Paint- Double X, X-Pro
I got a film back from the lab today, which included the above image. The image is straight out of the camera - no digital trickery. I achieved it by using two techniques - double exposure and cross processing. I shot…
- Cimenagraphs
I've been playing with a new (to me) photo technology called Cinemagraph. There's an native app on the phone I'm running at the moment - a Nokia Lumia 920 with Windows8 - called Cinemagraph. It's great fun. Here's a…
- Pretty colours
I was taken aback by this sight this morning. A Bright pink tree with a rich blue backdrop of a sky. I stopped for a minute and soaked it in. Undoubtedly the best part of the day today (07:00 ish - dog walk round The…
Google Glass - the future?Although not due for public release until 2014, the first few 'Explorer' and 'Reviewer Units' are now out in the wild. The latest google buzz has begun - and somehow, I think this one will fare better than Google Buzz .…
Royal Hall HarrogateI like the original name for Harrogate's Royal Hall : Kursaal. It means 'Cure Hall' in German and was a popular format for public entertainment venues of the sort, in Victorian times - particularly in Spa towns. This…
- Bilton Gala
For over 30 years, a true community event called Bilton Gala has taken place on May Day Bank Holiday Monday, in the heart of one of the oldest and biggest suburbs of Harrogate called (you guessed it) Bilton. If this…
Best man and BeltaneTwo blog worthy things happened today. The first of which; I've been asked to be a best man to an absolute top guy - Henry Morris. The same Henry Morris who runs ultra marathons (for instance, the Hardmoor 113 mile race…

- Mixed Musical Arts
A venue who's day job is a cage MMA fighting arena was taken over by Nokia UK and La Blogothèque last night to host "Lumia Live". The second leg of a tour which marries interesting music with utterly original venues.…
Me circa 1980A couple of weeks ago, I found an old camera : A Kodak Instamatic - with a now defunct 126 film cassette, still inside. I decided to risk wasting a few quid to see if there was anything on it by sending it off to be…
- Conor. Mountain. France.
Here's the latest shot to grace the walls of the DragonDrop Adventure Club . It's in The French Alps - surprisingly, (with approaching 100 shirt shots from around the world) France has never been featured before.…
- Lumia Live Sessions
Out of the blue the other day, I received an invite from Nokia. From what I can make out, Lumia Live Sessions, presented by Nokia is part showcase of a couple of interesting looking bands (more on those in a bit), part…
- 9 hours straight at 6 weeks
A picture of our baby after an epic sleep yesterday. Morning! Our little owl slept through for 9 hours last night. The night before she slept around 6 hours, then had a quick feed and slept some more - the night before…
- Intense logistics, a run off dog and a me pic
Yesterday was funny. I "wrote" my daily blog (thus ensuring continuity of my DD365 project) using a method I'd has in mind as a back up reserve idea - see, it dawned on me that where I was going, the internet may not be…
