As these things tend to be rather hectic I did not expect any time for anything interesting and so only took the G10 from the lab to get some pictures of the plants. However, on the way back on Sunday I had a 9 hour wait between flights at Newark. So, I took the train to New York and spent some hours in and had lunch at the MoMA. Afterwards I strolled back to Penn Station to catch my flight back to Bristol. As you know I'm a confirmed film man, but I thought I'd give the G10 a whirl. Here are a few of the results: http://johnbeeching.com/apple/album/index.html You will note, some se?oritas for Lluis! On the plus side, it is silent. But I don't like the viewfinder or the funny little screen at the back. The lack of ready control over it was also frustrating, as are the blown highlights. But I wasn't totally dissatisfied with the results; however, I'm happy to be back to my Leica and Tri-X! Normally the G10 is screwed onto a gel documentation set up to photgraph ethidium bromide-stained DNA gels. Perhaps I should have handled it with latex gloves!
