Capturing December - Challenge Accepted

Whilst on Pinterest the other night I came across a photo-a-day challenge that someone had pinned. This challenge is entitled 'Capturing December' and lasted for the whole month and, being Christmas, had a Christmassy theme to it. I repinned it with a view to perhaps having a go at it. Now, I've decided that am going to take up the challenge! All of the photos that I take will be uploaded to my Flickr account and then posted on here with a little bit about why I chose that particular photo for the category of the day.

There will be no Instagram, but maybe a bit of Photoshop here and there.

So here's the challenge! Keep checking back throughout December to see how it's going.

Multi-platform in Action

Last night my flatmate and her friend stayed up to watch American election on TV, both of them being politics students. I stayed with them for a while watching it and it suddenly occurred to me that I was witnessing multi-platform viewing in action! The TV was on in the living, my flatmate was sitting on the sofa on her iPad and her friend was on the same sofa on her iPhone. Both checking Twitter and various other websites linked to the election.

It was quite a strange sight in ways as, in the Digital Media Cultures lecture especially, we often touch on second screen experiences when watching TV but to actually be able to watch it happen was quite funny in a way.
