The Wasp Factory - Title sequence

A title sequence for a 'never-to-be-made' movie of The Wasp Factory - probably better than the movie would be anyway. By prawncocktailpirate

Excerpts from The Bridge performed by Gallon Drunk with a movie background - makes you want to read The Bridge again! By sugar02139

Long exposure experiment #05

The last in this series, for the time being anyway. I took around 120 shots, and it's hard choosing from so many.

These night time shots were all taken through the windscreen of our tourbus as it plunged into and out of tunnels in Switzerland.

I was attempting to rotate the camera through 360 degrees per exposure, whilst keeping the lens pointed straight ahead. Mix that with some random crash zooming, plenty of fine Swiss beer, over expose by two stops and Bob's your uncle. I really enjoyed taking these!

Found on the train this morning, with a little sticker inside saying it's from bookcrossing.org here, in fact.

I will look forward to the inventiveness and galaxy-spanning action.

Inspired by The Culture.
If I should choose the ideal society where I wanna live, the Culture would be my first choice. No doubt.
