Despite arriving back from Hawaii & New York over 2 weeks ago, it's taking me an age to get through all the photos. I managed to get a few honeymoon photos up on flickr, just choose either New York or Hawaii.

I cannot express how beautiful Hawaii was and the photos will go no way to even showing you, it's a place you really have to see for yourself.

The 24 hour trip getting there was hard, but totally worth it! Wedding photos to come soon!

I've been uploading some photos throughout the day here at FOWD. Take a look at the slideshow below, or check out my Flickr set.

As we speak only photos I could Bluetooth to my phone have been added, will upload some more from my More photos added from my minimo later!

I've been looking for a decent HD camcorder since January after seeing a number of offerings from both Toshiba and Samsung. Samsung's DMX-R10 looked like it was going to win the battle, but with a US release date for early May, I have yet to see a European date and that pushes me too close to the honeymoon to allow me to wait for it.

My next choice, up until this morning, was the Toshiba Camileo P30 which is a small form, full HD (1080p) pistol grip camcorder that was well priced for it's feature set. However, some reviews have put me off and I am now looking at the Toshiba H20 instead. A more traditional looking camcorder that has a similar ability, but the following example on YouTube has really put this at the top of my list.

If possible, please watch these videos in HD!

After a bit more research, the P30 wasn't far behind, but the quality difference is enough to make me stump up the extra cash:

Not sure when I'll be getting either as I have to sort some finances out, but hopefully I'll be posting some test footage soon!

So I finally got home after a little detour and distraction from a friend!



I'm really pleased with the Touch and can't wait to get more use out of it. Videos look great, music sounds great and I have found a few key apps.

Twitter makes so much more sense from a mobile device.

You can check out my Flickr set of my un-boxing but I hope to have a slide show up and running here in a day or two!

I wrote about Casio's EX-F1 hi-speed, hi-def camera. I would love to have the ability to record in super-slow motion, and with one of the cameras in the Exilim range, that would be a very real possiblity.



This new camera, the EX-FH20, looks to be more compact and maybe more of a little brother than an upgrade, but it still packs a punch with up to 1,000 fps and HD quality video.

Along with a Blu-ray player, this could very well be the only piece of gadget pr0n to make it on to my wanted list!

I've been back from my summer holidays for almost 3 months, but I just never took the time to get my Fisheye photos developed!

They're now all available, along with some photos taken with a standard lens and some taken with a wide angle lens on my Nike D70, in my Spain '08 Flickr set.



I've created a new holiday collection which I'll be grouping my holidays into. I believe there are some other rogue holiday snaps from Las Vegas and Amsterdam, so I'll be sorting those out soon too!

I am a regular veiwer of Tekzilla, a technology video podcast. Tekzilla has introduced me to quite a few things, but none I've embraced so quickly as camera tossing.



It may sound dangerous and in some ways it is! As Patrick Norton suggests, maybe try this with a budget camera if possible. I've only tried it with my Nokia N70 so far and with relatively short throws.

The purpose of camera tossing is to throw, or toss, your camera while it's taking a photo. The rapid movement means even relatively short exposures cause streaks to appear across the photo. Results vary and from my own, short, experiences you can't know what the results will be
