Random Dark Photos

September 13th, 2008

I felt like playing around with my camera by taking a few more long time exposures (ten to fifteen seconds) of dark scenes where the light source might be my glow brick or some other faint source.

So I’ve had a holiday in a caravan with my family in rainy Cornwall during the week that had possibly the worst forecast for July ever.

Looping Smarties Pattern

April 16th, 2008

Yesterday I was given the interesting task of creating a looping pattern of smarties to be printed off in giant scale and wrapped around the outside of a van. After buying several smarties and taking a few photographs later, I produced this pattern:
