Over the past few weeks I’ve mentioned the idea of HDR photography, which stands for High Dynamic Range photography. Here’s my first try, with an image I took this evening from my hotel balcony in Kusadasi, Turkey. The basic idea is that you lock your camera on a tripod, and take three photos in a [...]

I was a away for two weeks this month, on this trip: The trip mixed business and leisure, but even the business was quite fun. First up, I spent a week at the Sundance Nature Park for the Turkish Juggling Festival. I posted loads of photos on my blog, and daily diary too, but I [...]

After adding a bit about the history of the routine, Marky J asked a good question: My show is isn’t really choreographed that tightly and the tricks I attempt normally depend on the crowd, conditions, [...]

First up, answering some questions from yesterday: “How high is the mountain?” 2365m, or 7760 ft. “How did you manage to map the 3D track onto the 3D Maps? Did you use a special app on the iPhone? Or was this a from a dedicated GPS unit?” The way I made the 3D map was [...]

Today started in the typical fashion; a swim in the sea, a hot shower (and shave today) and a big breakfast from the cafe. At 12 noon we gathered to catch some buses to the Tahtali Mountain. Tahtali is one of the many mountains once called Mount Olympus, home of the Greek pantheon of gods. [...]

Yay, I’m at the chillingest juggling convention ever. It’s like Bristol 9 dayer, but in Turkey, right next to the sea, so gets plus 100 awesome points due to hot weather and handy swimming. I arrived yesterday, very tired due to lack of sleep and too much travelling. The site is the Sundance Nature Camp, [...]
