It's all black & white..

I've started looking back at when the 'love' of photography started to grow in me... Meanwhile, I came across the first set of photographs (digital) that I shot in raw format - I don't think any camera I've owned has been out  of raw mode since... 

Just wanted to share some shots that never worked with you.. and a couple I like, too..  

Not everything has to be sharp and perfect to offer a memory... Cuba is awesome... 

Mirror to the sun

When we were in England, I spent a lot of time telling people "oh, no, I like it cold..." and I guess I do, but the only reason I like it cold is this... it's easier to warm up than it is to cool down - I think. 

This photo above was taken in Greece I think... It was warm there, really warm...

BUT, that's not what this post is about - this is about "new beginnings"  

I've just pulled the pin on my old hosting with Brinkster, I signed up with them in 2006 and have been with them ever since - it was "ok"  

I signed up with SquareSpace last night after using a couple of weeks trial... Very impressed AND it would seem that SquareSPace is more about how your website looks, but they maintain a great CMS / backend / the bit you put the content into as well as being great with SEO etc etc...  

So, raise your glass folks, we're into another era...

Instagram [web] adds embed code

So this just showed up and I didn't even notice... Maybe I was asleep? Now you can use the web version of Instagram to grab the embed code for your instagram images...

Then pop them on your blog etc... You can also grab other people's embed code and pop their photographs on your blog, hmmm..

For example, it would seem my friend Rachel and I had similar thoughts today, or.. at least we both caught trains?

Anyways... Instagram embed, get err embedded...

thinkTankThursday... Free stuff

Well, it isn't *that* kind of thinkTankThursday, but here's a little promo for you, if you're interested and considering belting up.

With this (click the pic above or below) you get a free Li'l Stuff It or Drink bottle holder (R U Thirsty) to slot onto your new Speed Convertible or Change Up V2.0 pack.

You can also hang crime fighting related accessories from the afore mentioned packs. Just like Batman.

Here's a baby in a box...

You can get a special *deal* on other stuff, too.. click this link and then wander about in the online store. Don't shoplift.

Alternatively, here's a great photo of a green Lamborghini

Peak Design Capture V2 is here!

As some of you furry freaks may know, I'm on the Peak Design Pro Team - and have been using Capture since it first launched via Kickstarter way back in the day... Having a strong dislike for the inflexibility of the generic camera strap, the introduction of Leash and Cuff was also an exciting time for me... I use them for much more than simply attaching my camera to something. You can check out using the code POLLOCK for a discount on your gear, and you should get in early on this Kickstarter, too... But more than that, here's Pete and the team with Capture V2.0 

Have a look at the progress, below....

Please let me know in the comments if you have any questions about Capture, Leash or Cuff! Happy to answer any questions you have.

Sime.

Oh, and for that one guy that said he wouldn't trust his Canon 50D with his 50mm to Leash, here's a picture my missus snapped of me on the weekend... Good times!
