Garden Route Dam

Here are a couple of photo’s that i took in early August of the garden route dam and some new ones i took today (image quality differ quite a bit) According to the newspaper the dam level is below 25% and our current consumption is 26ML per day. With no sight of good rains before February things are looking quite bleak for a lot of people.

 

Here are the photos i took today

Never Say Never

When i was in second year at university we had to integrate  crystal reports into one of our small uni apps. On that day i told my lecturer ” I will NEVER work with crystal reports in my life again!” I didn’t see the use of it, it was old reporting tool with limited uses and you could only manipulate it so much, there are so many better reporting tools to use. Well seems there was a reason for them teaching us some crystal reports, I have been working almost full time with Crystal reports for the last 2-3 months. Carma?

So now i know a lot more of  Crystal and i can see why they created it and how it can be useful for non-programmer people needing simple reports, but still allowing the programming to add some hardcore features. Personally I would prefer working with different tools but… dare I say it is the best tool for the current situation.

I see a couple of “nevers” waiting for their turn to come and have their turn with me.

 

Vanilla shots

I did a bit of reading, you know, the basics of taking photos: ISO, shutterspeed Aperture but the most important know your camera. So i set out to play around with the camera a bit and here are some vanilla shots i took. i hope you like them. feel free to leave comments / positive critism  (just a small catch up the pics were taken with a Canon eos 350D with the standard 55mm lens)

Some Rainy Photos

Technorati Tags: ,,,,

We’ve had quite a drought in the area for a while now, and it seems like its finally letting up. So i took advantage of the situation of not being able to leave the house and almost everyone taking a mid-day nap (it was my turn to do the laundry as well)

So i grabbed my dad’s camera and then took some kiki’s, it is the first time i post some of my photos, so i hope you like them please leave a comment. I really like photography but don’t really know if I’m doing everything right.(i resized them a bit 10mb is a bit big)
