Nature in Art Museum, Gloucestershire

[Hamish Gill]

We did a training day on friday for the end users of a website we have just (nearly) finished. It was held at The nature in are museum in near Gloucester ... Its a pretty impressive building so thought i would take a quick snap as i left ... as it happened Julie, one of the lasses we were training walked out the door in her fetching red coat... Anyway, its probably not a world changing image, but I like it!

Shot with my Epson RD1s and 35mm 1.4 voigtlander lens

this is the website http://www.gloucestershirerevealed.co.uk/
If anyone is ever looking for anything to do in Gloucestershire, this is basically the site to look at!

Love the curve of the path, and the red coat is perfect.

Excellent shot Hamish. The lady in red makes it I think. And a very nice website you have all created too. I do like the blobby characters and the fresh look and feel.

 

[Hamish Gill]

The blobby characters are a creation of a company we work very closely with called PS Graphics Ps Graphics new site is under construction
Carol is Joe's (my business partner) mother ... he used to work for her until we stole him!
the rest of the site is Joes design, gregs system and i ... well ... I put the design on the template, so i cant really take huge responsibility for it
Cheers though, and for the comments on the photo

... I think I prefer using the Epson to the x100 you know ...
It's taken a while to come to this conclusion ... But I do!
The x100 wins out on resolving power, close focus and low light ... In fact it is probably a better camera all round ... Its just not a RF! And it doesn't have a 1:1 vf like the Epson ... Nothing has a 1:1 vf like the Epson ... If it had a better sensor it would probably be my perfect carry everywhere camera!
The Epson also handles exposure really nicely ... I think it might acutally quite heavily underexpose, but it works so well!

Pete, ages ago you mentioned how fast you could focus with an rf ... I think I said I felt otherwise ... I might not have done ... Not sure ... If I did I was wrong!

Very nice Hamish - looks like you've had some nice spring weather!

The red coat does indeed make the shot

Cheers Chris, yeah the last few days have been lovely! Within a few weeks we have had snow and yesterday I took the dogs out in just a tshirt (I'm going to preempt the obvious silliness and say I was of course also wearing trousers etc )

Ooo that website could be handy for my long weekend doon in your area and nice pic Hamish

The lassie in the red coat really grabs yer eye. Very nice Hamish.

I was going to send you a link to it when you asked before Alan, but it wasn't quite ready...
Shame there isn't a similar site for Worcester really ...

Cheers Brian
