Daily Vignette #1: Shoreham Saturday
[vimeo 20994464 w=521 h=293]
Another little project for myself: shoot short vignettes capturing the feel or an aspect of a day in under 30 seconds. This was yesterday’s.
Wonder how long this one will last? :-)
The original idea was to have these as "motion photographs" and post them to Flickr. And then I remembered that Flickr hasn't yet got its act together to provide iPad and iPhone compatible video yet, so I went with Vimeo instead.

Another photo from the most recent roll of film I shot. The film grain really enhances the effect of this image, I think.
Old & New: Film Finis Redux
A while ago, I started a project I called Film Finis. The idea was to use up all the remaining photographic film I had, enoy myself while doing so, and then switch to an all-digital future. I kinda got side-tracked with other things over the last six months, but finally, I'm going on it again. The image above is from a film I shot over a couple of weekends around Shoreham-by-Sea. In fact, it was shot on the very same walk that produced these images.
And…it is fun. It's really strange now not being able to look at the image after I've taken it; to just trust that the image has been captured. And it makes you more of a sniper - you pick and choose which images to take, rather than scattershotting, knowing you can delete anything that doesn't come up to scratch later. It's good discipline, which I need to bring back to my digital photography.
Sunday's made for beach walks…
The sun finally struggled out again today, bathing Shoreham-by-sea in a warm light that belied the cold breeze still in the air. Chilly? Yes. But not enough to stop me taking a long walk around the beach this afternoon:
