Today, I heard the most dreaded word known to a production professional.
Reshoot.
But, later in the day, a silver lining appeared; the Canon C300 has arrived, and I’ll be using the reshoot as an opportunity to test drive this camera, something I’ve been waiting to do since January.
The nightly laser light show.
ISO 800, handheld.
Random photographs of Shanghai I took with the Sony α NEX-5N I bought two days before the trip.
Looking at these photographs, I can tell I was yearning to go back to basics. I didn’t have a story to tell. I didn’t have anything—a mastery of exposure, eagle-eye focusing, et. cetera—to prove. All I wanted was to take photographs, and to relish once again the process of taking my time to observe a scene, getting into the right spot for the right angle, and then waiting to capture the right moment.
And to be happy while doing that.

Fly away.
Click on the Polaroid to see the photograph in full size (as you can with all the rest in this series).
Yet another showflat shoot.
What better way to celebrate meeting a deadline than to sit down with a book and two pints?
He is, in other words, quite a geek.
