A brand new cassette tape, bought today in Poundland in Leamington Spa. Two for £1 (everything in Poundland is £1).
Note how it doesn't say how long the tape is.

Compact is a neat little studs up font. Basic, but gets the job done. Perfect for signing mosaics.

I guess like many night photographers, the idea of finding, exploring and shooting a great tunnel really appeals. This tour, organised by TfL (Transport for London), could've gone a long way to addressing that but for their insane decision to ban DSLRs from the station.
You might already have read about it, it's been trending on twitter and there's a lot of negative stories on various photography forums.
Here's the tale, with a little bit of opinion thrown in.
TfL uses the location for training and alongside that they manage to fit in some film location work. Like, it's the station that appeared in V for Vendetta and Die Another Day. Generally, though, it's closed to the public.
When the idea of tours was thrown around in the TfL office, someone obviously twigged that tours without photography would be a non-starter. The visitors on location backed that up, with every couple- and it was mostly couples- on our tour carrying at least one imaging device. At the same time, the corporate bods must've figured that with photo sharing at a high, lots of high quality images floating around the web would do harm to future tours. Why does that matter? £20/ ticket x 2500 tickets (TfL stats) makes quite a compelling argument.
So, what to do? A ban on DSLRs is the only option that's logistically possible to enforce but with very capable compact-looking cameras available like the M9 (haha) or the more realistic X100/ PEN/ GF1 units it doesn't stack up.
On location, the notices (and staff) gave little away, claiming the DSLR ban was due to "their combination of high-quality sensor and high resolution". A TfL employee I spoke to after the tour said it was due to them wanting to disallow urbexers from high quality images which could provide information about access points for illicit entry.
Subsequently, in a statement to The Verge TfL has expanded their actions saying: "there was not a ban on taking photos during tours. However, there were restrictions on professional cameras and tripods because we were concerned that people using them could delay the tours for others, as it was a very tight schedule."
Smacks of an excuse to me.
First of all DSLRs are de rigeur these days, used as an everyday imaging device by countless people. That doesn't mean that every DSLR user is an avid photographer seeking to get the cleanest possible shot at great lengths.
Discount the guys who bought a DSLR because that's what the man in the shop said they should buy and you're left with those who bought one consciously, to record great pictures. Within that group there will be users who are unable to approach a situation pragmatically; who don't see the potential in live documentary or abstraction, but these guys will be far outnumbered by those who can quickly line up their shot in the knowledge that an errant leg, arm or head can be dealt with in PP.
In the absence of owning a compact I had it in mind to take the D300 w/ 35mm f/2 and bluff 'n' blag my way through. Mother-in-law came to the rescue (how often can you say that?) with her Sony CyberShot thingy, the results from which are what you're seeing here.
Given their inferior quality, I felt compelled to upload my images in their highest resolution... also thought it might be a good time to experiment with the whole Creative Commons licensing model...
Feel free to download and share as you deem fit - know any urbexers? :)
The Fujica Compact Deluxe is a 35 mm rangefinder camera made by Fuji Film Japan on the '60. This camera was from a friend of mine. You can read the user's manual at www.scribd.com/doc/30795468/Fujica-Compact-Deluxe-35-mm-r...
A huge word of thanks to the farmer involved who was sowing Winter Barley near Castletownroche County Cork
Appareil compact 35 mm fabriqué au Japon en 1989 avec objectif Fujinon zoom 40 - 80 mm . Auto focus avec touche de blocage sur l'infini. Flash débrayable, film 135 DX, moteur et 1 pile CR2. 425 g et 14 x 7 x 6.5 cm. Retardateur avec rafale de 1 2 3 photos .
In February, I noted the following statement from the U.S. Government:
"If every American home changed out just 5 high-use light fixtures or the bulbs in them with ones that have earned the ENERGY STAR, each family would save more than $60 every year in energy costs, and together we'd keep more than one trillion pounds of greenhouse gases out of our air – equal to the emissions of 8 million cars. That's a $6 billion energy savings for Americans, equivalent to the annual output of more than 21 power plants."
I am now quite pleased to note that we have replaced 20 bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs at home.

With this, you can use off-camera flash outdoors with a compact camera. Many people have been asking to do this, obviously, because they don't want to buy a new camera. To use this, turn on the built-in flash on your camera, attach the optical trigger (SYK-3) to the radio transmitter. Hold those two near the camera when you take the photo. The flash will trigger the radio remote, which will trigger the big flash. If you are more than a few feet away, the built-in flash will not have much effect on the subject, but the speedlite will.
Recommended settings for tombstone photography with this set-up: Flash at 1/4 power, about 4 feet away from tombstone. Camera on Program Mode (P), with -1 stop of exposure compensation. Adjust to taste and circumstances.
Remember to turn off any pre-flash modes on your camera, such as red-eye reduction.
This should be great for most shots.

This is a nice little compact camera from the late 1960s. It is very sturdy with all metal construction. The condition is surprisingly good except that the lens label plate is missing and the foam seals need replacement. The selenium meter is still working, but the EV reading is one stop lower when compared with my DSLR. This can be compensated with higher ISO setting (e.g. use ISO 200 for ISO 100 film). The maximum ISO setting is 200. That leaves ISO 100 film as the best choice for this camera.
The lens is Fujinon 38mm f/2.8 with aperture down to f/22. The Seiko-L shutter has speed 1/30-1/250s, and Bulb. The shutter works in one of three modes: (1) when the aperture is set to "A", the shutter is automatically locked to "A/flash", this is the programmed auto exposure mode; (2) when the aperture is set to a non-"A" position and the shutter is set to "A/flash", the shutter speed is set to a fixed flash sync speed, this is the flash mode; (3) when both aperture and shutter are set to non-"A" position, it works in full manual exposure mode.
