Hoarder

Barney — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 19:43:37 +0000

I really like small and pretty things, this includes the bottle tops from beer and lager bottles. I think the limited space requires the design to be more focused, but often simpler than the original brand identity. Design spiel to one side, I decided to start collecting bottle tops. And then I thought, what the hell am I doing collecting these? For some unknown reason I like to hoard totally useless things that have little or no meaning to me. Something I need to rectify.

Flickry Dickery

I went to Birmingham last week to investigate the German market and get some Christmas presents. It was so successful that I ended up buying myself an early Christmas present, a compact digital camera. The camera in question is the FujiFilm FinePix J15fd. It was pretty cheap from Boots and it’s very small and neat. Probably not the best compact around, but I like it. I need to organise myself a Flickr account and integrate it with this ‘ere website at some point, then I can demonstrate my lack of photography skills to a wider audience.

Let’s Climb up a Hill!

Back in May, it was my dad’s birthday and we decided to go to the Prescott Speed Hill Climb for a day out with the family. I’ve never been to a hill climb before or any kind of motor racing, really, not that I can remember. Anyway, one thing I wasn’t expecting to see was a Bugatti Veyron, but there was one there, I got a bit excited about that but I managed to control my bladder sufficiently. It looked beautiful, sounded awesome, was very, very fast and surprisingly smaller than I imagined it would be.

There were lots of old classic cars there, too. Including, Aston Martins, Lotuses, Peugeots, Renaults, Morgans, a current F1 Renault and a host of other cars I couldn’t identify. There was also a Leyat Helica in the car park when we arrived. A very interesting old car with a propeller on the front, unfortunately it wasn’t running, it would have been great to see. Seems I didn’t take as many pictures of the different cars as I thought, but here are a few I did take.

Mini Macro

I quite like it when it’s been raining and then the sun comes out. I was standing in the garden when I spotted the leaves of a plant (no one knows the name of) looked really nice with big raindrops on them. So, I got the camera out and took a few snaps. A fly also decided to stop and model for me, too. I’d like to thank that fly, possibly one of the best models I have ever worked with! Anyway, here are the best shots I pulled off.

Worcester in the Snow

Yesterday it snowed a lot in Worcester; there hasn’t been this much here since 1981. This provided me with a perfect opportunity to go for a wander around the local racecourse and take some nice pictures. I’ve also had a play with the pictures to try and improve them and remove unwanted objects. I took a lot, but these are my favourite ones. Enjoy

Long Winter Nights

About the only thing I don’t like about winter is the long dark nights. It got dark here at about 5 o’clock and the fireworks instantly kicked in. I was sitting at the computer and out of the corner of my eye; I noticed that the sky was an incredible pink colour. I raced off to get the digital camera and started to take pictures of the sky. Unfortunately, the battery died after I took two pictures, so I had to charge it for five minutes so I could take some more. I managed to take two from the garden and several from my skylight, I quite like them. Anyway less of my chitchat, here are the best of the pics I took:
