eBay item info only in imperial units!
Sunday, 15 March 2009I was recently browsing SLR camera lenses on eBay, and noticed that there is a box providing detailed information about the item for sale. As well as more technical data, it provides important figures such as the physical size and weight of the lens: important if you are going to carry it around. Unfortunately, eBay [...]

Leicester Spring 2008 Graduates’ Review
Friday, 18 April 2008I received my copy of the Spring 2008 University of Leicester Graduates’ Review today, and was quite surprised to find my photo of Leicester Prison accompanying an article on TV and internet in prisons.
They have credited the photo to “http://jonathan.rawle.org/gallery/using/”, which is actually my page of terms and conditions for using my photos. At least [...]
Edinburgh photos online!
Sunday, 26 August 2007It’s nearly two months since they were taken now, but finally I have uploaded some photos from Edinburgh. I have taken some time to write a little about each image, as I usually do, so that they become a guide to parts of the city rather than purely a set of photos. With only three [...]
Beating the China Flickr block
Thursday, 21 June 2007As of earlier this month, the Chinese authorities appear to have blocked access to Flickr. More specifically, Flickr images are blocked, but the rest of the site (all the text content) is still available. The reason for the ban seems to be that some photos of the Tiananmen Square massacre were posted on the site [...]
Total lunar eclipse
Sunday, 4 March 2007The eclipse of the moon was visible from many parts of the world, but luckily occurred at a relatively sociable hour of the evening in western Europe.
I didn’t have my tripod, so the sequence of photos above were taken with the camera hand-held, making it impossible to take a long exposure during totality. But at [...]
My new Flickr gallery
Sunday, 13 August 2006I have now signed up with Flickr, to provide another way of sharing my photos. Later I plan to integrate my Flickr photos into the existing gallery on my website. In the meantime, I have uploaded a few new photos to my Flickr account of my trip to Diamond, and of the newly restored roof [...]
Changing Leicester photos
Saturday, 8 July 2006I have added a few new photos of Leicester, showing some of the current regeneration work that’s going on in the city.
Featured projects include the Shires extension, the Performing Arts Centre and St George’s Tower. I plan to add to the gallery from time to time, to include more projects from different parts [...]
I need more (mega)pixels!
Wednesday, 12 April 2006It’s nearly four years since I bought my digital camera. I chose the Canon Powershot A40, and at the time it was pretty much at the top of the consumer range of digital cameras, with two million pixels. The more “standard” model was the A30, with 1.2 million pixels, so two million seemed a huge [...]
