I have been having one of those days where you realise age is creeping up on you: making the tea at work, I had to reboil the kettle three times before finally adding the water to the mugs; four times (I think!) I got up from my desk to do something but kept forgetting why I was walking across the office.

I finally managed to find a link to my Picasa albums so that I could do some reorganising and move a bunch of photos into different albums.

Here is my Black and White album.

We recently filmed Strax actor Dan Starkey having his Sontaran make-up applied by the talented team from Millennium FX. The whole process takes two hours - so we sped it up. A lot. http://bit.ly/17Yl7rU

This is my "Sunset" album, which is positively overflowing compared to my "Sunrise" album - I'm not really an early morning person.

Seeing as there's a bit of a problem with uploading a photo to an album and then sharing it, I thought I'd share a couple of my albums.

First up is my "People and the Street" album. I do actually have a lot more street photography, but they're tied up in other albums at the moment (makes note to reorganise albums...again...).

Google Play Music location error

I'm sure I can't be the only person with this problem: the Google Play Music player in my browser thinks I'm in the US - all music recommendations are priced in dollars and cents. The Play Store is fine, it's just the web player. I cannot see any obvious settings, and a Google search isn't much use as it just comes up with recent news stories about the recent update to Music, or the original launch.

Any ideas? +Google Play?

Okay, so I like the "look" of the new G+, but I will need to hold off posting any photos until I can work out how to do it without G+ creating a copy in "photos from posts."

Grammar Nazi Question.

What is the grammatical term for why this is wrong: "your own personal car"?

I feel it should either be "your own car" or "your personal car."

Does anyone use a stand alone media streamer in the UK? If so, which one and why? I mainly want to be able to stream YouTube footage, but am considering dropping Sky if I can get access to the same content another way.

I somehow managed to get past 4000 followers this past week, so I thought I'd better say hi.

Hi.

Thank you for following me. I'm here most days, but don't be surprised if you don't hear from me for a week - work has a habit of getting in the way of me enjoying myself!

Barbed

Not my usual sort of treatment, but I quite like it. A bit more barbed wire than usually on this telegraph pole as it's next to a Navy base. Taken while on a walk with my mum and her dog.

Lonely Boat

Title stolen from a workmate who happened to be on the same beach taking a photo of the same boat, but slightly later. 

I've been in a photographic funk for the last few weeks and just haven't felt the love. As the weather was set fine, I thought a walk along the beach would blow the cobwebs away, but it just managed to mess up my hair. I need to find some direction with my photography, and my current participation in a 52 week project is going by the wayside as I hunt for a bottle of mojo.

Lion Cub

Taken at Longleat Safari park back in April. It was a right pain trying to photograph the lions as they were sat basking in the sun, right on the side of the road. This meant that all of the cars were stopped in the passing lane. Rather than join the queue, we passed on the left and I managed to get a couple of shots in a gap between two cars.

Rhino

One of the Rhinos at Longleat Safari Park, taken back in April. I really miss having a proper zoom since my 70-300 broke last year.

Introducing our newest team member +James O'Gorman!  Let’s hope he knows the back streets of London a better than +Yoon-Mi Kim!

We’ll be meeting at Ebury Bridge Road for our next Quiet London walk, overlooking the railway line, then winding our way through the London streets, ending at Leicester Square. We’ll be sharing jokes, photography tips and just shooting the breeze. Everyone is welcome, no matter what sort of camera you have or what standard you think you are :)

We look forward to walking, talking and shooting with you!

Got this stuck in my head today as it was playing on the radio while I was at work. I didn't have this song when it came out, but it is one of those songs that reminds me of my 90's.

Peter Hurley's brilliant tutorial on posing (I got it embedded here. Yay!)

OK, I got it embedded, so if you missed it earlier, you've got to check this out. The comments it's getting from photographers who watched it today are are over the top with tons of love for what he shared. If you're a portrait photographer, you just have got to watch this (yes, it makes that big a difference). http://vimeo.com/35732667

Hi all,

I've got some old tech lying around that I'd like to get rid of. It's free for anyone who wants it if they can pick it up or are in the UK that I can post to. I'll keep updating this as I find more stuff. :-)

So far I've dug out:

2x Adaptec AHA-2940UW Ultra-wide SCSI adapters
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SB0090
Creative Sound Blaster 128 CT4750
3com 3C905B 100Mb NIC
ATI Radeon - unsure of model - has VGA, DVI and S-VID outputs.
Linksys 10/100 9-port switch
Cisco SOHO 97 ADSL router
Lots of 3-pin power cables.
USB CompactFlash/SmartMedia/SD card reader

Do feel free to pass this on to anyone you think may be interested!

You can tell it's warming up as some of the local fauna has come out of hibernation: Homo Chavus (more commonly known as The White Chested Boobie) is easy to spot as it struts its scrawny legs down the street. The male of the species can often be seen sporting some kind of headdress (usually back to front) showing the colours of a North American sporting team, or depicting the kilt colours of The Clan Burberry.
