Released 2008 In March 2010, I decided to make the leap to a digital SLR, having outgrown my Fuji S9600 bridge camera. I have a decent selection of lenses now, so the 450D is extremely versatile. See all photos taken with the 450D, or search by lens. At a glance Lens Canon EF & EF-SContinue reading “Canon EOS 450D”

How many megapixels do you get from film?
Well that’s a question. There’s no easy answer, but I’ll discuss it a little here. If you just want the figures, scroll down to the table! The number of film “pixels” (grains) does not equal to the resolution of the film – unlike pixels on a digital sensor. For now let’s ignore this fact andContinue reading “How many megapixels do you get from film?”
Jaywalking
Jaywalking, or as it is more concisely known in the UK, crossing at the red man, really winds me up. So I decided to capture it for this week’s Photo Challenge – things that make you angry. Working on a university campus, it wasn’t hard to find dozens of students walking in front of carsContinue reading “Jaywalking”
Evening in Oldbury Court
The other evening I went to Oldbury Court to catch some of the golden sunrays. I used an old lens with a primitive lens coating, so there was plenty of lens flare from the low sun. In the viewfinder it was all sorts of magical colours, but you only get to see the black &Continue reading “Evening in Oldbury Court”
King Henry VIII relay on film
You may have seen my recent photos of the King Henry VIII Relay. Those are the ones I took on my digital camera, but I also took a 35mm film SLR, since one camera just isn’t enough for me 😀 These are my two favourites from the film.
More of Lou Lou
I rarely shoot film indoors, but since I had a roll of fast film in the camera this week I was able to shoot a few pictures of Lou Lou with daylight from the window and some artificial light. These are my favourites. If you’ve seen Lou Lou before, you’ll know she’s mainly creamy whiteContinue reading “More of Lou Lou”
Some photographic statistics
This week, I decided to have a look at some statistics about photos I’ve taken with my Canon 450D. Using a little Perl magic, I extracted the EXIF data from almost 7,000 photos that I’ve taken since purchasing the camera 10 months ago. The first graph shows the different focal lengths used in the photographs.Continue reading “Some photographic statistics”
Meet Lou Lou
I’d like to introduce you to Lou Lou, our new cat. She’s a rescue cat from the Bristol branch of the Cats Protection League – 4 years old and very playful. We’ve already put one or two photos from our phones on Facebook but these are the first proper photos. I’m sure there will beContinue reading “Meet Lou Lou”
Nighttime traffic
This shot was taken in the evening rush hour near Cabot Circus, in Bristol.
Spots
For some time, I’ve been wanting to take a photo of this giant mural on the side of the Bristol uni chemistry lab. The Spots v Stripes Photo Challenge presented the ideal opportunity.
