My December 2008 Photos

Last Post: My November 2008 Photos

If you regularly drop by my blog then you’ll of noticed I post a selection of my photos at the end of each month, just to brighten things up!

December – for most, it’s a pretty crazy chaotic month where places of work throw the annual Christmas party, groups of friends unite to celebrate the year (fuelled by alcohol?!), and the time to see all those family members you don’t get to see all that often…

I’ve been out and about and as usual have a selection of photos… Some taken on my mobile phone, a Samsung Omnia which has a 5MP camera, some taken on my Digital SLR, a Canon EOS 400D (Digital Rebel XTi), and some taken on my compact digital camera, a Canon Digital IXUS 750.

Early December Moon

I love a bit of moon, and if you do, I’d recommend having a look at the original (3888 x 2592).

Out of Focus Lights

I was messing about with my focus when I realised this looked pretty cool. Flickr has a huge amount of photos like this under bokeh. I’m not too sure whether I can count mine as bokeh, some people seem to be very specific about it so I wouldn't want to upset anyone!

December Sunflower

Early December, in fact, most of December in London has been dull, grey, cold, and just miserable, so to brighten things up, whilst going to get the Christmas tree I picked up a bunch of sunflowers which really made a huge difference and you can see why from this capture!

The Christmas Tree

The Christmas Tree

This is the first Christmas tree I have gotten since living away from my parents, that’s now been, er, 2-3years. My girlfriend says you can tell it’s been decorated by a bloke! Well, I like it!

From Waterloo Bridge

From Waterloo Bridge
I was walking through London to meet my work colleagues for a couple of Christmas drinks and as I walked across Waterloo Bridge, for the first time, I didn’t realise the view was so good! I took this on my phone, but really wished I had a proper camera on me!

Mr Shifter – this is the PG Tips monkey! My girlfriend really likes it (him?), so I managed to get hold of one as one as part of her Christmas presents.

This is me (Tom), Ehsan and Drew on a night out for Christmas celebrations… Honestly, Ehsan is enjoying himself, he’s just pulling his “Don’t mess with me” face. 

The End…. of 2008…. See you in 2009! :-)
