory \Program Files\Picasa 2\web\templates\. It’s important to place the contents of the zip file in it’s own separate folder! Start Picasa and select the images you want to export and then click Folder > Export as Webpage.
Thats all there is to it. Have fun.
