There have been some rad photos recently. I realised I've not actually acknowledged any of them but there was definite "oooh" ing going on from my side of the monitor with a bit of jealousy thrown in too. Since getting a Kindle I have spent too much of my time looking down instead of up and around me. I've not reached for my camera in too long.
I'm interested in seeing more stuff from platypus. I like the sense of humour in your shots. Obviously I want to see more of everyone's stuff but I lol'd at the chandelier shot.

I did that one too! The people are nice over there but the benches are a bit whack (think tall slippery tables and bench hooks). I thought it was really basic at first but I was surprised how much I fucked the basics up. So probably a good thing really. It's very much a hobby course but good enough to get you interested and go "I am rather enjoying this cutting wood lark. I want to carry it on" by the end of it. Bug caught.
I'm doing one at London Met (The Cass). Managed to get a few Fridays off work with come condensed hours thankfully!

I'm after a manual 50mm 1.4/1.8 for Nikon if anybody has anything, want to shoot some more 35mm.
This plus an adapter? Linky.

I have no experience of using any scanner for film but my two pence nonetheless...
Flatbeds are supposed to be fiddly/a pain in the arse. If you were shooting rolls and rolls of film every week or had a massive backlog to deal with then, unless you really hate yourself, I wouldn't do it. But you're just starting out. You'll also only be shooting black and white so you'll be honing your workflow for a small range of films instead of experimenting with everything the film world has to offer. Presumably so anyway. In any case, I'd read more reviews to make sure. If I had the money now I'd buy it. But I have other things I need to spend money on right now. I also need to shoot more film. Haha.

A score more than you wanted to pay and flatbed but food for thought perhaps?

What happened to the rest of the tree? :)
Are you off sailing the seas?
Seems very quiet in here! Anybody got any new tools for Christmas?! I'm leaving the country at the weekend, and have finished work already, so I'm making the most of having the time off, and being at home, with the lathe. Made this for my Grandmother's Birthday. It's about 11" across, and the wood comes from an Oak tree, which fell across our road, when we had the really heavy snow a couple of years ago.
