The shot is nicely composed and lit too. Nice to know the background to this. Would advise cueing the interviewee to answer in more depth and include the question in their answer so you don’t have the off-camera audio of the interviewer.

[...] St Paul’s Cathedral – as you can very clearly see in the picture – is lit up by strong floodlights. It is many a photographers subject for London night photography, because it’s prominent on the horizon, and contrasts well with a dark/evening sky. Indeed, it was a photo that caused outrage amongst a lot of photographers when BBC man Jeff Overs was stopped taking a photo of it, but thats another story. [...]

I’ll address this in another blog post, but quickly the #ff cult is for “Follow Friday’ – essentially, listing people that you recommend for others to follow, and on a Friday (Kind of a way of spreading contacts you made during the working week). However, there are many people who use it unwisely and just “#ff” everyone on their contact list. If they are interesting, I agree with spreading their Twitter handle regularly, but give a reason as well. Why I should follow someone should feature as heavily as the username. Effectively, give me a reason to want to follow them – the name alone doesn’t sell it to me, and I can’t be bothered to search through every single user bio all the time.

Wise words Andrew but can I add one extra thing? Try to follow a few people, even for just a while, that are OUTSIDE your interests. If you love sport, try a science tweeter, if you are a socialist, follow a Tory. If you are on a local paper, follow someone in a different country.

Andrew

Just read your blog about getting started on Twitter. All good sense and basic. One area that puzzles me – you might want to develop it – is the FF (or is it #FF ?) cult.

Not quite sure what it’s trying to achieve. I actually ‘unfollowed’ a couple of Tweeters who were clogging up my inbox with rgwie FF’s. What’s it for?
