Did you find you were allergic to Facebook or something ?
I have just started a photography project after being inspired by Gadget's Facebook image project where he was capturing a photograph every day.
I've just started (competed 1/52 weeks ) my 365 day project which I'm blogging (see links in signature to Flickr and My Blog) I was just wondering if anyone else is doing something similar?
We could set up a Ceroc Scotland Photography group on Flickr
Unfortunately as I'm no longer on Facebook I can't follow Gadget's progress.
Kudos to him though.. I blatantly ripped his idea off
This is going to be a tough challenge .. might need to come back to dancing .. if only for good photography material

No .. didn't for one moment think he invented it. But Kudos to him for starting the photo-a-day challenge himself.. and kudos for inspiring me
exceedingly. I developed a nasty rash. So deleted all the friends with names that included the letters "R","A","S" & "H", it didn't work.. I then deleted all the friends I had anything in common with, then all the friends I had little in common with, then all the friends I had nothing in common with, finally the friends I'd never actually met.
in the end I deleted myself.. it was easier and the rash cleared up.. so it worked
I'm not disciplined enough to do PAD, but I do like the idea of a Ceroc Scotland Flickr group for those of us who use Flickr - it would be a nice way to share our photos with each other.

this is my latest shot.. it might just be the Geek in me.. but everytime I look at this I get Sir Alec Guinness in my head telling me "That's no moon"

ew !
As for the pic.. I'm surprised that , on a hot sunny day, you don't see loads of Londoner Homeless eating crispy roast duck directly under the focal point of that thing
actually on a semi serious note.. if the sun was in the right place I suspect that might pose a dazzle hazard to any overhead aircraft
(note to self.. next time I'm being chased by a police helicopter at night run in front of this thing!! )
If it is properly constructed then it's actually quite a dangerous structure. Although assuming that the orientation of the dish is fixed, it's probably only dangerous for a few minutes on a couple of days a year, and even then, only if the sun's shining.
Below is one of my favourite science videos of the moment.
I can't wait to see his next project, which will feature more mirrors and a larger dish.
The focal length is far too short to do that, although this project may interest you, which uses flat mirrors set on a very large radius (i.e. a small slice of an extremely shallow dish) to target an object only a few 10s of yards away.
Here's a bigger (though less destructive) variation:

In case you have not done so allready
Do look at this work by Timothy Allen for BBCs Human Planet
