Here are the results of a recent trip to Graffham, a village nestled at the feet of the South Downs.

Plane Panorama
Panoramas do work when your moving, Observe:
Kew Gardens
Me + t’other half had some time off, so we went to various places, including Lego Land (awesome), Chessington world of adventures (Huge Queues, which smelt of wee)and Kew Gardens.
it was epically hot. Anyway, picture time.

Hotel Room Panorama
On the left is the sexy convention center. n square miles of air conditioning. Although for NAB 2011 we didn’t need it, During the setup I was wearing a fleece and a hunting jacket.
Street photography
Here’s an attempt at street photography.
Heygate Picture Number 2
This is the second picture from the Heygate shoot. This one was shot on my nikon d40, unlike the last panorama(that was a little canon ixus). Sadly with all the colour and detail this picture was pretty boring.
So to make it (hopefully) a little more interesting I removed the colour and reduced almost to a silhouette
Movie time
At the previous place of work I was asked to look after some motion capture tests. Here’s a director being introduced to the idea of a virtual camera.
Sexy blur
Every now and then some mistakes are worth keeping.
possibly….
Shardtastic
Anybody who has passed through central London in the last few months will have seen the new tower block being built in Southwark. Its called “The Shard” and its massive. When its finished it’ll be bigger than Canary Warf.
Forgive the “jaunty” angle, I still only have a 50mm lens, so anything close has to be made using multiple images. I haven’t got round to painting in the edges yet.
Ghetto Film Scanning
Film scanning is a pain. Some scanners have attachments for 35mm stock and only the really expensive ones can scan 120mm. You can send your film off to be fingered by proffesionals, but thats expensive and time consuming. You’re also relying on royal mail, which is never a good plan.
Ghetto Scanner MK1
As negative film is transparent, you need to have some backlight before you really see the detail. You can stick your negatives to the window and let the sun do all the work, but your prone to funny colours & patterns reflecting off whatever is outside
However frosted glass provides a even diffuse light, which averages out the colours reflected from outside. Nine times out of ten frosted glass produces a nice even white-ish light. Perfect for illuminating film.
Its not very elegant, and there isn’t much space. but its better than nothing.
and here are some results:
