We went to Salisbury today. Our first port of call was the South Coast Photographic Federation Exhibition. The members of the federation comprise the 66 clubs. For the exhibition, each club selects 6 prints from its members for the display. I can’t really do justice here to the quality of the pictures on display. theyContinue reading “1533 – A moment in History”

Quite a while ago, I paid a visit to the Motte & Bailey near the Apple Dumpling Bridge in The Alver Valley. It went because I wanted to make a video of the site, but to be honest it was so feeble that I ditched it. I want to go back and try again toContinue reading “1532 – A re-visit is due”

Being Thursday, tonight was the Thursday Night Net held over the repeater on the Isle of Wight, with it’s connection to the internet, the turnout was pretty good including regulars Bill from Corona, California and Bob from Tennessee.

In Post 1530 https://localitystories.com/2025/01/07/1515-the-mad-rush/ I wrote about pictures we were putting together for a print competition at the Camera Club. The topic for our group was abstract. 1515 showed one for the two images that I had submitted. The header picture was the second one I entered. This one, I entitled uplift. I think withContinue reading “1530 – Uplift”

With myself. We got back from the camera club quite late (I’ll write about the club tonight) we were both tired and pretty much went straight to bed. I read my Queen Elizabeth I book (she’s just been given Mary’s death warrant, it sits on her desk unsigned) for 15 to 20 minutes, turned overContinue reading “1529 – Officially Annoyed”

I managed to get up and go for a walk this morning. I was rewarded when I arrived at the waterfront just in time to see the Spirit of Adventure, a very graceful 58,000 ton ship was gliding in very gently. Lovely to see. I paused for a couple of minutes to watch the shipContinue reading “1528 – Reflections”

To be accurate, the title words bear no relationship to each other, One begs a question; Does your cat do this? Sits at the door to the toilet, miaowing at you. You open the door, cat goes in, stands there miaowing until you sit on the toilet, trousers down (excuse the detail, it doesn’t happenContinue reading “1527 – Radio Cats”

I had bought a gadget through Amazon, when it turned up, I realised that it wasn’t quite what I wanted. I went onto Amazon and set up the return, which I have to say is very easy, and one aspect of the service that I find quite impressive. Anyhow, I had to take the gadgetContinue reading “1526 – A good Saturday”

It’s a picture of a bunch of exhausted pups at the end of the Tuesday evening photo session, they were looking seriously cute. The weekend is coming up. Not sure what we are going to do yet. We aren’t planning to go far though. Possibly in to town, to have a look at what isContinue reading “1525 – The weekend”

It’s kind of days because… I didn’t do a speak to the camera challenge yesterday when we were in london. To be honest, I had several opportunities when I could have said to Elayne that I wanted to do some videoing. Particularly when we had stopped next to St Botolph’s church. There was an openContinue reading “1524 – kind of 2 days”
