Fri, 10 August 2007 As our Summer In The City journey continues, we take one last look at the busy Oxford Circus before heading south down Regent Street. We pass several well-known stores (including the fabulous new Apple store - a must-visit for all Apple computer / iPod / Apple TV / iPhone fans!). Its great seeing all the people in Regent Street milling around, window-shopping; some laden with bags, some noticing the camera and trying to seek attention! All too soon we are at Piccadilly Circus, famous for its Statue of Eros and also the great advert hoardings, most now digital movie screens which the camera lingers to watch for a while. Just as we turn back for one last look at Eros, I suffer sudden battery failure! The camera tries a couple of time to capture more footage but in vain as video of Piccadilly Circus is replaced dramatically with a TV test card! Ok... a bit of artistic licence to advertise the launch of the forthcoming HD 1080 service but I did actually suffer sudden battery failure which explains the very short episode this week and the drop in pictures at the end of this episode. Yes HD video picture lovers, message received: its back to the original Sony lens and that tripod-based 'locked-off and look' from next week...! Comments[0] |
