World of dreams.... Mercedes Benz World

Hello friends,

I almost didn't remember the password to get into the blog website. Just goes to show how long it has been since my last post.

Well I'll try and make up for it.... promise.

Today we decided to take the family for a trip out (I think Wanda and the kids were getting a little cabin fever!!)

We ended up ging to Mercedes world, just about 45 minutes away from home, so not too far to travel. Now, if you love Mercedes, you will never want to leave Mercedes World.

They had almost all the current models on display and the best part, you could get into most of them and play with the controls.

They also had on show the first Mercedes !!
The other attraction of course is the F1 racers, wow what a sight!!

It's really great for the kids too. If you are willing to spend £35 your kid of 11 years or older can have the opportunity to drive a real car with a driving instructor of course!!!

Hi there,

Well I have to admit that this was a pretty tough module for me... tried a lot of different things and then DW Wanda came up with the great Idea of using bubbles... I think it worked like a charm.

Well here they are, my 3 best images for this module...

Thanks for looking.

It's a winner!!!


Hi Everyone,

So here goes...

Week 1 - Changing the viewpoint



Week 2 - Using the texture



Week 3 - Framing the shot


Week 4 - Turn and Tilt the Camera



Week 5 - Looking for Light


Week 6 - People


Watch this space for the rest..... promise I will do them a lot quicker!!
