Today for work I went to Christ Church in Oxford to survey one of their buildings, and took this while I was there. The building was originally founded in 1524 and parts of the Harry Potter films were recorded there. I would have liked to get the tower more into shot but only stopped for half a second while walking   
 
PP: Auto levels.

  Tbh I don't go out for work purposes that much but I tend to be taking my camera everywhere at the moment   Got a pic of a car in a bush yesterday on the way to work   
 
Cheers though mate   Just wish I had pointed the camera a bit higher. Oh well!

It took me 45 mins to find something to take a picture of and get one that I'm happy with, and this is the result. If it wasn't so late and I was less tired then I'd go further with the selective colour but want to go to bed   
 
PP: Auto levels, duplicated layer and desaturated, erased areas for selective colour, removed some dust with Clone Brush. Increased saturation on Square button with sponge tool.

Looks really sharp again, i'm having the same problems as you thinking of things to take a picture of, and I was going to do my controller 2 days ago, but thought of something else... weird.

Thanks Cavey   I must say I'm pleased with how the pics are turning out considering it's an entry-level camera   That is weird though   I was looking round my room for ages when I realised that I hadn't yet taken a single picture.

Again I had a quick look round to see what there was and spotted this lurking on top of my stereo. Some say he's annoyed at me for keeping him in a box, all we know is - he doesn't look impressed   
 
PP: Auto levels and auto colour.

This is quite a big one! I don't think that it will be possible to take another picture today that will be more significant than this one. This will be my new car in a couple of days. I went to see it today and agreed to buy it   Just need to get the money out the bank and pick it up then it's mine

Today's pic has to be the (soon to be) old car to follow on from yesterday. Here it is just after I had finished washing, claying and then waxing it and using some glass cleaner stuff that Rich H sent me which is top notch. It was my first car and has served me well the past (nearly) two years. I think I'll be sad to see it go tbh, but sometimes you have to go onwards and upwards

It's not often you get a chance to see this much money in one place so I took pictures of it. In this photo there is three thousand, seven hundred and ninety five pounds   That's like... LOADS!   
 
PP: Increased brightness and contrast, used shadow/highlights tool and auto levels colour.

I'm not joking when I say that I saw the 1am weather forecast and got about 4 hours sleep last night

Not taken many pics today as I've been far to busy, the only ones I did get feature the cars   I just thought - I own two cars   The luxury of choice   Can only drive one though   
 
Anywho, It's quite grainy because it was obviously getting dark and it's not that sharp because it was a 1/4 second exposure without a tripod   But this is what I'll submit anyway.

After the recent spate of people taking pictures with various inanimate objects, I thought I'd give it a go   For those that have been living under a rock, it's Gary from Spongebob   He wanted to show me some sweet blues riffs but then got scared being that high up so I played him some A Day To Remember.
