Another rainy Friday

Surprise Surprise. Son pleuvoir! Still, a little water never hurt anyone, did it??? Shot in Asda’s car park in Stockport. F5.6 @ 1/13sec using the Sigma 10-20mm F5.6 at its widest.

This second one was shot facing the M60 which is why you can see the blurred truck in the background. Shot using the 18-200mm VR at F22 & 1/20 sec so I could get the blur.

Quite a challenge to find anything inspiring in this weather, but I think the top one does it for me. I like the sense of tension the black and white conversion adds.

Off topic: Another utility I happened across yesterday was a little program called Digsby. It allows me to combine my MSN accounts, gmail, Facebook and Twitter all into one pretty smart looking application. Previously I had to use a hack for Live Messenger in order to have 2 separate instances running which I was never really all that keen on. This new find just rocks and is sooooo easy to use.

Also Kodak’s T-Max 400 has been voted as the Best Film in Europe 2008 by the Technical Image Press Association. The award recognises the fast ISO, sharpness and fine grain offered to photographers. Read more here

That’s it for the week now. Have a good weekend all.
