I got a remote shutter release for the 400D I’m borrowing, so I can now take exposures for as long as I want! This one is pretty much the same Dee-Why-pool-at-night that I took a few weeks ago, but with an 82 second exposure instead of 30. Quite a difference!

Some more artiness!

Turns out it’s bloody hard work trying to take a photo of a water droplet exactly as you want it. Even this one I’d have preferred to get with it totally separate from the tap, but eh. I’m tired. 😀

Gravity

Urgh. Lily had some stomach bug last week (the week we didn’t have her), and was horribly sick. I got it on Friday and spent the entire day either in bed or in the bathroom, with kungfupolarbear looking after me, and today she has it and is doing the same thing. 🙁 Thankfully I’m all better so I can look after her, at least.

Also, some random artiness.

I love pot

We had a party at our house last night for kungfupolarbear‘s birthday. There was Munchkin, Guitar Hero, drinking, and chatting, and it was great! I ended up rather drunker than I have been for quite a while, hehe.

Unfortunately, after everybody left when I was turning all the lights out I managed to stub my toe and it looks like I dislocated it. 🙁 It’s definitely not broken as I can still move it and bend it fine, but part of it is a very interesting shade of purple and blue.

We went up to Barrenjoey Head yesterday and snapped some photos with that 400D that I borrowed again from a friend at work. We were going to go back to North Head in the morning and get some good photos of the cliffs, but by the time we finished doing everything we had to get done, it was already midday.

And tonight I took some photos of the flowers I bought kungfupolarbear for her birthday. I’m really happy with them. 🙂

It’s meme time!

I should also point out that this is coming up for seven years worth of music and playcounts! I started using iTunes full-time when the Mac OS X-native version 3.0 came out (September 18, 2002 or thereabouts, according to Wikipedia).
