Mother’s Day. I have lots of pics from Italy, CeBIT and Brighton to go up when I get a chance too.

And the results

Playing around with the retro creative colour options on the GF1

This weekend I managed to spend the best part of £100 on door hooks. Lots of doors needed hooks, and one wall needed special fixings. It was essential, but I feel vaguely sick. Still, at least our coats aren’t hanging over the stair rail anymore.

I did manage to play with the GF1 quite a bit, though. Still trying to find a reliable RAW tool which can easily fix the lens distortion in Linux, in the meantime the JPGs are pretty good. As far as Windows tools go, the software came with it is awfule. Love the fun colour settings, though.

New toy

A member of the proud GF1 owners club at last.

As an aside, I forgot my camera on Monday and saw this on special offer in duty free. I’ve been after one for month’s – the size and image quality makes the GF1 an amazing tool for journalism. Of course, the irony is that this shot was taken with the rubbish phone cam.

I should, of course, have bought the kit with the 20mm pancake lens in – but they didn’t have it at the Duty Free. Something else to save up for, then.
