Happy New year every one, and i hope that you have a great 2015.

While you are all out celebrating christmas and the new year, i have been stuck on a 35 year old gas and oil platform in the north sea.

Fly home soon though and will be spending some quality time with the family.

Can... not... wait!!

Here are some images from a cold Ninian South Platform...

Here are some images taken at night while offshore at work. These images believe it or not are taken with the Lumix GF1, i would never have been able to have taken these with the Canon G10. The quality is superb!

GF1 Adventure.

February 26, 2012 in London

Hello,

I wanted to post some images that were recently taken on my Lumix GF1

I am certainly loving this little point and shoot camera. I have a fixed 20mm prime lens for it, which i find to be a great tool on improving your photography. When using a prime lens you are restricted to compose by using...- your feet!

If you want a tighter crop then walk closer, and so it is certainly making me look at things differently.

Having a little point and shoot on your person is great so you don't miss anything when you are out and about conducting your day to day business.

The Above image is a great example of this, I was out in Cambridge to get a spot for lunch, and walking towards the restaurant we walked past this tiny alleyway. I stopped,

I took a step back and loved how the light was playing a huge part in making the contrast you see. I took a quick shot and off for some grub.

Over time I will be adding some more "snappy" shots that I take with the GF1. I hope that you enjoy it.
