Abingdon Spring Head

Abingdon Spring Head 2012-Div01 - Images by Rob Bowker

I just worked out (assuming I get my decimal points in the right place) that yesterday I spent 8 hours on the banks of the Thames to produce less than 3 seconds work. That's 1576 photos at roughly 1/500 second each. This got whittled down to 852 photos, so the fruits of my labour amount to under a couple of second's worth of action. Then there's the next 8 hours editing, uploading and marketing...

Just goes to show how your mind wanders between divisions. Mental maths doesn't keep you warm, but it takes your mind off the biting North wind.

Speaking of which, Divisions 2, 3 and 4 will be live online before noon today.

Bridge over the Lot at Puy l'Évêque

Panorama of Puy l'Eveque, Rue du Dr Rouma supplied by Panoramic Earth

Taking this panorama was a bit of a challenge because the whole bridge wobbled and vibrated every time a moderately sized truck bounced along it. I waited until the traffic died down to a lone cyclist.

Moulsford railway bridge

Panorama of Moulsford railway bridge from below supplied by Panoramic Earth

I made this on Wednesday. The wind was blowing the clouds about something rotten, the light was in and out all the time. So, I retreated under the bridge where surely there were too many perspective lines to stitch a decent panorama from. Turns out not. Top tip for non-fisheye users: photograph slightly above the level of any railings in the foreground, otherwise you'll have a heck of a job stitching them up in the edit.
