CHAT - IN YOUR DREAMS Weekly Comp 31st Dec 2012 to 6th Jan 2013

[Matthew]

Was out this morning.....light was a bit flat, but got a nice shot of an oil rig........not my entry as it's not on theme. So as I travelled homeward along a country road looking for any last minute inspiration, I pulled over into a passing place and looked up.......I won't give it away as I still got to upload it to my drive, but it's amazing what you can miss if you don't look...

Lucky you - light flat  its duller than dull again here at present; so I may have to think of a new idea 

[Hinfrance]

I haven't even got an idea . .

[Beaux Reflets]

Well the weather does not look as though it will lighten up for days here, so I am thinking I have to come up with another idea; unless I get a lucky break 

[Reinardina]

You're looking rather owlish today Andy. Is that to be able to see better in this murky weather?

To come back to the OS; I never had any problems with Vista. It did everything I wanted and more, probably, that I never discovered.

The new one ... I'll have to get used to it I suppose. One difference I have discovered so far: it seems to have a built in spell checker. I get 'warnings' when I make a typo on this site and also on Flickr. That is a positive, as I tend to make loads of typos.

Been out all day, just returned; tired and a little sleepy.  The weather here is extremely dull too; grey damp and too warm to be pleasant.

Realised my 'nightmare' is more than a tad skewed, so I'll try to get that right before I enter it.

I believe it is a Horny Owl Reinardina 

I need spell checkers as well - English rather than American English - even more so as I seem to have very fat fingers and keep missing the keys or hitting the wrong ones.

Would OMG be an appropriate reaction?    I didn't know. Does it mean, its eyesight is second to other qualities?   

My brain is (still) faster then my typing, so I tend to skip letters. I also type them in reverse order, which is a new, but very annoying habit.

I have not got a clue, not knowing much about these owlish birds Re. I just thought this one looked quite smart and alert 

Now must get back on track, and see if I can come up with something for "In Your Dreams" 

[Reinardina]

Couldn't really improve my 'Nightmare' much. Simply couldn't get it the way I wanted. 
So I'm in with Nightmare 2, which is slightly less wonky.

[Matthew]

In with this:

[Delamanda]

I uploaded my dream shot and then realised it was taken last Sunday - the New Year period just seems to merge into one haze - so the dream remains the same, just not such a dreamy way of showing it!

[Beaux Reflets]

A toughy for me this week, against the poor light, but I'm in with a pair of Pinkpuffs

[Matthew]

light was poor up here all day too. Was out for a walk, but took the camera for any chance photo's, but no, very odd light. Was throwing the sensor into all sorts of weird exposures.

[Oldboy]

Yes, the light was bad here as well. I thought a high meant clear blue skys but not in England it seems.

Sorry no entry from me this week, I have not even taken my camera out of it's bag this weekend. 

I managed to get in the garden now that it has dried out a bit after all the rain.
