Funny how small the world suddenly seems when you find you share pictures of the very same places with fellow asylumnites... I can't really expand on the subject much, as I've been preparing, installing, and baby-sitting all the IT kit at a huge banking conference for the past few days. I clocked up seventeen hours yesterday, and even had to take a break to run down to the QE2 centre to install a PC... only to discover that my tactless and unappreciative employer had added insult to an earlier injury by dumping me off with the wrong machine, leaving me to look like a complete idiot in front of our client. He even switched his phone off when I tried to call him about it. I really wish my job paid overtime... :( I've been practicing with a camera I've been given on extended loan. As she reads these forums from time-to-time, I'd like to thank the wonderful young woman who gave up her CyberShot to my trivial pursuit. Thanks, Bunny! :D It'll be a while before I get anywhere near exploring the camera's full potential - it's incredibly sophisticated for such a small lump of technology. I've kept the camera set to 5MP rather than the full 7.2; I can't imagine that I'll require the full resolution right now, and I've resized all the photos to XGA anyway. I took more care with the resampling this time, so the file size is still pretty high, but I've avoided the blatant banding that spoiled a few of my Skyscape shots. The morning's journey yesterday was pretty bad, traffic-wise, so I just kept hanging out of the window with my borrowed camera. Included are one or two photos of the traffic - exciting, huh? As the Blackwall Tunnel approach was so bad, we took the Woolwich Ferry, so I managed to take a snap or two across the water, of the Thames Barrier, The Millenium Dome, Canary Wharf (more accurately, The Isle of Dogs), and of the [i]other[/i] ferry: [URL=http://img511.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad01tz5.jpg][IMG]http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/8439/ontheroad01tz5.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img267.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad22nz6.jpg][IMG]http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/418/ontheroad22nz6.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img504.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad21tj4.jpg][IMG]http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/1949/ontheroad21tj4.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img126.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad20vt2.jpg][IMG]http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/7071/ontheroad20vt2.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img518.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad19ju4.jpg][IMG]http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/1733/ontheroad19ju4.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img511.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad18mx3.jpg][IMG]http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/2543/ontheroad18mx3.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img78.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad17yp6.jpg][IMG]http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/3673/ontheroad17yp6.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img507.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad16zi2.jpg][IMG]http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/785/ontheroad16zi2.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img413.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad15jj3.jpg][IMG]http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/5441/ontheroad15jj3.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img511.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad14iu1.jpg][IMG]http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/7433/ontheroad14iu1.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img518.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad13xu1.jpg][IMG]http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/3421/ontheroad13xu1.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img507.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad11ax9.jpg][IMG]http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/1976/ontheroad11ax9.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img408.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad10ib2.jpg][IMG]http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/9421/ontheroad10ib2.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img503.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad09wb3.jpg][IMG]http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/1854/ontheroad09wb3.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img177.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad08ij5.jpg][IMG]http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/4502/ontheroad08ij5.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img505.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad07kx3.jpg][IMG]http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/559/ontheroad07kx3.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img376.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad06jr0.jpg][IMG]http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/2195/ontheroad06jr0.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img503.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad05pm1.jpg][IMG]http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/4161/ontheroad05pm1.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img78.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad12ab4.jpg][IMG]http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/1218/ontheroad12ab4.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img459.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad04mm4.jpg][IMG]http://img459.imageshack.us/img459/7893/ontheroad04mm4.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img161.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad03fy4.jpg][IMG]http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/1471/ontheroad03fy4.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img443.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad02cz9.jpg][IMG]http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/8497/ontheroad02cz9.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img443.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad02cb7.jpg][IMG]http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/9522/ontheroad02cb7.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img519.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ontheroad00px6.jpg][IMG]http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/8859/ontheroad00px6.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I couldn't help noticing that Cleopatra's Needle is still being held together with cargo straps. I don't remember a time when this wasn't the case. I'm rather pleased with the image of the Sphynx there, especially as it was taken at a fair passing speed. It seems that the Silver Surfer has been getting around quite a bit. Besides bursting out of a billboard on the way past Canary Wharf (a larger-than-life model apparently flying through the poster), he was later spotted flying through the London Eye (a far-larger-than-life cut-out)... The camera has ISO1600(!) and Macro settings (among a multitude of others), so I'm being introduced to something a lot more interesting than my little 2MP phone-cam has to offer. It has greatly increased my desire for a digital camera of my own. I think I might have to bruise my credit card a bit... Edit: A little commentary added, and one extra photo.
