Today I've been mostly exploring radiators...

Further to photographing CCTV cameras...

I got a request from my client almost as soon as he'd received the original set of CCTV images, could I superimpose a clock face over one of the images. 

This morning I was out nice and early...

... to get some images of CCTV cameras, it's for an article in a security industry magazine. So armed with my trusty Canon and the 70-200mm lens I ventured forth into the chill of a late October day.

Do I care about the new Canon 1D X...

... no not really. I'm more concerned with getting the next job in, shot and off to the client. New kit can wait till we see if the great world consumer lead economy will keep going or falter and die. 

You might be able to tell I got out of bed the wrong side this morning. I'm sure it will be a great piece of kit, but it doesn't tick all the boxes I had for my next dream camera, I'll see what the 5DMkIII brings to the table in 6-8 months time...

Apple Macs I've owned...

Having been delving into the innards of my MacPro a great deal recently I was pleasantly surprised to find some images of some of my previous Macs in an old folder in my archive. Starting with a Beige G3, not my first Mac, that was an iMac Blueberry 450 Mhz, but I can't find any photos of that, and I'm not prepared to go up into the attic to find and take a snap of it.

Kodak, is the writing on the wall...

... I've read a lot of reports this weekend about the state of the film giant, none of it makes good reading. The vultures already seem to be circling, waiting to feast on the estimate $2 billion worth of digital related patents that the yellow film box company has tucked away. Only the threat of being dragged through the courts by Kodaks creditors seems to be stopping a feeding frenzy.
