The Ohanaware WeblogLight Painting as dubbed by some, is a great new photography technique whereby people take long exposures and flash lights around while doing so. There’s a bunch of examples all over the internet and a couple of guides. We didn’t read any of the guides and tried to do it ourselves the other night.

Several years ago, I was on a radio talk show. My main topic of concern was internet shopping and the high-street. While I’m a geek, and the internet is my domain, I still love to go window shopping.

It’s that time of year when I’m looking for a new camera, I have a list of things I look for in a camera, it needs to fit in my pocket, it needs to be great image quality, it needs Auto Bracket Exposure & RAW (for HDR), it should have Face recognition, low-light photos are a must, has to come with a flash, it needs to have a full manual mode and should be reasonably priced (If money wasn’t an option I’d buy the Leica X1 at $4000 instantly).
Over the past few weeks I’ve had my eye on the superb looking Sony NEX-5. So is search over, or do I have to continue looking?

If not all, but most of my photos come from chance, so I like to have a pocketable camera with me at all times. I used to tote a much larger super zoom camera, but I would think about it before I went out for a walk. Many times I missed what I thought were photo opportunities, so last year I researched into pro-sumer pocket cameras.
