Songs: A Town Called Malice


This week I have been dancing around my room to this:




I like that it's catchy and fun and good to sing along to, but also that its title is a pun.   Hee hee.   I like puns.

Photography: Summer Flowers

I tried to take some HDR photos of some of the lovely summer flowers in my mum's garden.   Oddly, I found that somehow, no matter what I did, the HDR photos just didn't look as good as the JPEGs.   This hasn't been a one time thing either.   Whenever I've tried to take HDR flower photos they never seem to quite work.   So that being said, here are the JPEG versions.   A touch of summer for you.   All taken with my macro lens.  


 Notice how the fence in the background is hardly noticeable?   I used a wide aperture to throw the background out of focus.   handy trick for hiding unsightly fences!
