Roger Lean- Dog Cam 1.0
A very rough first go at an idea I'd had - to attach a camera to my dog and see what a dogs eye view of the world is like. I used the…
Majestic morning and treeWithout sounding like some old hippy, I had a beautiful experience of nature this morning. I walked up the upper reaches of the 'new' Nidderdale Greenway or the…
- Cracking morning
Embedded video Not quite cracking flags temperature yet, but a beautiful blue sky drive into work this morning across The Yorkshire Dales. As the schools are off, the roads were quiet and I got to enjoy the scenery.The…
Photograph tasticThis photo of us being photographed was taken by Henry (who's up north to take part in a ultra marathon race tomorrow). The local news paper heard about our recent birth experience and as a result, we've been…
Standing on the shoulders of giantsI've cited a fella called Lomokev a couple of times recently and how I like his work. I asked myself what I liked about his work, and came up with some stuff that can't be replicated or emulated - like his natural gift,…
LOMO LC-A test rollWho says you have to wait ages to see the results from shooting film? Got camera at 18:00 yesterday and by 17:30 today, I was looking at photos from a test roll I shot last night and this morning. I wanted to check that…
Choose your own adventure blogExperimental blog post.. I got a new hat today. I got a new camera today. I watched a video featuring a cricketing hero today. I watched a video featuring a photography hero today. Both of them surprised me for the same…
S C High & Tide Camera 'Bussiness' WatchThe typo on the box is to distract you from the tiny camera hole in the number 6 on the face. I used to be kind of a 'big deal' in the watchcam world. I used to run the worlds leading forum on watchcams (specifically…
Further adventures in fisheyeA lomography fisheye is a marvellous bit of kit. It's got a 170 degree super wide angle lens. I'd loaded it with an out of date roll of German film called Paradises 200, stuck a ringflash on the front with 4 different…
Top 10 niche groups on FlickrAs far as social networking goes, flickr is undoubtedly, my all time fave. It's defiantly the network I've spent the most time on. Like so many other flickreenos, photography is something I've been 'into', boder-line…
Further adventures in cross processingThese photos are not edited - they are 'straight out of the camera'. I'd used slide film - Fujichrome Provia 100f and asked a lab to process it through standard C41 process chemicals. The obliged. The results are this…
100 StrangersI stumbled across a fascinating sounding project today, so I though I'd give it a go. It's called 100 strangers . Participants are to approach 100 people and ask if they can take their photo. If they say yes, They're to…
100 AcquaintancesIn my last blog post, I described a project called 100 strangers, and how I've embarked on the quest to get photos of 100 strangers. I'm toying with the idea of the same kind of thing, but for 100 acquaintances. Perhaps…
Grandad Skelton's cameraI've just been given my grandad's old camera. It's a Voigtländer Vitoret with all the trimmings. A beautiful old thing. Just loaded it up with some ILFORD FP4 black and white film. My grandad apparently saved up for a…
