Olympus OM-1For Christmas, my Dad very kindly gave me a brand new second hand Olympus OM-1. I've been wanting one for a while, it's the camera that a lot of people learn to shoot properly on, something that I have been wanting to do and now can. Stoopidly (but typically), I ... Kew Gardens InfraredA few Infrareds from our trip to Kew Gardens last week. Another time where having a nice sunny day would have been nice...
Len!
Today, I met one of the world's few remaining legends. Yes, today, I met Len Goodman! For those that, for some inexplicable reason, don't know who he is, I will quote from the blurb on his wonderful bible-for-the-21st-Century, Better Late Than Never:

Autumn at SOASThough it's been stereotypically grey and wet English weather all this week, for a week or there was some nice autumnal weather. In one Japanese lesson, my Japanese teacher was talking about leaves changing, and asked the class whether the leaves went yellow or red on trees in England. Considering ... Canonet
Yesterday, I picked up a brand new secondhand Canonet from Mac's Cameras. While it's not the ubiquitous QL17 (which I still want to pick up), it is a nice little introduction into Rangefinders. I think that when taking the first shots, I probably shouldn't have used a film that was ...

In the years before World War Two, Japanese films were exported on a very limited scale, mainly to the countries of the ... Flickr Favourites - September
After hardly being on the internet for a week or two by September, I finally got round to getting a desk and then setting up with computer and three fuctioning HDs. Found quite a few more new photographers on Flickr that I really like recently, and among this month's shots ...
