Stuff I had to do today:
- Convert a single movie into 8 sub-movies and burn to DVD.
- Work on a shoot of a condo, which needed HDR on nearly every view to get a balance between the inside and outside light.
- Manage requests from a client who wanted a different emphasis from my shoots than the one I felt was right.
- Take photos of a particularly obstinate LED light that refused to be photographed as the client required.
- Spend time with my wife on her day off.
Needless to say, I failed to complete all of these; but at the end of the day it seemed right to take my beloved to Bruno’s for a fine meal, finished off by a “special coffee”

Panasonic GX1 with Voigtlander 25mm at F1.4, ISO 3200
Good times. Need to go and lie down now.

2012-02-10| Spike saysIt was whatever you call coffee that has Cointreau in it. Pleased with the shot. It was particularly hard to manually focus after a bottle of rather nice Chilean white; must be a fault in the camera.
