Olympus E-500

Cycling home from work, the same way I typically drive each day, I came across a small paddock of sheep. What surprised me was it is in the middle of suburbia (and land value is at record levels), but also that I’ve never seen it. It really shows how the world can fly by you as you drive here and there, only catching a glimpse of what’s around. On the bicycle, I have more time to take it in.
Today’s image shot on the iPod touch, I used an app photo toaster to adjust colour,crop and add a texture layer. It’s a fun and competent small photo app!

With a half marathon coming up soon I decided it was time to get back moving in prep and took the bicycle out to work.
What I always find interesting in Auckland is the small time difference bike vs car is on local rush hour commutes. Sure it takes a little longer, but not to the degree that I need to leave earlier at all.
On top of that,I’m getting some much needed exercise in.
As a side note, I’ve started using an iPod touch for my ‘mobile shots’. With my galaxy s2 going to the other half, I’ve stepped back from the smartphone world (must be two or more months now), but like a small device for apps and photos still. So far I’m finding it great.
