Boy is it going to rain in east Belfast. Very vivid colours I haven't enhanced at all...

A pause whilst configuring the new 48 channel sound desk at Knock Presbyterian Church, East Belfast. Although this weekend for morning service I was only using 19 of them. Shot using a 30mm prime lens and on a tripod and timer. Tiny tweaks in Aperture.

I was desperate to get out and shoot some images today - but storms, rain, childcare and my lingering cold forbade it. I stared out the window at raindrops landing in a puddle, and then I thought, "Wait a minute..." All shot in a kitchen bowl with coloured paper underneath it. Drops came from an upturned blank cd case cover - as suggested in the January AP. All in all, took me an hour. Could be better, but fun was definitely had.

Keith Burnside is a newsreading legend at BBC Radio Ulster. Or so he told me a couple of weeks ago when I shot this! A framed version of this now sits at his Mum's, so she can see him when she's listening to him read the news. Isn't that lovely? This studio sits in the newsroom at Broadcasting House, Belfast. The street outside is Linenhall St West. PC screen 1 shows ENPS, a production system for broadcast journalists, PC screen 2 shows Dalet, a French mainframe audio editing and play out system. The paper cup is pretty reliable.
