Three photos, two pictures

A couple of nights ago, I was messing around with Canon’s PhotoStitch program, which is sweet.

Tonight, I realised that, with three photos, I could make two completely different pictures.

Ste is happy

Laughing at Ste:

Ste is sad

I was messing around with Canon’s PhotoStitch program tonight after I noticed that a couple of a friend’s photographs, which were taken a few minutes apart, looked like they could be stitched together.
I like the result.  There was a big difference in the brightness/contrast of the two photos, which I matched the best I could, and there was smoke in one of them, so you can easily see the seam, but I like it.

The Wildhearts at Download Festival 2008 (via scardwel).

Remember that video of Josh Homme losing it with a fan that threw something onstage?

Last week at Download, The Wildhearts played and actually invited the crowd to throw things on stage for most of their set.

This is the beginning of their last song, before the organisers cut the power on them because they’d overrun.  But not before Ginger had managed to catch an egg someone threw at him.

This was one of the best sets I saw at Download.  You could tell the band were loving it, the crowd was loving it and there was great interaction between everyone.  I wasn’t the biggest Wildhearts fan before I saw them, but I love them now.

Because dental hygiene is important.  Even at music festivals.
Don’t adjust your screen, there was a problem with the film, but I kind of like how it looks.

I’ll try to make this the last photo from Download that I put up, but this is one of my favourite photos from the weekend.  Heading into the arena on the first day of bands.
Ste was taking the photo, so he’s not in it (I’m starting to regret not getting someone to take a photo of all six of us at some point), but this photo just makes me happy.

I took a photo of Ste taking a photo while also taking a photo of what Ste was taking a photo of!

Ali and I watched Lostprophets headline the final night at Download.  We were standing close to the guy holding the red Che Guevara flag to the right of the singer.

The rest of the gang at Download, an hour after setting up our tents.
Note the bar we set up in the car boot is open and already in business.

Not the best photo that I took at Download, but I think it’s my favourite.  I managed to time it so that I caught a set of fireworks shooting up during the Kiss show on Friday night.
Good times.
