altarielMore big files below the cut. Last lot. Won't be this boring in future.
Looking across the river.
King's College chapel.
I like the tree on this composition.
Down the river towards Clare bridge.
Looking back to the University Library. At nights you can see flashes of lightning emerging from the top tower, as they make professors.

Date: 2004-03-30 02:10 pm (UTC)What camera did you get?
no subject
Date: 2004-03-31 12:26 am (UTC)Isn't it just? It was particularly beautiful yesterday - sunnier than in these shots, also the blossom is out by now. And quiet - students are gone, wasn't too touristy.
What camera did you get?
Er... it's silver, and it has the word 'Sony' on it... And the word 'Cybershot'... and some letters here: DSC-P72...
The best bit of the present is the little device that reads the camera's memory stick.
no subject
Date: 2004-03-31 01:33 am (UTC)Yes, I noticed that! I'm almost tempted to bunk off work and go round there myself....
Er... it's silver,
;-D Sorry, I shouldn't ask such questions! I've heard good things about that one, though.
...the little device...memory stick
Aren't these things

It's a nice shade of blue too ;-)

Date: 2004-03-31 02:04 am (UTC)Software recommendations for camera fun
Date: 2004-03-30 03:15 pm (UTC)There is a free graphics program that you can download:
http://www.thegimp.com
The Windows version is compatible with most Windows system. It's a Linux freeware package. With this, you can crop pictures, resize them, turn them green, etc. with more details than you can in the Paint program from Windows.
I can also arrange to have you be a "beta user" of a piece of photo-management freeware that I did the documentation for in real life. It allows you to manage your pictures and set them up on pages for printing really easily. It's got some image editing functions as well. Contact me off-journal if you're interested!
Re: Software recommendations for camera fun
Date: 2004-03-31 11:49 am (UTC)I'll drop you a line about the beta software - thank you!

Feeling tempted to take my own camera out, too. Didn't take many in Italy.

When one from Cherry Hinton smiles..."
Will you post your Italy pictures?
no subject
Date: 2004-03-31 03:16 am (UTC)Oy!! Well, actually, I live in Coleridge, but just watch it, ok? ;-)
Will you post your Italy pictures?
I'm really cross with myself in retrospect that I didn't take more. In the end, I took only a handful, which was stupid of me. *kicks self* A couple have us in, but there might be some more general ones that I could post.

I feel a bit self-conscious taking pictures, don't know about you.

Oh, enormously! Also, I should have been more willing to hold things up a bit to stop and take some. But there are still the memories.

So that´s what happened to M, then? Abducted by the will of Sauron TM? :P.

So Saruman has a contract with Cambridge, does he?

Date: 2004-03-31 08:50 am (UTC)I love daffodils, they're jaunty and spirited. I'm glad you like the pictures, I'll try to get some sunnier ones this week. Kicking myself for leaving my camera at home yesterday when I was down the same way.

Heh! I would not be surprised to find out that this was the case.
