It’s a brilliant location as the hall is situated on the Deeside Way, just a few yards from the River Dee. Also showing [...] This is the post I didn’t want to write, the one I’d been dreading, the words we hoped need never be typed. We lost. Peacock Visual Arts are in dire straits now as their previously approved building, with 75% funding, has been tossed aside by Aberdeen City Councillors in favour of a pipe dream that will [...] I feel sick.

It was dark by the time I got home from work today, too dark to do anything. It was pretty damn cold today too. I almost [...] That’s right, just a week after Nikon blew us away with those ISO figures, Canon have launched the 1DS Mark IV with the same crazy ISO figures. Canon 1DS Mark IV Weighing in at 16.1 MP and featuring 1080p video recording, the 1DS is a true heavyweight and certainly brings Canon back into the battle for pro-SLR [...] Oh god I want one of these. Imagine the pictures you can get with 12800 ISO with low noise. Nikon yesterday – I know, I was busy – announced the launch of an updated version of their flagship DSLR, the D3.
