The Commute
Friday, March 12 | | Labels: commute, Daily Doco, personal, projects

I spend a lot of my life on buses. Waiting for them. Wondering if I'm going to make a certain bus at a certain time. Pacing around a stop bench willing one to arrive earlier, because I've just missed the last one and it's a 45 minute wait for the next.
(The last of that happens more often than it should.)
The commute is an ongoing module in my qualification from the University of Life. It's an exercise of being removed from any controllable context, which is kind of freeing; my daily lesson in How To Let Go Because There Isn't A Damned Thing You Can Do About It.
One day I remembered again that my stupid telephone which hangs and reboots itself all the time had a camera, that I could be doing something educational instead of twiddling my thumbs without anything to read. So I did.
These are mostly taken with the E71, with a few from the recently acquired G11, which is proving to be a great little camera for this kind of shooting.
My daily meditation.
I have a new toy...

Doesn't my new toy look good when the JPEG's straight out of a Nikon:

I'm still learning how to get what I want out of it, and having all manner of stupid fun in the process.
- So small
- So silent - where's the obnoxious mirror slap?
- So differently laid out
- That weighs nothing
- Keep hitting random additional buttons when taking a photo
- Am never quite sure if I've actually taken the photo
- Take forever to find the right menu setting if I want to change anything
- Move it a lot more than intended
