Photos taken with my new digital camera

hpoom — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 15:43:41 +0000

Over the years I have been pleased with the results I have got from my old digital camera, but recently I felt it is time to upgrade and get something better. After dropping some hints to Mum and Dad I got a nice new digital camera for my Birthday. As my new camera, a Fuji FinePix S9600, has lots more buttons that my old camera I though I better take it out for a play. Below is an example of the first few pictures I have managed to capture. I am sure I will be posting a lot more photos up here soon.

hpoom — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 19:57:49 +0000

Just got back from Brighton Kite Festival. Had a great day, only problem was I forgot to take my camera. I did manage to take some pictures with my phone, so here they are. The pictures are of some Peter Lynn designed Gecko kites, a large set of Flexifoil Stackers, and Carl and James Robertshaw (Team Evolver) flying a pair of Revolutions. We also got a chance to fly Faye’s Flexifoil Orbit for a bit too. Enjoy the pictures.

Our Pet Leopard Geckos

hpoom — Mon, 20 Feb 2006 13:42:32 +0000

Last year I ran out of ideas of what to get Faye for Christmas. We had chatted about getting some kind of reptile as a pet for a few months and after some reading on the internet Leopard Geckos seamed like an easy reptile to start with. So November 2004 we visited Jay’s Exotic Pets in Ashford and looked at some Leopard Geckos, I told Faye of my plan to get them as a Christmas present and that idea went down well.

When we bought them they were approximately 9 months old. They are called Leo and Gemini and they are both Female Leopard Geckos. We have had them for over a year now and they seam very happy in their enclosure.

Enjoy the pictures!

Sound Mirrors Of The Kent Coast

hpoom — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 15:00:29 +0000

I couple of years ago I went on a hunt to find Kent’s Sound Mirrors. I had seen an album cover of the new Turin Brakes album that was out “Ether Song”, the cover art features a picture of the band members sitting in front of a Sound Mirror. Being curious I searched Sound Mirror on the internet a came across Andrew Grantham’s Website. He has one of the best Sound Mirror sites on the internet with information about Sound Mirrors all over the world and some pictures of them as well. I found information on where the Folkstone and Hythe Sound Mirrors are, but was struggling to get information on the location of the Three Denge Sounds Mirrors. After a couple of email chats with Andrew I had the locations, and so the quest began.

On 18th April 2003 I set out with friends of mine, Faye and Mike on a mission to visit Folkstone, Hythe and Denge Sound Mirrors (in that order). It was a great day out that just got better and better as the locations we visited became more impressive. The highlight of my day was capturing many good pictures of the Sound Mirrors that are on the Kent coast. I have recently read that the Denge Sound Mirrors no longer have public access, this prompted me to write this short piece and display some pictures so that all can now enjoy what I have been able to see. These really are impressive feats of engineering and visiting them made for a great day out!
