Red Bull Air Race

This was taken at the Red Bull Air Race London 2008.

I love the sky in this. I just wish the exposure was a little better. Doh. :)

Woolstone Mill House

I was lucky enough to be invited around the stunning Woolstone Mill House gardens this weekend to take photos. They are absolutely beautiful.
I only wish that I had longer to spend taking photos!

They occasionally have an open garden, if you are in the area I thoroughly recommend visiting.

My photos of Woolstone Mill House gardens are on Flickr if you fancy taking a look.

Yey for cute things

Aww. Little duckling at Arundel WWT. Lots more fluffy feathered things here

Best use of Flash award

I’ve been far too busy to blog anything recently, so while i’ve got a spare 10 minutes, I thought i’d just write something about us winning the ‘Best use of Flash’ award at the Brighton web awards.

Yey :)

Respect to Fritz Solares!

Slingbox + n95 + TV out



Slingbox + n95 + TV out, originally uploaded by yezzer.

Crazy. I’ve got my n95 and the Slingbox working, which is quite cool. i can control it remotely so I could watch stuff i’ve recorded, which is pretty neat.

Anyway, this goes like this:

Satellite > My satellite dish > sky+ box > Slingbox > router > interwebs > 3 > n95 > TV

I think it’s crazy that a mobile phone has TV out. Nokia really did pack then95 *full* of features.
Shame one of those features wasn’t a better battery :D

iPhone to have ‘unlimited’ unlimited data transfer rates

Wow, this is great, and has sealed the fact that i’ll be (attempting) to get an iPhone on Friday.

o2 were going to cap data transfer at 200MB per month, but it’s now going to be unlimited:

”So we’ve taken the decision to remove the fair usage cap so that ‘unlimited’ really does mean ‘unlimited’ – this is a market first.”

Data accessed must be for personal, not commercial, use and the phone must not be used as a modem.

Sounds great to me! :) And to think i used to be a very vocal anti-mac fanboy ;)

Cyriak animation

Cyriak is a Brighton animator whose work is absolutely crazy. And also *extremely* good.
I love his new animation:

There’s a better video on his site, and a load more videos here.

This weeks random event?

Walking around Boston at lunch, I wandered down to the river to take some photos and try out my new 18-200mm lens.
To my suprise, i saw this bird of prey sitting in the shade, dismemberng a squirrel.
It let me get very close, about 8 feet away, then when i moved a little suddenly, it flew off and perched in a tree about 10ft off the ground, above a path. Naturally I had to go over and take some more photos, and a small crowd gathered round to watch. I asked if this was a common sight, and none of the locals had seen this before.. it was quite amazing actually :)

Boston rocks!:D

I’m back from a great holiday in Mallorca with Rachel. I took over 1300 photos, and i’ve uploaded a few to Flickr.

I do like this multilingual Macaw :)
