I took this photo during a boat drill last week. The lens on the iPhone camera isn’t particularly wide angled, but the curved mirror took care of that. Pity the mirror was so dirty. You can now see all my photos from the trip so far at the Sosauce.com gallery.

As promised earlier on my twitter feed; a sea lion, a penguin, some other birds, and… oh well, no dolphins today.

In my continuing experimentationing with self portrait, I’ve taken quite a few interesting images in the last few days. I’ve got two good shots with my iPhone camera, but I’ve not transferred them to my laptop yet. Here are two photos from the beach in Peurto Madryn. Through the grass: Ducking into the frame:

A walk in Puerto Madryn

Today the ship stopped in Puerto Madryn, Argentina. The only reason it calls at this port is because the area is swarming with sea lions, penguins, whales, dolphins and walruses. I wanted to go on a day-long trip to see some of these animals, but I had to stay on board for a crew boat [...]

In Buenos Aires I walked past this (I think) university building. I became slightly obsessed with the red and white stones in the gravel. This photo was taken with the camera literally resting on the ground. This is a three exposure HDR photo, something I’ve not used yet with a human in the frame. Normally [...]

I only took five photos in Montevideo. Two of Bob and Nora, one of the cruise ship, one of some tango dancers, and the photo above. It’s a HDR photo, but the tone mapping is, I hope, not overly unrealistic.

Today I visited Montevideo. It’s a small city, in a small country, and there’s really not a whole lot to do. Especially if you’ve been there ten or eleven times before. Thankfully Bob and Nora, some friends from Germany, were in town. They are traveling around South America, and a cheap cabin on the Norwegian [...]

Many of the photos I take are of buildings or animals or landscapes. Sometimes I take photos of people. I rarely take photos of myself. I was thinking recently “why not?” and couldn’t come up with a good answer. So I’ve decided to try out some self portrait shots, and make them more interesting than [...]

Taking wildlife photos is usually a job for long zoom lenses. For a lot of these shots I’ve used a 70-300mm. But when wildlife isn’t very wild, and actually rather tame, I can use my wide angle lens instead. This shot took a loooong time to get just right, but I’m very happy with the [...]

I have a show tonight. Two shows, in fact. They should be pretty good, as it is the first time I’ve performed on a large stage on a cruise ship since May. However, last night I drank too much and I’m a bit hung over. Here’s a photo of two lizards fighting. Yes, more lizard [...]
