This was one of my early shots when I was playing around with my camera and testing out the zoom. I think i was on the other side of the (large) room.

Extreme Cold

Liquid Helium return line on Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (25-01-07)
Camera: Sony Ericsson P990i SmartPhone

This was my first attempt to properly use the camera in my new phone. Using the macro function here to get a good close up view of the frost formations on the excessively cold piping. This frost formed within a minute of liquid helium (-196ºC) flowing into the VSM as we filled it. It later engulfed most of the pipe and made it about twice the size in solid ice. Its amazing to think that all of that water is from the air.

Brighton Pier

Brighton Pier (16-12-06)
Canon Powershot S2 IS
Lens Aperture: F/3.5
Shutter Speed: 1/50s
Focal Length: 51mm (306mm)
Filters: UV & PL

View of the West Pier from the East Pier near sunset. Couldn’t help the blur unfortunately, I had the aperture wide open and the camera sitting on the railing and it still blurred! I think the auto focussing let me down.

Brighton Pier (16-12-06)
Canon Powershot S2 IS
Lens Aperture: F/8
Shutter Speed: 1/30s
Focal Length: 15mm (90mm)
Filters: UV & PL

This sunset was only at 3:43pm, not too long later and it was really dark. Quite depressing really.

Earlsdon Sunrise

Earlsdon (10-12-2006)
Canon Powershot S2 IS
Lens Aperture: F/2.7
Shutter Speed: 1/13s
Focal Length: 6mm (36mm)
Filters: UV & PL (Through double glazing)
Post Processing: Changed the levels on the skyline part of the image for some weak attempt at a higher dynamic range.
The photo didn’t look anywhere near as vivid as reality so I had to try and digitally recreate it without blowing it all out too much. It kinda worked, but its not great I admit.

Southend Pier

Southend-on-sea, Essex (23-09-2006)
Canon Powershot S2 IS
Lens Aperture: F/4
Shutter Speed: 1/250s
Focal Length: 45mm (207mm)

The pier is 2158 Meters (1.33 Miles) long, and the visibility was particularly good when I took this, good enough that you can almost see the Kent coast nealy 10 miles away.

Diabolo Action

Sorry I didn’t put any photos up from my new camera when I promised! I’ll post some now. At this stage I was still getting used to the camera, so some of my early less staged shots were blurry. I was testing out the potential of using the zoom since I never had a zoom lens before. Here, it was useful for taking an action shot from quite a distance without anybody even realising.
