Evening surfers


These surfers were enjoying the evening waves, so I popped the long lens on and shot away.

The steaming tree


 Not everyday you see a steaming tree. The sun was on one side and drying it out.

Bleeping madness... Noise


 I've talked before about how annoying things bleeping are these days. If anything it's getting worse not better.
 My car bleeps to tell me... well just about everything, from reverse gear to low screen wash. God help if you dont fasten your seat belt or actually put a bag of shopping on a seat, it goes into meltdown, if you really want to stress it drive with a beg of shopping on the seat and a door open, it has to decide which bleep is more important.
 Computers bleep again for just about everything, plug-in a pendrive/zipdrive and it chime to tell me, why? do thing connect to usb without you knowing? I've yet to find a usb attachment that plugs itself in. 
 Lately a new insidious BLEEP is happening, vehicles reversing. Yes it's not a new thing I know, but now just about every bloody van has it, add in the fact I live on a one way street and twats like to reverse down it to save going around the block and it's a fucking pain in the arse.
 Another new safety idea is to fit ride on lawn mowers with a constant bleep to let you know it there and working.   Frankly if you can't hear a socking big petrol lawn mower working  I have no idea how you'll hear the bleep, it's hard to hear over the racket the mower makes, so totally pointless.
 Another thing I'm seeing is more and more people using their mobile phones on speaker, obviously they think their conversations are so important we all need to hear it.  No it just makes you look a twat

Waves... big waves


 I went out to play with a new lens and ended up shooting with my old one, I didn't want to change lens and miss a wave.

Expedition bigfoot EP4 it gets worse


 Ok I said at the beginning I didn't have high hopes, these series always end up crap and fake with little or no real science attempt to locate bigfoot. This one is going that way.
 In this episode we see them examine a bigfoot nest.. Lots of excitment and sample taking, the problem is if you watch the video very carefully you can see some of the branches of the shelter are cut cleanly with a saw. Obviously bigfoot is more advanced than we thought.
 Later we see then get close-ish to a claimed bigfoot, you see a faint heat blob on the thermal camera (the ones I've seen are way better quality) so they switch on red lights to see it. WTF!
 Oh they explain most animals cant see red, courious then that hunters dont wear red clothes but camo. Also in earlier episode they were quite happy using high power white torches to search for bigfoot, but not when theres a risk of us actually seeing it properly.  I wonder why, I'm guessing it's a cheap bigfoot suit.
