Westminster reflections 1

I love my Canon S90 compact camera. I don't care how good the Nikon D700 was in low light, or how many megapixies the 5Dmk2 has, because the little and unassuming S90 is by far and away the best digital camera ever produced. This is for the same reason that the Rollei 35 is my favourite 35mm film camera.


I've noticed some of my recent flickr uploads have been a bit pants. I don't know why, but I think some of my creative spirit has been sapped in recent months. I'm looking to re-engage it and I felt that the Weston Super Mare shoot was pretty acceptable.

This is hyde park. I absolutely love catching sunsets and silhouettes.

Going a bit back in time, to our easter-ish trip to Barcelona... I took the opportunity to try to capture the amazing shapes and colours of some of Barcelona's great architecture.

Even the not-so-great is still very interesting!

PIng Pong. erm... Table Tennis!

At work, doing some high-speed photographic tests of table tennis serves. I was playing around with my camera and snapping a few things... I love the moment here.

My final submission from my Weston Super Mare trip. Though I intended to primarily use the Canon 5Dmk2 for video, I have found it an excellent still camera (as one would expect). For me though, it's a little too heavy for photographic work alone.

Another snap from my recent trip around Weston Super Mare... a lovely day!

Recently I was asked to photograph an event in Weston Super Mare, but I also took the opportunity to do some general snap-taking through the town. The weather was glorious and the skies were a beautiful, rich blue.

This is actually the hub and spokes from a pleasure-wheel.
