What stands out to you about the picture? is it the top of the spinaker missing in the low cloud base? Or, is it the bird? I’d read somewhere that getting a bird into your picture nearly always improves it. Is that the case here? I have to be honest and say that this wasContinue reading

1912 – Embarrasing or not?

I thought I had a Facebookpost lined up, but it has not happened. Not quite sure why. I’d lined it up to be about my attempts at street photography using this door as a background. The picture above is not the result I was looking for. What I wanted was sommebody in a blue coatContinue reading “1912 – Embarrasing or not?”

1911 – Making Smoke

I saw this boat on Tuesday, it really was kicking out a lot of smoke. I wrote on Tuesday about the Gilbert White letters, and have now read his Letter No. I, addressed to Thomas Pennant doesn’t have a date. So I googled to find that the letter was never posted and indeed was writtenContinue reading “1911 – Making Smoke”

1910 – Didn’t walk – Rain!

It has been raining all day. I haven’t been out for a walk, but I did a couple of journeys in the car. Elayne & Aurora went to the house of one her Dancing Group friends for lunch. They do this every month, and last month for the first time I was able to joinContinue reading “1910 – Didn’t walk – Rain!”

1909 – On the Street, at the Camera Club

Let’s get the Camera Club out of the way first; Tonights competition was an open for our group (no set topic) The header picture was one I took at the market in Salisbury when we went as the club last month. Whilst I didn’t get an award, I did get a 9/10 which I amContinue reading “1909 – On the Street, at the Camera Club”

1908 – Gilbert, Geese and other things

I’m supposed to be reading the Gilbert White letters. I’m starting at the beginning, with letter 1, rather than working on the dates of the letters. Apparently, he was a bit more subtle than that, as I thought I should. So, I have the delight of reading this Afternoon. I am disappointed that I didn’tContinue reading “1908 – Gilbert, Geese and other things”

1907 – Monday

In yesterday’s post about the week ahead, See here; https://bit.ly/1906_What_To_Do I didn’t write about today, Sunday. Mind you, I’ll be honest the weather meant that there really wasn’t much to write about. On Sunday, we try to map out the meals we are planning for the week. This then allows us to build a shoppingContinue reading “1907 – Monday”

1906 – What to do?

It’s a general question; What to do? I guess this is a bit of a look forward to next week. But before I do that, I just briefly want to talk about last night’s post, which was a rather incoherent way on my part, of saying that I want to do more street photography, thatContinue reading “1906 – What to do?”

1905 – What type of Photography?

I’m making an assumption that you have an interest in photography. But what type? It could be that you have a fairly recent phone that has a reasonable camera, which you only use for family or holiday pictures (which is absolutely fine, I am definitely not criticising – I’m willing to bet that you haveContinue reading “1905 – What type of Photography?”

1904 – A Gosport Shed Day Out

Today was my first trip out with the Gosport Shed. The Expeditions Manager, who does a grand job, had organised a trip to the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm Museum, which is located at the Royal Navy Air Station (RNAS) Yeovilton. I have to admit, this is a place I have wanted to visit forContinue reading “1904 – A Gosport Shed Day Out”
