You know when you take a picture of something and you’re convinced it’ll look great?

And then in the end you have a look and you’re presented with something far away from what you had imagined?

Well this was one of those occasions. Disappointed I put the picture away and thought “ah well, maybe next time”. Until Julia said “hey, that’s clever – X marks the spot”.

I hadn’t even seen that – and started liking it again. This is a burnt out house just off Gunnersbury Station, an old car retailer I believe.

It was a really late night in MCR, and both Richard and Susie had stayed behind for a mid-week Football League Show. All went well, and we were just about to wrap up the party when I remembered I had my camera with me. Why not take a picture – I won’t get many more opportunities to snap away at my colleagues before I leave the country for good.

Maybe my camera knew we were all tired, none of the red eyes and dark rings came out – and instead a drawing-like artwork was created (mainly thanks to motion blur and a 5 second exposure).

I’m loving it!

After I took the shot of the guardsman, I looked across the street to find this stunning bit of British architecture. The light was nice so I snapped away.

Only later when we crossed the river Thames on Westminster Bridge did I take a look at my last two pictures – and both Andy and I were blown away by the resolution and sharpness this puppy can produce under the right circumstances.

Thanks SX70 – the more I shoot you, the more I’m falling in love with you 😉

Julia knitted these little Ninja Dudes a few months ago, and since then they’ve become the invisible little helpers around the house. Be it web hosting, code hacking, or watching TV – the Ninjas manage to get involved somehow. A bit like Woody…

Here they are chilling out on the beach. Lingonberry on the left, Blackberry on the right.

Nick loves football, especially watching it 12 hours a day without leaving a 4 square foot room with no windows. Wouldn’t everybody?

This was the first ever picture I took on the Black Frame material. We had meticulously setup the shot, the light looked goo, but when I pressed the shutter I realised the cartridge was emtpy. So technically this is Take 2 😉

I wasn’t sure if there was film in my Golden SX 70 or not, so I was debating wether to put one in and was fiddling with it while sitting on the bog – as you do.

And what do you know – there WAS film in there, and this is exactly what it looks like when the door isn’t closed, around 10 in the morning.

Note to self: must not share stories like this on my Blog… what will people think or me?

Here’s a comparison between the PX 600 material and the PX 680 material.

When we passed this guard on Whitehall a few German students were debating wether it was OK to take a picture of him or not.

Trouble is, even if you walk up and ask him, he’s not allowed to give you an answer. But hey, it was either be dressed up and be muttered at by trouists or go to Afghanistan I gues…
