Comedy Gold

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 343 Aaron Bentley of the Launchpad Bazaar Integration team signs Spinal Tap’s Big Bottom at Ubuntu Unplugged. Quite possibly one of the funniest things a Launchpad developer has ever done.


Bay Walk

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 341 One of the piers of San Francisco. To the right, through the mist, you can see Treasure Island and the Bay Bridge.


Eye Spy

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 339 A security camera watches the tourists walking along Queen’s Walk under the London Eye.


The thinking man

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 302 Danilo Segan of the Launchpad team prepares to give a lightning talk. This was one of those accidental images that just worked.


Cold steel and glass

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 298 Buildings around Canada square in London. I took this shot because I liked the feeling of confusion that all the more-or-less identical grids of steel and glass gave; like being lost in a forest of giant, soulless, man-made trees.


Sleeping in light

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 293 Testing my new Westcott shoot-through umbrella. Strobist info: Vivitar 285hv at 1/16 through a shoot-through umbrella just above and behind the camera.


Will you? (Part I)

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 239 Note: Yes, I know, there are 31 days between this entry and the previous one. They will be filled in, never fear. Finding time to do the editing is problematic, that’s all. So. The important bit. This was taken on the [...]


These cloister’d halls

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 210 Some of the corridor (I want to say cloister; I don’t know if that’s right) around the central square of Norwich cathedral. I wish I could have cloned out the rubbish bin convincingly, but I couldn’t. Note the slightly odd-looking verticals [...]


Slats

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 209 A building on Prince of Wales Street in Norwich, lit by a solitary sodium lamp. I just liked the pattern.


Wasteland

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 199 At the foot of Heysham cliffs. This just seemed to work better in black and white.


Market Day

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 196 Marked day in Lancaster, shot pretty much from the hip. Not exactly Cartier-Bresson; I half wish that it was raining and that I’d dropped the shutter speed down.


What whispers did these walls one hear?

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 186 The remains of one of the walls of the great church at St Benet’s Abbey, on the banks of the River Bure. St Benet’s was alone in not being dissolved by Henry VIII. Instead, it was made part of the bishopric [...]


All that remains

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 185 The ruins of St Benet’s Abbey on the banks of the River Bure. This is an amazing set of ruins. Not only are parts of the abbey still there, but there’s also the remains of a wind pump that was built [...]


The way home

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 184 The path leading to South Walsham. Another case of I-should-have-followed-the-rule-of-thirds. Still, I like how this came out. Taken through a yellow filter to bring out the sky and lighten the corn. Just wish I could’ve got rid of the buildings…


Where summer doesn’t touch

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 175 I was kind of amazed that these trees still don’t have leaves on them. I’ve no idea why, though.


Dark side

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 174 I was trying to illustrate the duality of personality here, but I don’t think it quite worked. Actually, that’s rubbish. This was accidental, but I thought that it might almost work to illustrate the duality of personality. It’s not subtle enough [...]


Tock

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 173 Dandelion clock in the garden.


Stumped

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 172 Couldn’t get this one to turn out quite right, no matter what I did. Through a blue filter to bring out the texture.


Verboten

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 171 At Glasson Dock.


Waiting for the the tide

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 170 This ruined old boat sits by the side of the road at Sunderland, on the Lune estuary. I assume that it’s still fairly watertight, since it regularly changes position; the first time I saw it it was half buried in the [...]


Vein

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 169 Taken close-up with the 50mm Nikkor. Monochrome through a blue filter to bring out the veins.


Blowing my own horn

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 168 Because being a musician and not playing withers your soul.


Drip

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 166 I’m usually pretty reticent about taking the camera out in the rain. I needed to get over that – it’s perfectly capable of surviving a bit of damp – so I shot some stuff on a rainy day. This was just [...]


With the whole world in front of her

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 160 This didn’t come out quite the way I wanted, but I still think it’s beautiful.
