It Now Costs a Pound to Spend a Penny!
Just a quick update today, as I’ve had a few computer problems and time is tight… Yesterday we were picked up from the hotel in two enormous “superjeeps”, which started life as Nissan Patrols but now stand about 10ft tall, … Continue reading
Reykjavik “Culture Night” – The Other Side of the Coin :)
And here’s some more of the flower of Iceland’s youth! Judging by the outfits Reykjavik has at least two pole dancing clubs in competition with one another. I would say it keeps them off the streets, but of course yesterday … Continue reading
Reykjavik “Culture Night” – One Side of the Coin
I wanted to show the breadth of the “Culture Night”, and was torn between these three cute Icelandic maidens singing their very tuneful folk songs, and the pole dancing. I suspect in the interests of journalistic integrity I have to … Continue reading
Updates from Iceland…
From the Ministry of Odd Coincidences: I’ve been on four organised photography tours, and I’ve now been in the right place to witness marathons or “fun runs” on three of them. The latest was the annual Reykjavik Marathon. I wonder … Continue reading

Image Stabilisation – Know Your Limits?
I’ve blogged previously on the other merits of Canon’s wonderful EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens, but not really its image stabilisation characteristics. This shot from Cuba shows how good the lens is in that respect. The above is an … Continue reading
Low Cost Geotagging Using Bibble
I decided a while ago that it would be useful to “geotag” my photographs, i.e. to automatically record the location from which each is taken and add that to each images’s metadata. As my next photographic trip is to Iceland … Continue reading
Back to Cuba!
Not literally, unfortunately, but I’m finally getting on top of my shots from last November’s trip, and I thought I’d share some of them with you. Here’s one I rather liked of a green car under dappled light on the … Continue reading
Ask A P’liceman
I think it was Will Hay who popularised the notion of added value timekeeping and navigational services from the forces of law and order. This doesn’t always work. On Barbados recently, we were trying without much success to find Fisher … Continue reading
