I was feeling a bit nostalgic today, thinking about all the nonsense we could get up to, back when we had oodles of free time. Unfortunately there is surprisingly little archival footage of the trike. This shot is from its last good run, before the ”incident”.
I have been playing around with extreme low light again, in another attempt to embrace the grain. This one was shot at 1/50th, f2.0, ISO 1600 and pushed about a stop and a half in post.
The Old Biscuit Mill hosts the nicest Hippie Market I have yet visited and also some interesting shops, the most fun of which is ”Clockwork Orange, Mid Century Modern”.
Clockwork Orange is full of awesome awesome things from the 70’s and 80’s that I want but would never spend my money on. The best one was this fantastic vintage Millennium Falcon.
Regular people can stop reading at this point (actually, to be fair, regular people probably don’t care about scale models of fictional space craft either, so I expect they have already stopped reading).
After months of idle threats, I have finally made the switch to Ubuntu. I am a long time GIMP evangelist, so post processing is no issue, but I have been struggling to find something I like for RAW conversions and photo management. This one was converted with Rawstudio, which is by far the best I have tried. Still outrageously slow though (come to think of it, so is GIMP on linux, whats with that?). If anyone has any smart suggestions, I would love to hear ’em.
