Bachalpsee

This is one of my favourite places I have travelled to so far. It's in Switzerland, in the Bernese Oberland region. There's a map for you to pan around.

STFC Photowalk

Last Thursday, STFC hosted a photo competition around site. It was open to members of the public as well as staff. We are allowed to submit 5 photos.

I’ve narrowed it down to 10, but I’m so indecisive, and everyone in my family seems to have a different opinions.

Panorama-ama

At the start of second year computer science, we were taught the concept of image stitching. There’s a lot of complicated maths involved, but it was understandable, and more importantly, interesting. Turns out my lecturer had previously contributed to the panorama stitching feature in Windows Live Photo Gallery. He’s even got an app!

Anyway, before I had those lectures, I was still using the tool to stitch photos together. When I went to Venice with the 6th form in 2010, I took a burst of photos from the top of a tower overlooking most of the city.

A Picture Tells A Thousand Words

Another thing I want to write about is that of some of my photos. Sometimes a photo isn't fully justified by just a single line description on Facebook. Each photo has a story, as yet untold. Now, I'm not aiming to write a thousand words about every photo I put up here (that would just be silly), but a paragraph, or two, or three – more than I would normally write on Facebook.
