Kevin Steinhardt's photostream  

It's 2012 and still we can't even get apostrophe charaters to work. I swear this was a everyday ASCII apostrophe too.

I tend to keep my digital SLR at work these days, since I don't feel too comfortable lugging it between Haarlem and Amsterdam on a daily basis unprotected (and I do have a camera bag, but it's not the prettiest thing on the planet).

Before taking any product photo(e)s, I need to judge what shutter speed to use since I'm not a fan of my Olympus' AUTO setting and I'd rather have a little more control over how the photograph comes out, but different installations of lighting in our offices and warehouse mean that the shutter speed used in one part of the building might not produce desirable results in another - and of course, why would it? I end up with quite a few 'test shots' like the one above sitting around with not much to do after a few weeks, and I thought I'd share this one with you today.

I can't remember what brand of film I was using on this shoot, but I'm (now) not a huge fan of its contrast. A little discontrast is nice every now and then. Think it was just generic Jessops colour film.

P.S. Does anyone know the etymological source of 'helter skelter'?

The difference between the "date taken" dates and "date uploaded" dates of photographs on my photostream is quite surprising: it takes me on average 6,89 months to get an image uploaded. True that I upload some quite old photo(e)s sometimes, but I upload some photo(e)s as soon as I've taken them.

So what if there was a site that took in all of your public images, their date of capture and upload, and spat out a figure in months? As far as I know, no such app exists as of yet.
