Anyone fancy a Leica?
If, like me, Santa didn’t bring you an M9, and you wish he had, here’s your chance

With a bit of time to kill, and with it being nearly the year’s end, I thought I’d go through my portfolio, and see which images have been most popular; I’ve now rearranged the first 20 images in order of ‘most favourited’.
It’s certainly a representative selection of what I do photographically – some landscape, some astronomy, some I-don’t-know-what-you’d-call-it; using cameras from a Hasse…
Can't upload any more work
I have been fairly inactive for a while, but recently tried to upload a couple of images, without success. I have managed to upload a small image (screen res, about 200kB), but can’t get full sized images to upload, either for art or for t-shirts. I see I’m not the only member with this problem just now, but that doesn’t ease the frustration. Until someone from RB support sees fit to respond to…
DIY film manufacture
Have a look at this, all you cyanotypers, platinum printers and liquid emulsioners. I’m lost in admiration, and really want to see it in action – and to sample the product (maybe even developing it in coffee).
Paper negative processing for pinhole (& other) photography
I have been dabbling infrequently with paper negatives in my mailing tube pinhole camera (the one on the right):
but have been getting some variable and disappointing results that I’ve found hard to diagnose. I’ve been using Fotospeed BW paper and Kodak HC110 developer, and after getting results with various problems including poor contrast an…

Gigapixel Milky Way mosaic
Every now and then I come across an image that is so breathtaking in its subject or execution, it just makes me gasp – and I’ve seen and worked with quite a few.Today’s APOD is one such: the full image is composed of 1200 individual images and 200 hours total exposure time, with final image size 24000×14000 pixels. See today’s APOD and judge for yoursel…
New portfolio
Those of you who are watching me (& who don’t already know about it) might be interested in a portfolio I have under another username: Wordigrams. This is a collection of works – mainly t-shirts so far – created with Wordle. As they are substantially different from my normal photographic output, I decided to separate them.
Here’s the latest:

That squirrel gets everywhere...
So, I was just looking at editing an image, and up pops that squirrel:
