Tasty Tuesday #19

This Tasty Tuesday is from a very long time ago when we chopped a few trees down for some power poles. This was shot on film using my mom’s old camera and I found the film about a year ago. I scanned the pictures and then forgot about them again until recently when I found them on my hard drive.

Photography from the Mountain

So, I missed the Tasty Tuesday this week. And that would be because I was packing for a ski trip in which I left on Tuesday. Whatever, it’s a poor excuse. Other than the ski trip, I don’t have much to report on this week. I will be posting a Tasty Tuesday this week and it will be something from way back.
In the meantime, here’s the video from the weekend. It was really cold while we were up there (-20°C in the morning and a balmy -17°C in the sun) at Mount Washington. The video is from all over the mountainside. Make sure to watch it in HD. If you’re on a mobile device, here’s the youtube link

Bondi

I hoped to have some fashion pictures for you this week but they won’t be ready for at least another month. Why? Simple, they haven’t been taken yet. In any case, here is a panoramic stitch that I took while I was in Australia. This is a composition of probably 6 pictures. What do you think?Bondi Beach PanoClick to enlarge

Photogaphers vs. The Picture-Takers

How easy is it to take a picture, run it through a quick editing program and then share it with the world without taking a step. 10 years ago, it would have been impossible. Today, however, with any common mobile phone, you can take a picture, add an effect with Photoshop Express or another similar App and then upload it to Facebook, Twitpic, Flickr, or any other choice of image sharing social media sites. I say image because I find that over 80% of the material on the web today is a relay of information. It’s an easy way to tell someone about a cool bench to eat lunch at or, show off who you just met.

Bouldering

Reese on the Jardines BouldersOne thing that I enjoy doing in my spare time is to go climbing. When I was in New Zealand, my girlfriend and I stayed with some friends who were really in to climbing. Almost every evening they would head out to the Jardines Boulders (just below The Remarkables mountains) for a couple of hours. The boulders were rocks that had fallen off the adjacent mountains and rolled in to a sheep paddock. You really had to watch your step while walking around. The sheep were everywhere.
Reese (pictured left) was working on this for quite a while. The crux being the third move, he’s pictured in the starting position and his first move is to reach up to the crack seen at the bottom of the picture. The second move is to get his legs out and the third is to get his other arm over. He did eventually send the route after a few attempts. If you climb, let me know. I’d love to hear your stories.
