That looks familiar.

I was standing in the queue at the bank waiting to deposit a cheque, day dreaming as usual, when the lady behind me said “That’s a lovely photo.” I looked over to where she was looking and said “Yeah, it’s not bad….Holy #%@*, that’s my photo!!” I apologised for my slip of the tongue and she just laughed it off.

I had been approached about 6 weeks ago for permission to use this photo in a local bank branch.

After some discussion, terms were agreed on and I sent of the high resolution file. This is how it looks at the bank. (I had permission to take this photo and it is taken with the iPhone, not a DSLR.)

Hmm, that looks familiar.

Now, I wonder when I will get paid for it? 🙂

Full Moon Rising, The Photos

Full Moon Rising #3, originally uploaded by norbography.

Well, it was an interesting night. When I got to the spot I wanted to take the photos, there was a storm out to see, pretty much exactly where the moon was due to come up. I got a little bit excited thinking about moon and lightening shots. As it turned out, the storm died about 5 minutes before the moon made its appearance. Bugger.

Ah well, here are 2 of the shots I managed.

The stories behind my photos.

Hello, yes, the blog is still alive, although it has slowed to a crawl. I am slowly going to change the philosophy of the blog from one of photography news and a collection of web sites that delivers content on a regular basis, to one that is less frequent in updates, but more about my experiences in photography. Whooooosh. Hey, come back! I promise I will try and make it entertaining.

I will write more about things like my experience with the new Polaroid film, Photographer or gearhead and the iPhone camera and Apps.

To the people who are groaning and removing the blog from their RSS feed, all I can say is give it a chance. You might still find the site informative and a good read. To the rest of you, I hope you enjoy the ride.

Nom nom nom.
