Month: December 2013

  • A Norfolk Sunset

    Posted mainly because the last two posts were a bit moany!

  • Down The Line

    Since the BBC moved large parts of their new output – notably Five Live and BBC Breakfast – up to Salford, one inevitability is an increased number of “down the lines” from London. It’s almost inevitable in the case of politicians, but other experts or guests, who cannot make it up to Salford the night…

  • Radio Design – A Moan

    I spent Christmas with my family – as many other folk do. But the room I was staying in didn’t have a radio! Now this is a calamitous state of affairs in my book. There wasn’t a spare kicking around. And while I carry a portable, it doesn’t have a speaker. No problem – I…

  • The Cathedral of the Marshes

    Blythburgh Church – the Cathedral of the Marshes – overlooking the River Blyth, near Southwold. I think this is my favourite shot from the series of photos I made recently in Suffolk.

  • Radio Times – 26 December 2013

    The worst sitcom on British television somehow managed to achieve the unthinkable yesterday, becoming the most watched programme of Christmas Day. We can but hope that once PVR and on demand is added in, something else knocks it off the top. Anything! If you’re the sort of person who watches Mrs Brown’s Boys, then at…

  • Kite Aerial Photography #3 – Christmas Success

    What better day than Christmas Day to have a third attempt at some kite aerial photography? My first couple of attempts were disappointing to say the least. I’ve found it tricky to find both a location and enough wind to get the kite up supporting the camera, but not too much wind to cause me…

  • International Space Station

    The International Space Station passing over the UK on the evening of Christmas Day.

  • Radio Times – Christmas Day 2013

    Here’s my sort-of-annual guide to what’s on TV and radio on Christmas Day – as seen through the pages of my annotated Radio Times (as very slightly featured in #6 on this Buzzfeed list). Click on the pictures below to go fullscreen. Flickr has changed the way they do things recently, and that’ll take you…

  • Video Snippet

    While a massive storm rolls across the country, I spent the day editing video. Here’s another snippet of something that’s coming soon. Have you ever seen a murmation of starlings? Well here’s what happens when they gather on a water tower. Starlings on Water Tower near Blythburgh from Adam Bowie on Vimeo.

  • A Digital Radio Future

    This morning, I was in the BBC Radio Theatre at Broadcasting House along with several hundred colleagues who work for broadcasters, regulators, hardware manufacturers, car manufacturers and assorted others to hear Ed Vaizey, Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries, stand up and talk about the future of digital radio in this country. The event…

  • Suffolk

    I recently spent a few days in Suffolk. My camera was never far away. This is an Exposure gallery of some my photos. Just playing around with the new photo publishing system. I think it takes work to get it right. And here’s a taster of the video I shot while I was there. Slow…
