Since the start of my 366 project, this has been the most difficult picture to get. Have you tried to shoot your boys best toys? There is always one that he was not willing to hand over to complete the set. In fact the Audi was not meant to be in the picture set. It was meant to be the other three cars individually and then a pic of all three. Oh and the ants were crawling all over me too.

The actual image, the circle in the middle,  was achieved by shooting through the peephole in the front door. The rest of the image is a result of effects used in Pixlr-o-matic.

My wife and I went to desert dinner after a parents meeting and could not help ourselves recreate the restaurant’s television advert from their chairs.

It was an over cast day from the early hours of the morning, clearing up just before dinner to give a spectacular show of light. It got even better than this as the sun began to set. Next time I won’t use being behind the wheel as an excuse, I will pull over and shoot… If there is next time remotely similar to this time.

It is not the first time I have eaten Doritos Chilli Ribs (they not that hot), but it is the first time I have eaten them since getting the Samsung Galaxy Note. It inspired me to take this image. It is actually two images. The first picture I took was of me with my mouth wide open. It was a challenge to get that image as I did not want the picture from the lower resolution, front facing camera so I had to shoot guessing my composition and trying to touch only the shutter button on a touch screen phone with the screen facing away from me. It is the only time I have missed having a dedicated camera button on a phone.

Next I took a picture of the Doritos bag. I selected and cropped it using the Lasso tool in the Galaxy Note’s native photo editing app and the S-Pen. I exported it to the image of my self portrait and added the flames with my rather non artistic hand. The colour cast and other effects were applied using Pixlr-o-matic.

While it may not be David Attenborough type stuff here is a ginger cat in its natural urban garden habitat.

Morning tea was taken under the umbrella outside. Just had to take this picture.

Just love sunsets. I think it has to do with the fact that no two are ever the same. The brief period that they are there and then they are gone. I had to edit it a bit to get the final result to look like the sunset I saw.

Today’s image is not really a photographically excellent image. It is more to document the emotion felt when I stumbled upon these wonderful blossoms still in bloom against a lovely blue sky as I walked my child to host class. Sometimes when need to pause and look up.
