QR codes – The quickest way to access long url’s on your mobile?

Dave Frost — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 12:40:21 +0000

Will you scan this? Where will it take you.
Just wondering today whether there’s any real value in QR (quick response) codes for anything other than marketing surveys etc.

If you have a ‘smart-phone’ and are curious to see where this one will lead, I dare you to open your bar code scanner and take the plunge.

Protests in London - A peaceful day

Tricky Alf murders another pair of white socks………

Dave Frost — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 13:31:46 +0000

Took a hell of a lot longer to stitch these than I thought it would and by no means a proper job. Learnt a few hard lessons on the way to the end result here, the most important of which would be – DON’T MOVE THE CAMERA AT ALL when shooting with this in mind.
Also learnt a lot about masking and layers in Photoshop so not all a total loss. Will be replacing this one with a more considered and better edit as soon as I have a few hours spare !!!

Needless to say that come the finish the socks were consigned to the dustbin

Annoying Noisy thing….

Dave Frost — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 12:04:57 +0000

These litt;e things are really annoying when you’re trying to relax, in the sun in your garden. Can hear them all over the place but never see where they are. This one ended up jumping onto a sunbed and obligingly sat there till I got the camera out.

Outdoor darts – Hardcore Essex Sport

Dave Frost — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 12:45:58 +0000

For the armchair sportsman such as myself, it’s always a struggle to try and find something that mixes Drinking, Sunshine and sport (aside from spectating cricket). So, I’ve invented outdoor darts. It’s like real darts but the board blows in the wind, and sometimes the numbers are in unusual places……..

The Eye of the Storm

Someone mentioned my eyes earlier on today and I had a moment spare so though it might be fun to try for a decent image of my Iris. Used the 50mm 1.8 @ f2.8, on camera flash and a 12mm Kenko Extension tube. Was harder to focus (with the tube on) but didn’t need to crop so harshly.

Liverpool Wheel…….

Dave Frost — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 14:45:29 +0000

Been sorting through some forgotten folders on my Mac, trying to tidy everything up in a vain attempt to become more organised. Stumbled across this forgotten shot from my first ever visit to Liverpool whereupon I spent the evening wandering around the docks on my own….

Unfortunately it’s a bit soft (hand held evening shots often are) but I did quite like the contrast and colour. If I’m honest it could probably do with the bottom bit cropped off, but no time for editing today.

Global Economy

Dave Frost — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 12:44:33 +0000

It is often said that money, makes the world go round. Quite frankly this is silly. I’m not a physisisisisist, in fact I can’t even spell it, but I do know that the world goes round because at some point in the dim and distant past before God, Dinosaurs and Fish a giant Space Mammoth brushed against it in it’s haste to get to the toilet at the other end of the universe. It’s also true (apparently) that the world will one day stop spinning, at which point gravity will cease to exist and we’ll all become as light as feathers and float into the sky.

I haven’t gone mad, I was just thinking of a title for this picture and it dawned on me that it isn’t money that makes the world go round, it’s the world that makes money go round.

A Country Scene

Dave Frost — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 17:38:12 +0000

The countryside seems to have thus far escaped the Health and Safety Nazis in that around the Backstreets of the darkest corners of Essex, you can still find the traditional method of keeping your sheep in one field and your crops in another. The longer they stay away from England’s green and pleasant Land, seen here on the Dengie peninsular the better the world will be.

Spring is in the air

Quite literally. Took this a while ago, but re-processed it to suit my mood.

4 weeks old

Dave Frost — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 12:53:56 +0000

And no longer looking like a furry Mars bar sized rat……
This one was the only one awake so I took the opportunity to borrow her for a few minutes. Of the 50 or so shots I took, very few were in focus as she’s now discovered how to run, with the odd skip and a hop before falling over.
