There’s a danger with something like photography that you get too interested in the equipment rather than the process.

Sitting here this morning with a coffee I was looking around a few photography sites and stumbled across Epson’s digital rangefinder the RD-1 and then a gallery of some pictures taken with it. The camera costs a lot more than I’d want to spend on one at the moment but the attraction is that it’s new and a challenge.

After looking around for a site offering it with slightly fewer zero’s on the price tag I decided to try something new with what I had and dug out the zoneplate I’d bought this year. You get some very odd looks taking pictures with a camera with what appears to be the body cap and no lens attached. It’s also virtually impossible to see what you are taking but at least today there was a lot of sunlight and if you squinted you could just see.

I think I like what I took today, they look a little Monet’s paintings of London have a nice atmospheric feel to them. Check then out here.
