See how the following picture is over-exposed to the point of almost no detail in the dish of fried rice (left) and how the details have been pulled out through processing (right).

First 35mm negative scan

If you own a film SLR, don’t discard it yet. Instead, get a decent scanner and a DIY C-41 development kit, and you will get as much from your camera as you would from the current high-end digital SLRs.

Insania

On a positive note, October is behind us.

It is all about capturing the moment. Here is a bunch of my favourite pictures, all captured in lo-res.

01042008

Potatoes, after they’ve been left on their own for four weeks. If you have never seen anything like this, the first thing you’d be doing is go for the camera.

04042008

“Are you trying to kill us? You must be NUTS!” Humour at work.

28032008

A familiar view to many mauritians,  I am sure. When I saw this, it brought instant memories of travelling to school by bus and passing this spot every day. I had to capture it before it was lost.

 29122007

I have this thing for over-hanging sales signs.

 Scorcher

First Great Western. The lighting was perfect, yet that was the one day I did not have a proper camera on me.

 DSC00049

A day in Paris. I was amazed by the sheer amount of concrete at La Défense and the almost absolute absence of green.

This is the location of Haiti.

And, this is the location of Mauritius.

How amazing is it that despite the distance both people speak creole with so many similarities?

I AM in a phase where I am constantly switching between the left brain and right brain.

Some days, I come back home with an urge to work on photos. Other days, all I can think of is code.

Tonight is photo night, well deserved after spending the week scanning code for bugs.

Eddy.

I HAVE a confession to make… I am a sucker for love stories in movies.

Some of my favourites:

Watch 50 First Dates, and you might just turn into a romantic, too.

“Good morning Lucy.” Awww… Best ending ever!

Eddy.
