Went for a walk in Torquay today. The place we originally wanted to visit, Torre Abbey, was closed until next year for refurbishment. So (having paid £2 to park!) we went for a walk along the sea front and along the harbour wall. I have lived in this area all my life (mostly) and I have never been along Torquay harbour wall before. This taking a picture a day thing is getting us to places we wouldn't normally go, which is great! However, as it was quite dull today, the longer exposures I was having to take contributed towards some pretty blurry photos, so I took this chance to try out some post processing effects. I must credit much of the processing to James, as I got frustrated trying to get it right myself. I couldn't decide which photo to post so I posted them both! These photos are taken on the 'curly bridge' on Torquay seafront.
At the start of 2007 I set myself a challenge, to take a photo each day and post it to my blog. The idea is to get me out in the fresh air a bit more, exploring places I wouldn't normally go to, and to improve my photographic and editing techniques. There may be the odd day here and there that I don't have time or inclination to take a photo, but I'll still try and make a blog entry using a photo I have taken previously. This blog isn't really a diary as such, it’s more about my photos than about me. My camera is a FujiFilm FinePix E900.
