EX#5 Some Flickr fun!

Well, I first made an attempt on this Excersise on Wednesday evening and must admit got nowhere fast.  So of course went into work today and sought some help from our Appointed Tutor down there and of course, Tutor came up trumps, as always and effortlessly led me through the intricasies of the Exercise with such ease and finesse that I was left speechless with admiration.  This is the result of my endeavours.

About the image.  It is taken from my own Computer and is one that I had uploaded to Flickr earlier.  The day on which it was taken was one of those beautifully fine days that we had earlier this winter before the rains came,  I think early in June.  We were in Telephone Rd up in Birkenhead visiting a friend and luckily had I had our Camera with me.  I am not always so well prepared.......

Special thanks to Tutor.

Rainy Tuesday!

Yet more rain and an ideal time to sit down and attack excersise #4.  This involves us going in and Exploring Flickr, which seems an ideal occupation when it all looks so grey outside.  You can escape anywhere and view anything, the possibilities are endless.

I am amazed at the amount of Talent there seems to be out there.  I know that the Digital Camera has revolutionised the whole way that you now take a "photo," but at the same time it does seem to have unleashed a whole new "Creative Wave."

I settled for an Auckland shot, one of the City at night.  I would imagine that it has been enhanced possibly, but what the heck.  I always love the sight of the City lit up as seen from a distance and that's why I picked it.  Here is the link to my selected image:- http://www.flickr.com/photos/krmuir/2086371096

The Photographer was someone called Ken Muir and obviously he is keen on landscapes.  

Still Playing....  I do think that by experimenting I have added what is called a "Page" to my site.  Have I got it right?  Am I getting too ahead of myself?  No doubt someone will bring me crashing back to earth.  Cocky is as Cocky does and Pride does come before a fall.  So many cliche's in such a short Posting.  But you know what I mean......

Back again!

Well, here I am again, drawn back to this Site out of sheer curiosity.  Have just discovered that I have to learn to differentiate between a "Post" and a "comment." Guess that each visit will help me to polish up what few skills I have in this new field of expertise.  

The Training Team ackowledged that I was successful with regards to Execise #2, but I still have to wait to see what they said about Exercise #3.  I forwarded it to them yesterday (the 22nd.)  Am I being too impatient?  

Following some last minute tips from our Liason person in my Branch of the Library today, (it has been very busy down there what with one thing and another) I have been able to access my profile and do some editing if only for the sheer hell of doing it.

Well, I must away to check e-mails.  Now that I have joined up with G-mail there are three adddresses to check.....  Then it is "free time" for this little puppy!

Phew!

Well, I think I have done it.  Accomplished Exercise #2 and forwarded the URL to The Training Team.  Will wait to see if Karen acknowledges it and then and only then will I know that all of the effort was worthwhile.  Am I a keen fan of blogging just yet?  Well I reserve my judgment for the moment.  Read my profile and you will see that I am a very private individual who doesn't reveal details of what I am doing to all and sundry.  Well, I make an exception of Auntyof3, seeing as she is a special friend and is famous for her  for her discretionary skills.
