My apologies to all my loyal readers, I did not mean to keep you in suspense, it was a very busy weekend and didn’t get a chance to get to the computer at all.

Indeed .melissa. and JeezoPeezo guessed the oddity in the last photograph. Oddly, it was really obvious to them, i thought it was harder to spot. It took me a good couple minutes to notice anyway… Maybe I don’t pay close enough attention to my own photographs. Thank you both for participating in my ridiculous game. It made me smile anyway.

On an unrelated note…

I’ve been doing serious thinking about the things that get my brain really excited. I find great satisfaction in understanding the intricacies behind how miniscule things work, particularly when it relates to something I love, like photography, or computers, or anything else that crosses my path. It’s not enough for me to just know how to read a histogram, I have to understand exactly what the information means and how it’s coelated. I’m not happy knowing that adjusting certain sliders in Lightroom will give me a predictable effect, I need to understand exactly what each individual option does, and why it’s there in the first place. I’ve always been this way. Ask my parents (like the time I announced I could tune the piano after spending weeks investigating the inner-workings… they didn’t let me obviously… i could have done it by the way, i’m THAT confident).

I’m quite easily sidetracked by my tunnel-vision, to the exclusion of all other things until my curiosity is satisfied, much to the chagrin of my poor dear husband. Sound familiar to anyone? Raise your hand if you’re a geek!! Here’s you badge, you’re in friendly company.

I like to research these things because they make me happy, but it occurs to me that perhaps the things I discover might benefit others who either don’t already know, or are as curious as I am, but lack the time to investigate it themselves. SO! Expect to find a new series of articles based around my attempts to pick apart the details that are involved in this creative endeavour we like to call, “Our Addition to Photography”.

And in the words of Brenda, what’s a post without photos? Here ya go…

Another from the red jumper series. i love this one if only for the look on my darling husband’s face. They have so much fun together, my heart could literally burst.

Spotted this mother and son sitting by the river and sniped them with my telephoto. Something about the moment really touched me.

Yes, that’s my bass guitar, and yes, I love it to pieces. Oh, I’m in a band, Kerbside, for those of you that didn’t know. I fancy myself a budding Paul McCartney as I’m no Flea… I actually took this photo after a gig where the husband and myself played a huge venue with Mundy! To all my non-irish readers, Mundy is the irish Bob Dylan - in his early years. Really really nice guy, and he had hubby back him on mandolin for his current irish hit, “Galway Girl”. Good times were had by all…
