NMS Museum Lates: Game Masters

We went back to the NMS for the Game Masters Museum Late last month.

Things weren’t quite as photogenic as last year, with the whole affair being darker (both inside lighting & lack of sunlight due to being in February rather than May)

Narrative Clip – 2015 part 1

So the ‘week whatever’ naming scheme was getting just a tad ridiculous, so as the previous Clip post happened to be on New Year’s Eve 2014 I figured ‘2015 part 1’ would make more sense!

With the start of 2015, the office sloth calendar finally comes into its own :)

Mirrorshades Stills

I exported some still frames from videos taken during the user studies of my Mirrorshades platform for inclusion in my thesis, thought I’d share them here too!

2015 Consumerism

I bought some nice film cases from Japan Camera Hunter (aka Bellamy Hunt) around this time last year & whilst I loved the idea I’ve found that 10x rolls is simply too much to carry in my bag. Even if I’m going on a trip for several days, I would only use the 10x cases as far as the hotel room & would then decant a smaller number into something else to actually carry around each day.

Then last week I discovered that Bellamy has released a ‘half’ sized version that holds 5x rolls! Once again, shipping was the same price for up to 3x cases & there were 3x colours so…

They happen to be the perfect size to fit into one of the front pockets of my new Billingham Hadley Small (this one is sage fibrenyte with chocolate leather).

Yes, Billinghams are almost laughably expensive, but so far this is the only camera bag I’ve owned that I didn’t immediately find at least one annoying flaw/niggle with (& I’ve owned Tenba, Timbuk2, Crumpler & Think Tank) so if it lasts for as long as people claim they do then I reckon it was a justifiable expense. Or at least that’s how I’m fooling myself.

I also got a frame made for one of the shots I took at Covent Garden a few months back. I get frames from Picture Frames Express, you can order them to whatever frame/mount dimensions you want (down to the mm) which is great if you’ve cropped an image to some ‘non standard’ aspect ratio.
