My 1D recently had a shutter blow out, not great after only 78k shots but very happy to have her back!

Simple web apps for shopping, Lenshero.com gets it right

The amount of times I’ve found myself in a shopping centre browsing for products thinking to myself, why can’t they just build an online app for this? It would make it so much easier to find what I want. A fridge is the perfect example. Why doesn’t fridge shops have an online app where I can plug in my dimensions, select what I want, then just show me what fits.

Being a programmer makes this extra frustrating because it really quite a simple thing to build if you have the content. The content is easy to, that’s just however many hours for a temp to plug it all in.

Then you come across a site like lenshero.com. Ahhh, now THAT’s how you do it! Easy.

If you want to buy a lens, tell the site what camera you have, what lens you want, or what you already own, and they show you the results. Simple. Love it!

Milky Way Spin

Camping recently in the Barrington Tops in NSW, looking up at night you tend to see a fair few more stars then in the ol’ big smoke.

This one I exposed for a little over ten minutes, but what’s great about living in the southern hemisphere is we get a far better view of the Milky Way then the folks up north.

Canon is running a campaign around the public uploading photos to create a chain linked by common ideas, my photo was selected for one of them which is pretty cool.

Sprint tyre, awesome!

Today’s V8 Supercar race was one of the best of have seen in a long time, and it seems to be a result of the sprint tyre. Alex Davison’s push from mid field in the last few laps was nothing short of serious excitement. Michael Caruso’s win was also fantastic.
