    I have a few days off on a photography weekend this weekend. We're off to the Farne Islands in Northumberland to photograph Puffins and the local area. Can't wait, just fingers crossed the weather holds out.

    So, I went to the Farne Islands. Come back with over 1600 photographs to process (so far i'm only happy with one. Then again, i only went for one.

    Ohh, and a terrific sunburn.

    LOL I read that as Fame Island, sounds more like an ITV reality show.

    I've been working on the water drop collision photography, experimenting with different backgrounds, colours and a couple of other things. One of these was making a solution of water and dissolved Xanthan Gum, then adding food colouring to the solution. The Xanthan gum thickens the water and gives a better collision effect. It's a pig to dissolve into water though, if you add it too fast it clumps and forms big lumps. The backgrounds for these images are simple colour gradients I printed off onto A4 and stuck onto a cereal box, which was propped behind the water container.

    I quite like the colours of the last one. I would however have cropped the image to centralise the water droplet where possible but well done with capturing the moment.

    Had some fun in the Farne Islands a few weeks back. Took over 1400 photographs over the weekend so it's been a pita working through all of the photographs. Here's my favourite so far.

    Doing some more work on thermal imaging. I have to say, I love what you can get out of a cheap (relatively speaking, anyway) thermal camera with a bit of effort in the post-processing stage!

    What are you using and how accurate is it?

    Flir C2 - which has since been superseded by the C3, which has identical specs except for adding built-in Wi-Fi. It's pretty accurate - or it was, when it was calibrated back in 2015, but I've not kept up with the annual calibrations. I point it at a boiling kettle every now and again, and it seems to still be okay!

    Very low resolution thermal sensor, though: 80x60. Good enough for a game of "where's the heat," but if you want something that'll go down to individual resistors look elsewhere (and spend ten times as much, of course.)
