Photography - The Dog's Piggy

The Dog loves this piggy and it also benefits me because instead of a horrid high pitched squeak it produces a oink noise. Here are a few very quick images of the piggy. Just click on the thumbnail.

Black Friars underground station is now closed until late 2011. When it opens it should look completely different so here are some rather bad and quickly shot (the TfL staff weren't looking to happy) photos of how the station looks in 2009. Just click on the Thumbnail to see the album.

Photography - Imitation Gorilla Pod

Written by Richard Smith
Wednesday, 25 February 2009
I was at the Focus on Imaging trade show last Sunday. I had to keep purchases to a minimum, both in quantity and in money. One of the few cheap things I bought was an Imitation Gorilla Pod. Very similar to the Gorilla Pod Zoom but it only cost me £20. I bought it in Purple so if it didn't support the weight of my stuff I'd just give it my daughter. I found out today that to my suprise it does support the weight of not only my D700 body but a 70-200mm F/2.8 lens and my wireless remote.

Photography - Clearing off the Images from the Nikon D40

Written by Richard Smith
Wednesday, 25 February 2009
Firstly my apologies, the site is getting behind with updates again. Maybe I need to outsource the running of the site? I suppose it won't be so personal then. Might be more interesting though Anyway being very ill again today and being one of these people who find it difficult to do nothing I copied the contents from my Nikon D40's memory card and uploaded it to my gallery. I pretty much take my D40 everywhere so the images can get pretty random. Click on the thumbnails to open the galleries. Above is a picture of the deadly Exhaust bracket on the Volvo S60R. If this gets hit the exhaust gets pushed into the drive shaft causing lots of damage. It is advised to remove this bracket.
