Seriously, I've lost a great couple of photos of one of the last working Routemaster Buses in London. I took it a couple of years ago on a trip to London. Anyway, while trolling through the server I found these.
They were in a folder called "old floppies" which itself was in a folder of interesting stuff archived from the oldest PC in our house when it was retired 12 months ago (it just came back into service so everyone can have a PC).
These represent some of my oldest images in digital format. They were scanned at work on the company flatbed scanner. The oil rig is the only one that was digitally enhanced.
They actually looked great on my old 640x480 monitor, and they printed up nicely on the color laser printer we had at work.Of course they are very outdated now.
They all represent what used to be a typical month for me. The lightship is in Birkenhead, NW England. This was close to home, and my base office of Bootle.
The hovercraft is the Portsmouth/Ryde ferry. This was close to our Waterlooville office, where I spent a lot of time with system integration and field trials.
The platform was off the coast at Christchurch(?) at the end of the Solent I believe, within sight of the Isle of Wight. We had a system deployed there.
The Chinese Dragon is in San Francisco, which was just a dozen miles from our US office in San Leandro where I spent a lot of time on firmware development for components in the system.
