Photos of Phones and Phonographs (occasionally)
Yay for new toys! I’ve finally given in and bought a digital SLR. Mainly because I got fed up with scanning 35mm film. Medium format I can cope with, 35mm is too fiddly and I just haven’t got the knack for laying it flat.
So, I’ve got a Nikon D80…
Off camera flash, ghetto studio setup can be seen in the setup shot…
It was my Mums birthday today, and pretty much the whole family assembled at M&D’s house, the only one missing was Jay and he’s got a pretty good excuse (living 130 miles away!)
My photos of the cake were a little rushed, but I took a few more photos of Holly.
My family seems to have developed a bit of a tradition. We all spend the summer growing a pumpkin, then get together on Halloween for a weigh in, to see who grew the biggest one. After the weigh in, it’s carving time, so here’s mine.
I grew the heaviest, my mum grew the most perfectly formed one, my older sister and niece (Ruth and Hayley) didn’t pick theirs as it’s not ripe yet and still stands a chance of growing, my younger sister (Mary) didn’t have a garden until recently, and my Brother (Steve) says his pumpkin was about 1/2″ long and not worth bothering with.
I have a plan for next year though…
