Lightpainting
Sometimes you need to have some fun, enjoy the process and not worry too much about the outcome. So when I saw that my Christmas tree lights had not yet been put away, I plugged them in, took out my camera, set it on a low shutter speed and did some finger painting!
The results are a little abstract and trivial, but I had loads of fun, and sometimes that is what it is all about.
Although thinking about it, the bright lights in front of a black background could be an omen on the future of the SOAP bill; I hope so.
Here are a few more of the pictures.
Stop SOPA
On January 18th, 2012 the Internet is going on strike to stop the SOPA web censorship bills in US Congress. Notes from the Cape will be joining the strike (along with Reddit, Wikipedia, Mizilla, Tucows, WordPress and a number of other sites) , and will be down for 12 hours, from 8am to 8pm.
While this bill is a US bill, it will have a profound effect on ALL Internet users, and you can lodge your protest as a US or non-US person.
You can find out more information here: http://sopastrike.com/ or here http://americancensorship.org.
On the water
I spotted these early morning paddlers while driving to work, so I grabbed my phone and took the shot. I like the way the duck appears to be watching the paddlers.

2 CommentsStrawberries for breakfast
I love the deep red colours of ripe and juicy strawberries, and what better way to eat them that for breakfast with muesli. Unfortunately this is the tail-end of the season so that are not as quote big as a couple of months ago, but still an excellent way to start the day.

After the previous two action photos, here is something to mellow down a little with. This was a long exposure (30 second) shot taken on the rocks of Muzienberg beach just after sunset. No, there is no HDR processing involved. This is just how it came out.
Here is another shot from the same shoot – enjoy!
