I have another Shiny Thing
Dec. 4th, 2010 05:55 pmWhy yes, I have been indulging my camera gear obsession.

Meet my new Canon AE-1 Program, £60 off eBay and in near spotless condition for something ~25 years old. Isn't she a beauty?
Now I need to learn how to work the thing, decide what film to try out, buy film, take photos and find a good lab to develop them. The cost of film and developing means I'll probably limit myself to no more than a roll a month, so it's not like I'm giving up digital any time soon. But what I'd give to have a digital camera that has the viewfinder as nice and large as this one.

Just the TV adverts for the new Chronicles of Narnia film are making me teary, so I think I'm going to need an industrial-sized box of tissues to take with me when I go see it. Also, I always thought Aslan was a bit of a sanctimonious prick with a habit of turning up at the end of the battle and claiming all the credit, but I adore him now he sounds like Liam Neeson. What? I never claimed I wasn't utterly shallow.
