Getting to know the X100S – Take 1
Had about an hour in the Camden Markets. Like the X100, the X100S' leaf shutter is deaf silent, allowing me to get shots like these without my hapless subjects noticing. Unless I approach them from the front - only if they look friendly! I wasn't quick enough with this one. Robotman here loves rushing towards cameras and I couldn't step back in time to get an uncropped frame. Today saw the passing of Lady Thatcher and this bric-a-brac shop was quick to catch on with the 'Iron Baby' and her preferred read.
Feathers, feathers, everywhere
World Pillow Fight Day (whoever comes up with these things?) at Trafalgar Square. Silly good fun. Lovely weather. Difficult to believe that it was snowing just two days ago. My camera got bashed by an errant pillow while I was shooting, which made the screen hit hard against the bridge of my nose; for a while I was afraid that a nosebleed was forthcoming but the feathers I was breathing in probably saved the day! (There's some colour inconsistency among the photos since I was shooting with two different cameras.)
Easter egg roll
I've had quite enough of puns today, thank you very much. Easter on Primrose Hill, nothing too eggxotic, but still, quite an eggstraordinary eggsperience! There was the Eggscalibur in the fancy eggdress competition, eggxhilarating games like eggxtreme egg rolling and three-l-egged run - oh you're in the way, better make an eggscape! All rather eggcellent, eggcept for the weather up there - uneggspectedly eggcedingly chilly, our fingers eggscruitatingly numbed (not eggsagerating by the way).
Swiss retreat
Mostly around the vineyards near Lausanne.
