Photo Revolution @ The Forum - more info

Here's the flyer for the Photo Revolution exhibition/workshop/project that's kicking off on Monday at the Forum. Looking forward to it, and I hope to see people who have been on NAC courses coming along and putting their images up.

Photo Revolution @ The Forum

If you're in the city on March 29 or 30th, pop into the Forum and head for Fusion. Fusion is the huge screen near the BBC (you have to go past BBC reception to get to it, don't let that put you off). I'll be there for two days with a load of digital compact cameras and Apple Macs loaded with Photoshop.

The idea is we're going to build a spectrum of colour across the enormous screen, made from hundreds of pictures that will be taken by anyone who fancies having a go. If you have images that are dominated by a colour, bring them along and we'll put them on the screen. By the end of the two days, we'll have filled the screen with images that will reveal a spectrum of colour. Spread the word, anyone can have a go. Hopefully, there will ben email address you can send pictures to. I will post here when we know.

Bags

I'm going away in a few weeks and I'm going on an aeroplane. I want to take my laptop and my c amera, three lenses, a flash gun and a trigger. Oh and some clothes and stuff like that. My current bag, the vast CompuTracker AW plus is just too big to sneak on as hand luggage. So I've been e-shopping. Endless hours spent hunting down the state of play in the photo bag world led me to the LowePro FastPack 350.

It looks pretty good, I like the natty way you can slip it off one shoulder, open up the bag and have access to your camera. I also like that you can watch YouTube videos of people showing you how it works.

It should arrive in a week, I'll let you know how it goes. In the meantime, here's one of many YooToob vids about the bag. I like his moustache.
