Photo of the month: December 2008

It's an olive tree out our decking on the garage.
The lights are white and blue and just phase on and off in sequence.
I managed to get that shot with a 20sec exposure. Just normal white balance for daylight. I'm nowhere near good enough to think of using a different white balance to change a shot.
I'm just really lucky with the odd shot here and there.

Olive trees grow in the UK?? I didn't know that.

J_K · Dec 16, 2008

Yeah. They grow here.
But the Olives are NASTY!!

We buy stuff from Crete and our suppliers send us olive oil from their personal olive groves and it's just out of this world.

We went on a factory visit in February and they had deep snow!!
Athens airport had been closed due to 2 feet of snow the day before we went.

I don't have a macro lens...but tried to take some shots of water dropping into a puddle anyway.

Miss Daisy is checking out the new MBP. I keep telling her it has a trackpad, NOT a mouse, but she looks for it anyway. She prefers the 9600GT graphics card because it runs a bit warmer...

Very new to photography here, can you tell me what this "Painting with Light" is? part of photoshop? feature of your camera? I love that shot and would love to be able to do things like that.
Just got my Canon EOS Rebel Xsi for Xmas... let the pics begin!!!!! Currently experimenting with action shots for my daughters sports.
