Shoreham Cove Beach Walking Saturday

 
Just a couple of rough-and-ready phonecam panoramas I made while walking along on Saturday arvning.  Everytime I go there I tell myself "I’m NOT going to take any photo’s today…" but most of the time that’s not how it ends up. There’s always something that catches my eye. Most of the time I only have the trusty Motorola V3i along for the trip. Hence the proliferation of phonecam panoramas here on WD.

Moments In Time Caputured In One Take

 
This is an interesting and clever short film. I say that because really it deserves more than the tag of simple "video". Clearly a lot of thought and effort went into the production. The results are high quality.
 

 
An interesting combination of time-lapse and stop-motion.
After watching, click HERE to reveal a surprising twist.

A Possible Problematic Street Name

 
On the surface this appears to be a regular crime story reporting on a regular suburban Friday stabbing that’s becoming so commonplace in our society today that you might wonder WHY it even rates a mention here on the pages of WD. Well click the picture and read the article until you find the reason. clue: the name of the street where the accused was arrested.

Imagine trying to order pizza living on this street.  Or placing credit-card orders over the phone. Or giving the cabbie your address at 3.15am after a big night out.    Note also the name of the photographer.  If he lived on this street just imagine the kind of trouble HE would have trying to taken seriously when giving out his name and address
 
UPDATE:  Click HERE to view the actual street in all it’s glory.

Would You Hire This Guy As Your Lawyer ?

 
The law firm of Brady, Connolly & Masuda - Attorneys At Law in Chicago, Illinois has a company website. Nothing unusual there. On that website they have professional bio’s of the attorneys that work there. Nothing unusual there either.
 
Normally when a company creates such a profile they will use a picture that does justice to the individual involved. Something flattering. Something that inspires confidence with potential customers. All sounds good right ?   Well apparently something slipped through the cracks over at Brady, Connolly & Masuda that leave us asking the question…
 
Your honour.. if it pleases the court I'd like to plead INSANITY !!!
 
Would you hire Michael Brandow to represent YOU in court

Check Out These Demonic Bedroom Curtains

 
These disturbing photos were taken with phonecam by WD after a big night out. Sitting on the edge of the bed, pondering if it was safe to lay my head down on the pillow, or if I needed to remain vertical just a bit longer. As I sat there reviewing the events of the night in my head, I noticed strange and demonic patterns appearing on the curtains in the room I was staying. The actual location will remain closely guarded secret for fear of Christian Fundamentalist reprisals. Those of you who recognise these curtains will know where they exist. Keep the secret safe, for the good of all that is holy and sacred.

Let me tell you, it’s was quite freaky at 4.12am in the morning when these images leapt out at me from what had once been merely simple bedroom curtains, but will now forever henceforth be known as DEMONIC…

WD’s Saturday City Walkabout

 
Wiggum Daily was up in the city on Saturday for various appointments and did lots of walking around the CBD. Was in no particular hurry, having planned way ahead, so that afforded me some time to stop along the way and breakout the trusty WD Phonecam. Got these three panorama pics.

Given the obvious limitations of the WD Phonecam - low resolution of just 1MP, and slooow cycles times between shots of 12-15 seconds, I particularly like the flag stadium pano where I’ve manage to successfully capture the flag in mid flutter, which became the key-frame of the pano. There were 18 individual phonecam  photos taken, two layers high, to make that one. Click HERE to view a slide show of the original phonecam photos.
 
You can click HERE and HERE to view maps of the exact places these pics were taken from. One day I’ll get motivated and venture up the track to the city and take a REAL camera along.
