Space, The World, Fashion and Portraits
I spent Saturday catching up on a number of exhibitions that I’ve been meaning to see, but which for various reasons, I’d not gotten around to. And there’s the small matter that some of them are closing quite soon. Sebastião Salgado’s Genesis is the result of a massive multi-year undertaking of the Brazilian photographer most…

Muvi X-Lapse Timelapse Experiements
Yesterday I got hold of a cheap Muvi X-Lapse. It’s basically a device that you can mount on a tripod, and then on top of it you can either place a small(ish) camera or a mobile phone. Then with some kind of intervalmeter software either on your camera or your phone, you can shoot rotating…

Solargraphy

Pinhole Photography

Moscow
I’ve just spent a few days in Moscow giving a talk to the Russian Academy of Radio at their annual get together. Clearly, if I was going all the way to Moscow, I was going to be sure to find a bit of spare time to get out and take some photos, and the good…

Orford Ness
Orford Ness is not the easiest place to get to – particularly without a car. For me it was three trains, a ten mile cycle ride and a ferry crossing. But it’s well worth it for the fantastic nature reserve and some essential military history surrounding the development of RADAR and the atomic bomb. A…

Olympics Day 3 – Swimming, The Orbit and Fencing
[Note: This is a first draft. I’ll drop in some photos when I get a chance to process them] Today was a swimming day, and I had a 10am session. Having decided that security was very swift I didn’t get in too early today, but I still ended up with an hour to kill before…
