Testing the Canon 5D Mk2...

On Thursday I will be privileged to spend a day with Canon testing the Canon 5D Mk2.

As a Nikonian myself, they might be taking a risk with this :)

I'll try to be fair.

However, lazywebs: is there anything you want to know about it? Anything you'd like me to test?

Requests in the comments please!

Taylor Wessing Photography Prize exhibition at the NPG

I was going to write a long and rambling rave review of this exhibition but The Times did it for me.

I'll add a couple of things:

1. It didn't piss me off. This is important. I have a visceral reaction to other people's pictures and this exhibition, like the Tillmans, made me smile.

2. I've seen it three times now and enjoyed it as much each time.

3. If you want to go see it, I'll tag along too again.

That's all.

Regent's Park this afternoon. In an otherwise horrible afternoon for shooting, the sun came out for a few moments, revealing this.

High Holborn night

Last night was the first of my "Photographing London" course. I signed up mostly to get out of a rut. I've been doing plenty of sessions and some portraiture but was feeling stuck. I'm embracing being a "Londoner", have been doing lots out and about like the museums and stuff like the Globe, but I've not really felt I've "caputred the essence" of London.

I feel like I did it last night. Grimy, saturated and packed with action.

Like London.
