I’ve been having fun with my new Panasonic GH2. A very nice toy.
All this and it shoots 1080p too 🙂

The laugh and frolic
Digging through old photos, I found this one from a visit to the Great Wall of China in 2007:

Diagonals and wiggles
A favourite shot from our recent trip to the Yorkshire Dales.
A Rich Mount
Richmond is a lovely town in Yorkshire, with the remains of a very fine medieval castle. I loved the colour of the stone at the base of the keep…
Rigging
A couple of weeks ago, I had fun with friends on this giant climbing frame in Bavaria. It was a work trip, but we had some time off too. It was either this or Powerpoint slides…
Great fun. You can find plenty more photos of the Hochseilgarten, including my co-climbers, Steve Hales and Ray Gordon, here.
Hexagon
I liked the angles in this photo of my friend Ray Gordon.
When you can run as fast as this…
…who needs to touch the ground?
Life in death
A tree on the Wimpole Hall estate.
I had a good walk around there with the dog today. More info on Wagipedia.
Light painting – Making Future Magic
About six years ago I did some brief experiments with ‘light painting’: photography using long exposures where you move the light sources around while the shutter’s open:

My friend Karen has done this on a rather larger scale, for example by running around bits of Thetford Forest in the middle of the night carrying big lights:
But she’s also just pointed me at a lovely example of what you can do by bringing this up to date and using iPads as the light source. Making Future Magic is a creation of the Dentsu London agency, and is beautifully done. Worth clicking the full-screen button.

Period Piece
I often bemoan the rather low quality (by today’s standards) of the camera on my iPhone 3GS, but I still occasionally get some interesting shots with it.
The post-processing was done on the iPhone using the rather nice Camera+ app.
Progressing parallelograms
Pretty abstract for me, eh?
There’s an app called ‘Camera for iPad’ which allows your iPhone to be used as a remote camera for an iPad, which doesn’t have a camera of its own. Quite fun. It shows a ‘viewfinder’ on the iPad, so of course I pointed the camera at that.
So this is a view, taken on an iPhone, of a view on an iPad of what an iPhone is seeing when the iPhone camera is pointed at the iPad. The kitchen ceiling light is reflected in the iPad screen.
