London Photowalk

I went on a photowalk along London's Southbank on Saturday 18th. It was organised by Cameralabs Gordon Laing and also Chris Chabot. Great day spent with a really nice crowd of people. Check out some of the shots here 
Here's a couple more of mine.

As I said in the post the other day I was mainly looking at the long exposure "Livetime" function to see if it would give me greater flexibility and creative inspiration. Did it do that? Well....not really. My shots are typically 2 to 5 seconds or so. The updates on the screen can only happen at half second intervals. It felt a bit like playing an old video game where the screen refresh rate was really slow so you make adjustments and the when you see the result of those adjustments you've crashed into a wall and exploded into a huge fireball. Granted me moving the camera a bit isn't quite as dramatic but it didn't give me the feeling I wanted. I also found that I was tempted t...
