Even though the facts were well known, actually seeing physical which had only been pictured in books was quite something: like finding myself face-to-face with a real SR71 Blackbird at Duxford, seeing a Blue Streak and Soyuz craft at just an arm’s length really brought home the fragility of the craft, not to mention the exceedingly friendly terms you need to be on with your fellow astronauts when cooped up in the main Soyuz pod. https://minimal.org.uk/gallery/rosie/ Mon, 01 Apr 2013 16:53:18 +0000 https://minimal.org.uk/gallery/rosie/ Rosie https://minimal.org.uk/2011/09/11/glenfiddich-and-the-x100/ Sun, 11 Sep 2011 19:58:58 +0000 https://minimal.org.uk/2011/09/11/glenfiddich-and-the-x100/ So having previously raved about how discrete the X100 is and how good it can cope with low-light, here’s a few shots from a recent trip around the Glenfiddich Distillery (no, I’m not linking as they have a stupid age limit on the web site, despite the fact that both my currently under-18 children were welcomed on the real tour with no problems at all). Web-idiots aside, the tour was fascinating anyway: it’s something that should be experienced rather than watched as the range of smells, sounds and temperatures as you are taken through the various stages of the process was quite unexpected.
