State of Play

I was catching up with last week's Sunday Times and saw an article on the upcoming release of 'State of Play' with Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck and Helen Mirren. The initial reviews look promising, but it made me want to have a look at the original series.

I'd forgotten just how good a piece of TV it actually was, a really great cast of actors and characters and superb piece of writing from Paul Abbot.

Remakes tend to be utter pish, so I'll reserve judgement but it might be worth a look, especially as it's directed by Kevin Macdonald (Touching the Void, Last King of Scotland).

Behind the wire (again)

Not a lot to say about this shot, other than I liked the way that it turned out. Had been out to meet my mate Kenny for a beer and to watch the football and spotted this car park behind a building on George St.

Messing with Bokeh

Still trying to get to grips with my 50mm f/1.4 which, takes a bit of getting used to, it's incrediblly difficult to get sharp images from it.

It's capabilities far outweigh my skills at the moment, but it's good fun. Nice to tout around a fairly light, compact lens for once too. It's opened up some nice possibilities taking my SLR in the office with me.

London

Little trip to London this week for a meeting with a client at the Gherkin, what an amazing building it is, both inside and out. I could handle spending some more time in there.

Second shot is of the Lloyds Building reflected in the building opposite.
