Radio Times – Christmas Day 2013
Here’s my sort-of-annual guide to what’s on TV and radio on Christmas Day – as seen through the pages of my annotated Radio Times (as very slightly featured in #6 on this Buzzfeed list). Click on the pictures below to go fullscreen. Flickr has changed the way they do things recently, and that’ll take you…

Video Snippet
While a massive storm rolls across the country, I spent the day editing video. Here’s another snippet of something that’s coming soon. Have you ever seen a murmation of starlings? Well here’s what happens when they gather on a water tower. Starlings on Water Tower near Blythburgh from Adam Bowie on Vimeo.

A Digital Radio Future
This morning, I was in the BBC Radio Theatre at Broadcasting House along with several hundred colleagues who work for broadcasters, regulators, hardware manufacturers, car manufacturers and assorted others to hear Ed Vaizey, Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries, stand up and talk about the future of digital radio in this country. The event…

Suffolk
I recently spent a few days in Suffolk. My camera was never far away. This is an Exposure gallery of some my photos. Just playing around with the new photo publishing system. I think it takes work to get it right. And here’s a taster of the video I shot while I was there. Slow…

Ashes Highlights This Winter
Returning to a familiar topic, I note that there are no Ashes highlights on Channel 5 this winter. Instead they’ll be broadcast on Pick TV – Sky’s free-to-air channel available on most platforms including Freeview. They’ll be broadcast nightly at 10pm, just before play begins the following day. Live coveragewill of course be on Sky…

BT and Champions’ League Football
I must admit that like many others, I was surprised to learn over the weekend that BT had bought all the Champions’ League live TV rights exlcusively. At a stroke they’ve knocked both ITV and Sky out of the picture starting from the 2015 season. I’m going to try to unpick the subject a bit…

Kite Aerial Photography #2 – Trent Park in the Wind
A few weeks after my first failure to get a camera airborne, I had another go in a local park. This time there was enough wind. But I was faced with a different problem – too much wind, and too gusty! The kite went straight up without a hitch. But the next problem was really…

Kite Aerial Photography #1 – Not Very High in Norfolk
For a while now I’ve been wanting to try something I’ve read about for a long time – Kite Aerial Photography. The idea is that you send up a kite, and from it you hang a camera that you set to somehow take photos while it’s up there. This is a record of my first…

Woods
Woods from Adam Bowie on Vimeo. This video is a little different. It’s an analogue affair in a digital environment. What you have is a black and white Super 8 film (Kodak Tri-X) with a Korg Monotron-Delay soundtrack that has been multi-tracked. As I say, it’s a little “experimental” for me.

Rapha Super Cross – Ally Pally
Lots of fun to be had watching the cyclocross at Alexandra Palace yesterday. I took a ridiculous number of photos, and cut them down to just 138 which are in the slideshow above.

Radio 1 Listening by Age – A Closer Examination
One of the things that I noted in my Q3 2013 RAJAR summary was that Radio 1’s average age was just not shifting. And despite an overall fall in audience over recent quarters, notably following the departure of Chris Moyles, it just hasn’t fallen. I thought that this was worth exploring some more, because I…

Yellowface/All The Lovers In The Night
Yellowface by R F Kuang I first came across R F Kuang with last year’s very enjoyable Babel, an alternate history of the British Empire told in a world where magic exists and is controlled by an elite group of individuals. Yellowface is very different, but no less enjoyable. It’s a book about books, and…
