So, driving back from a friends place tonight and well i had another.
driving past on the river bank you can see the bridges along the river there is a great shot there. next time i drive past i will have to stop and take the photo. ill need a tripod..or maybe rest it on the rails. ill bring the tripod just in case.
nightshot: Chelsea? or Battersea Bridge? lit up with lights a long reflection on the surface of the water.
I've seen this shot for many years its always there.

photos ive missed
when your taking the camera with you everywhere you go and then one day you decide not to take it. what happens? you miss an amazing shot!
what do you do? forget about it and move on another amazing shot will come again soon. dont miss it this time!
today i missed a shot this morning on the way to work.
that haze from the heat on the road when i was driving up into the parking lot. when i walked back to the same spot. it was already gone and ill be running late if i stayed anylonger.
it looked like reflections on dry tarmac. amazing

Illustrator is a very powerful tool, only recently have i exposed myself to alot more of this wonderful package. It creates the ever so popular vector images.
One interesting tool within Illustrator (or whichever vector program you use) is the gradient mesh tools.
This is the tutorial that i used today to learn the basics of this tool. whats interesting about this tool is the advanced level of shading that can be done using it in illustrator. instead of working on layers and layers of shading for each shade, Use this to get a gradiented fill instead.
there are some impressive examples from this site below

The * button on my camera is the metering lock.
Say the subject is backlit what you need to do is to meter lock the somewhere shadier to trick the camera into over exposing the back ground to bring up the details on the subject. i havent put it into practice yet but it sounds relatively easy to include this into my "taking photo process".
frame. set aperture/shutter. meter lock. compose. focus. recompose. shoot
any one with "taking photo process" tips are welcome to comment
