September 6th
4am GMT

aka 10pm Friday September 5 in MST
aka 9pm PST

seeing as how we are basically a day away howzabout we just do away with the theme for this month?

alternatively, what about taking photos in.. color accent? is that a universal feature for most digital cameras?

I’d really like to try some HDR for p/d/p, but that may not work depending on the theme we pick… unless HDR is the theme and we just take pictures of anything we want :)

Almost dropped the ball again on this, but p/d/p goes off tonight at 12am GMT.

Not bothering with the link to the converter, I’ll just tell you it is 6pm in Alberta, or 5pm in BC.

The theme is motion, do with that what you will.

Day 12 - half way home!

North Island

I’m officially (sort of) finished (but there may still be additions later) uploading the first half of the trip to flickr, and today I plan on taking a good run at the south. As I’ve been going through I’ve added to just about every description, so I guess I won’t be duplicating the effort on here in the 4 posts from while I was gone (although I may add photos to what I did write)… call me lazy but that is the plan for now.

I decided that there should be 2 separate groups for this because the load time for the slide show and the set in general was taking longer than I’d like, so the two set names you need to look for now is New Zealand North Island and NZ South Island (ooo.. so creative). The link at the start of this post takes you directly to the north island set, and when the south has something worth seeing I’ll add the link at the end.

Other than this there isn’t much to report… the weather has been crap (snow for the last week or so.. I think winter missed me while I was gone) so I haven’t been biking, the Flames got eliminated from the playoffs so I’m not going to games, and in the month I’ve been home I have just been busy reconnecting the wires of my life so things can keep moving forward.

The date: May 3rd

The time:12am GMT

The converter: linky

The Theme: TBA – voting for this closes on the 27th of April… go here to place your vote on the theme you want.

I’ve got 4 days worth of photos up on flickr right now, and it seems I’m able to sort through about 2 days worth before the story telling part of my brain gets tired.

Day 4 - sailing in the Bay of Islands

This was the in Bay of Islands, and one of the clearest days I had in my entire trip.

I don’t get it.

of all my pictures I’ve put up from New Zealand so far… this is the most viewed?

Day 12 - Tongariro Crossing - Gimme shelter
something tells me I need to post more up, so that will be my side project tomorrow and on Sunday.

I think that if you go to the group for New Zealand 2008 (on the right side) I should be able to put them in some sort of chronological order so I don’t have to replace existing photos for the story to make sense.

thanks to some last second assistance from my parents, I managed to plow through 99% of my pre-trip to do list and make it to the airport somewhat on time with just a few minor problems.

Theme: curves

Date: Saturday February 9th, 2008

Time: 9am GMT (converter found here, because scrolling down 4 posts is completely out of the question)

post them on flickr when you are done.

there, I didn’t forget to remind you about the upcoming p/d/p… now I just have to remember to take a picture.

**edit**

voting is up for March p/d/p, so go put in your two cents here.

what follows is the result of “plan B”… not to be confused with plan 9. Not bad for a mag light, my thumb and a 1 second shutter speed per letter.

pdp

Advance notice did allow for a few alternatives to be worked out ahead of time, so when I saw that it was going down to -35 with blowing snow around the time I was to be taking my picture… plan A got pushed aside and I worked on the indoor alternative. Plan A is noted and will hopefully take place in the relatively near future.
