Marley likes having his picture taken. Since he was a puppy he has always been in front of the camera - he is a natural model but I can't get him to smile.

I saw this on DIY Photography and had to give it a try. With a bit more time and attention to detail I am pretty sure you could create some fantastic results. I have posted a few more of my pictures to Flickr - and a really bad setup shot.

Today I went to a University open day in London with Thomas. We visited the London College of Communications - one of the universities he is considering to do a photography degree. I have to say I am very envious of the opportunity - I quite fancy it myself. We didn't get to see too many examples of the student's work but from what I did see out of focus is the trend.

The dog's got mail!! I can't believe the vet sent a letter to the dog - I was thinking of changing anyway but this has made my mind up.
...and the MAC is very close to be thrown, I have resorted to the good old PC to upload today's picture.

New toy .... and I've managed to upload my picture to Flickr and do my blog post. Having always been a Windows user this does feel a little strange - a bit like driving a left hand drive car!

We didn't get up until late today but the weather has been dreadfull so I don't feel too guilty. The most interesting event of the day was dinner and in particular the Yorkshire puddings. Lovely!!

Having a plan for your daily picture is the key to success. I knew that tonight we would be inundated with trick-or-treaters - I even went to the shop and bought bags of sweets. Well it is now 10:30 and we haven't had a single visit - if the door goes now I am not going to answer it. So, the only choice is pictures of the chocolates - or what is left of them anyway. Tomorrow's plan A is to have a plan B.

Desperate measures tonight.. a quick picture of the air freshener candle. Not sure about the motif on the side!

The plan was to take some pictures of the dogs with Rudolph antlers and flashing red noses but things didn't work out. We did manage a dressed rehearsal which was hilarious but no pictures :-(

Hannah pointed out the spider's web on the garden fence - street lights provide the bokeh glow.

I have decided to try and write something to accompany my daily picture. I used to always say a few words but have got out of the habit. This is a quick snap talen out of the car window on the way home tonight. Not very inspiring I know but I received some very sad news today and don't feel very motivated.

...and I have just noticed I should be on day 300 but I did two day 213's - what a muppet!

Water droplets on a CD - heavily cropped as I don't have much of a macro lens. I also used a magnifying glass to help get a bit closer. Set up shot here

I will have another go at this when I get more time.

I didn't actually take this but I did set up my new Lastolite HiLite background and let my wife press the shutter. Had I known I was to feature on my blog I would have done something about my hair and the bags under my eyes!!
