Product on the beach shots = pain

Published by Ewan on Thursday 19th June 2008, 15:52 View Comments | Filed under: Desert Island Challenge, Mobile

I was out today in the midday sun, taking pictures of the various products we’ve been given to check out in desert island conditions. I wore a hat to keep the sun off and some long shorts, but I negated to think about my arms. They are, as a result of the prolonged exposure, not looking too good now. But the photos are pretty good.

I almost lost the MacBook Air to a freak wave. I had it perched precariously on the side of a set of stairs and it was nearly unseated by the momentum of a gentle yet thoroughly powerful wave (precariously, because it’s my own… I didn’t dare put the Dell Ultralight on the stairs).

I’ll be publishing a big gallery of images shortly. Meantime, here’s the Air:

… and a shot of the SMS Text News desert island (Conrad Rangali Island):

And what did you take those cracking pix with? Surely not a Nokia... Or was it something really chunky with Nikon emblazoned across it...?

(oh, and sorry to hear about the sunburn - limited sympathy though, given where you are!)

Ewan

It's a Canon EOS something or other, Mark. I needed something chunky to
look semi professional when I am lying in an awkward manner on the beach
photographing geeky things. You don't look so mad when holidaymakers walk
by staring at you.

MarkW

Ah - I thought they looked too good to be from a phone. Good choice of camera though, and you obviously know how to use it. I have three pro photographers in my immediate family and my pix still come out blurred. Grrr.

Ewan

Don't tell anyone Mark, but I often keep mine on the automatic mode....

"They are, as a result of the prolonged exposure, not looking too good now."

As they say on Fark - pics or it didn't happen ;)

James Whatley

Wow. I was originally going to comment on the first shot... and how it should be your new banner or something...

But then I saw the 3rd picture and my jaw hit the floor...

...Man I need a holiday.

AJ

You are evil. Pure evil.

Ben Smith

Oh yeah... it looks like a massive pain. I mean look at all that horrible sun ruining the pictures and the water? Well, it's just too clear and pleasant.

Now would you please stop messing about with your camera, go and sit in that chair and chill out for a bit!

I think I've just decided upon my next vacation location. Driving with the Guru - Maldives Style!

Ewan

How about Diving With The Guru, Ricky? I'll demonstrate shortly. I got the
underwater thingy for the Flip and it's ace.

Love the card shot - very arty, but other than that I basically hate you for rubbing our noses in the fact that we're stuck at work. Grrr!

Krystal

What was that sorry? You're permanently moving SMS Text News Towers there? and you want me to move over there too? Right! That's what I thought I heard! ;)

DanLane

That's what I heard too, some kind of desert island podcast studio or something. ;)

Ricky Chotai

I heard that someone wanted me to test blyk roaming in the Maldives? Roll on Thailand I say!!
