Day Twenty - Fog

The last two days there has been the most intense fog i've seen sitting over Hobart in quite some time. The sky looked pretty crazy tonight too so I thought i'd go out and shoot a photo over the city. It's always interesting using the fisheye for nightscapes too.

Upon getting home and looking at the photos on the screen I also realised I should have cleaned my lens beforehand. Nothing the old healing tool in photoshop can't fix though.

Please FULL VIEW this one. It looks a lot nicer at high res.

Thought i'd add another photo I took today too. Quite in contrast to the night scape.

Day Nineteen - Pakkun

Today was somewhat interesting. Anyone who's lived in Hobart for a long enough period knows who the bag lady is. Whether by name, or by recognition when they see her in the street. She walks around aimlessly each day and is constantly chatting away to herself about the most random things. She walked by us today as Max and I were having coffee in north hobart muttering something about mixers and blending fruit so we stopped her and offered her a seat. Usually she wouldn't even give eye contact or even register that anyone was talking to her at all. Today, however, she joined us for a cigarette and a nice long chat. I might add that the conversation didn't go anywhere at all but Max and I were both in tears by about half way through and this didn't phase her one bit. She kept yacking on about fruit trees, kids, government houses, guinea pigs and mixers. Somehow each sentence wanders off on it's own little tangent.

She may remember us next time she has a sane moment, or she may not. I don't really mind. What's important is she said she'd be in our show. So there you go. Now we just have to wait till we run into her again!

Okay on to the photo. I went for a short drive after work to try and capture the fog that was hanging over the city tonight. It was really quite beautiful. However my tripod is a piece of shit and I couldn't get any sharp long exposures so I gave up and came home.

The Naruto anime is finally out of the filler arc and slammed back into the storyline with friday's episode and it was the best episode I think i've ever seen. That's why this photo is somewhat relevant. Pakkun is great.

Playing with Gels at midnight.
Peace.
