Panoramic Photographs

Panoramic Photographs

This was originally posted on my now-defunct creative blog.

My lovely wife and I recently went on our Honeymoon, and whilst learning how to use the panorama function on my camera, I took some interesting photographs.

This photo was taken in Brixham, which is a fishing town. Looking out from the harbour, I wanted to try and capture the scope and sheer amount of boats waiting in one photograph. This nautically themed image is available to buy as a print, canvas or poster at RedBubble.

Our Honeymoon – Day 8

Day eight, we drove home. The cats were happy to see us when we arrived, as were the boys. There not being any scales in our apartment, I had no idea if I had put on weight. Well, I say I had no idea, but it was really obvious to be honest - I was drinking 2-3 pints of lager…

Day seven was our last day at Lurcombe, sadly. We went to Becky Falls, which was awesome. I love a good walk. I experimented with the panorama setting on my camera, and came up with some quite lovely shots, the best of which you can look at and buy prints of here, or you can look at them and read…

Our Honeymoon – Day 6

We went to Torquay on day six. There was a lack of good shops and/or arcades - I distinctly remember there being a good arcade here a couple of years ago. We went on the big wheel this time, it was quite good to see the town from that angle. They were playing Daft Punk's Get Lucky while we were…

Our Honeymoon – Day 5

Day five was a proper chill day. We went to Dartington Shops, saw some cool artwork by a guy called Moose, went to a farm shop and bought some cheesecake, some ham, some cheese, some general farm goods, and made ourselves a ploughman's for lunch. We watched some Dexter, had paella for tea, then we spent the rest of the…

Our Honeymoon – Day 4

We had no eggs left on day four and it was a little bit rainy. This made me want to sadface all over the place, but then I remembered it was our Honeymoon, so I stopped being sad and went back to being awesome. We went to the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth on this day, and they have a…

Our Honeymoon – Day 3

On Day 3 we finished off the last of the farm eggs (which tasted so much better than regular eggs it must be said), and went to Brixham. I like Brixham, it has a nice atmosphere, and a nice fishy smell to it. I drank too many random beers the night before, and I was hanging a little bit, so…

Our Honeymoon – Day 2

Sunday was Jane's birthday. I slept very well, had a nice green tea in bed, then a bowl of Just Right and some delicious scrambled farm eggs on rustic wholemeal toast. The shower in our apartment was incredible - kind of sunk into the ground. We went off to Cockington on this day, Cockington Court in particular. Jane downloaded a…

Our Honeymoon – Day 1

Day one. This started at home, early Saturday morning. Unlike previous holidays, where I've not really been bothered about getting up early on a Saturday morning ready to travel, I don't tend to work stupidly early on a Saturday morning anymore, so getting up at 5 in the morning hurt. And it didn't help that I did not sleep very…

Animatronic Dinosaurs

This was originally posted in the Bloggers section on the now-defunct Poopgang forum. Just got back from holiday the other day, we went to Bideford Bay in Devon, it was quite nice. Couple of bad days with rain, but all in all a nice experience. We even saw some animatronic dinosaurs, lovely. I really enjoyed the drive down there -…
