Great new blog: thepeopleonthetube
I found a great new blog today: thepeopleonthetube.wordpress.com. It highlights one of the things I miss about working/travelling/living in London – the diversity of people. From amazing clothes to knelling face down on the seats, you’ve got to love the people of London. I always say it’s impossible to really stand out in London, as this photo shows…

Catching coincidence with a camera. And being honest about it.
www.designzzz.com has just put together a nice collection of 20 photos which they’ve titled “Photos Taken at the Right Time From the Right Angle” (or in some cases very carefully constructed). The collection caught my eye because it features a picture I’ve seen on the web a few times before taken by Meg Pickard which…

We live in financial times – Obama and the FT
On a massive billboard at Victoria Station there is an advertisement for the Financial Times. It features an excellent photograph of a huge crowd with a little figure in the corner speaking to them with the title “Who does the man everyone listens to, listen to?” Apparently the answer is the Financial Times. Either way,…

This made me laugh. Found by Swiss Miss, Neatorama and Chris Glass. August 7, 2009 My husband and I were exploring Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park, Canada, when we stopped for a timed picture of the two of us. We had our camera set up on some rocks and were getting ready to take…

Create a minature world with the tilt-shift maker
I like the effect that a tilt-shift lens gives – turning a bustling city into a model railway set. The effect is created using a special lens which gives a very shallow depth of field on objects far away. It’s better explained in this article: What is tilt-shift photography?. The lenses aren’t cheap (theonlinephotographer.typepad.com) but…

Long lost story of unbelievable bulk film loader.
I read a story in September that was quite unbelievable. Mike Mitchell, who writes for the Online Photographer was sent a package from China by a fan of his. But the details involved of how, why, and what are quite remarkable. It gives you a hope for the little things in life, and help you…
