I treated myself to a new little camera at the weekend. Over the last year I found myself taking more and more photos on my iphone which is fun but not really useful for much since it’s still fairly low quality. I decided the reason was that my giant SLR is obviously too heavy and bulky (not to mention obtrusive) to carry around. I love the couple of film rangefinders I have and wanted something similar. Then last week, I’d been asked to make a short film and was going to rent one of the new dSLRs that films in HD, but after checking out this little Panasonic GF1 I couldn’t resist. Two birds with one stone and all that!

But, enough talk about cameras which I’m sure if any of you are like me aren’t all that bothered about since it’s a means to an end. I wanted to share with you the test video I took last night. It was very low light as the “sun” was setting [I assume it was there behind the cloud cover]. It took me a few hours to edit this really short 30second clip because in all my sleep deprived madness I decided to take the time to learn the full ins and outs of Final Cut (editing software).

And since we’re on the subject of robots head over to Quotidian Robotics to see the first comic! I’ll be updating it every Monday with illustrations and comics.
