Nice day to photograph Bath

Bath Mini World

I've been making Mini Worlds since 2006 using an SLR with tripod and spending about 15 minutes with a £700 copy of Photoshop.

I was surprised to find my £250 unlocked Google Nexus 4 phone has the effect built in and does it in seconds here's a sample taken yesterday at Alexandra Park.

Come on Mr Apple the rest are catching up, time to start innovating again!

New dress for Lottie

Nicky took Lottie to have her nails done professionally for the first time, looks like Lottie conned a new dress as well.

Then and Now.

Just found  my first mobile phone from 1987 a Motorola 8800x compared with my Google Nexus 4, looks about the same size till you turn it sideways and find the battery was 2ozs heavier than the whole Nexus.

It had a ten number memory and very short battery life, everything was on contract so when it was updated they let me keep it.

Fox Talbot's Birthday

A group of photographers meet at Lacock tonight to celebrate the work of the great William Henry Fox Talbot. Museum Curator Roger Watson talked about his new soon to be published book "Capturing the light”  which is 36% off for pre-order at Amazon.

M Shed Bristol

We visited the M shed this week and were very impressed, excellent exhibition, well presented and very entertaining,  it would be great if Bath had a similar free museum.

 

All aspects of Bristol life and industry in one 

place from buses to aero engines.

The only paid for part is the chocolate exhibition 

that's on till the 6th of May

Domestic Goddess?

Wendy worked today so I knocked up Cauliflower cheese and Bread and butter pudding for her return.

So as not to disappoint here's one of my snaps of Nigella last time we met.
