Old Glass

So, it's 2008. Looks like spring might happen sometime soon.

I seem to be keeping up with my 1 upload a day to flickr, and have only had to put pictures up from the back catalogue twice. Amazing! And 20 days in! Many of the pics have been sent direct from my phone, and a few (many) are not that exciting to look at, but it's a record of something. I'll figure out what in December.

I've ordered a handheld GPS device, and am looking forward to some geotagging. And maybe some other things over on the other side of my life.

Not all the pictures have been taken on the iPhone. The one above is my trusty D50, but instead of the large, heavy (and wonderful) 17-200mm I usually lug around, I used my old 50mm 1.8 manual lens that dates back to the early eighties. Having to guess the exposure, but that's rather fun. Unfortunately every day I want to go out with it has been rather miserable and grey, so all I have to show for the experiment so far is a picture of daffodil buds taken at home. Quite a nice quality to it, I think. More to come when the sun comes out.

edit: 28 Jan - Hubris update

Well naturally I failed to upload an image the day after making the above post. And on another day that week too. The shame.
