I really don’t know how I managed to get a slightly out-of-focus picture with the Nikon, obviously a bad shutter / aperture combination. Anyhow, this is where Heath Robinson paid a visit today. The picture shows my attempt to get a kind of Head-up Display. On the phone, the plan is to have Stellarium running,Continue reading “1927 – Sorry – Stargazing with Heath Robinson”

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?”
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”
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?”
1902 – Camera Club
Tonights camera club meeting was a members’ night. That means we did our own thing. As it happens, three members of the club had done setups where other people could practice a particular photographic exercise. Colin’s piece was a kind of still life. I say kind of, because it did involve the smoke of aContinue reading “1902 – Camera Club”
1899 – A Routine
I haven’t looked back through my blogs since I retired, but I am sure that I will have written about this since then. That is a routine, or lack of one. I am increasingly finding myself frustrated by not having a routine. See the number at the top of this post – 1899? Over 5Continue reading “1899 – A Routine”
1897 – Photography
I have been giving my photography and approach to the subject some serious thought of late. There is (in my eyes) a slight technical problem – I know a poor worker will blame his tools, and I’m not blaming the tool, I’m blaming my ability to use them correctly. The issue I have with myContinue reading “1897 – Photography”
1840 – It’s that day
I’ll tell you about the photograph towards the bottom of this post. Today, was one of those signpost days that most people experience – I retired. I went to work this morning, but it really wasn’t a normal day. I had a chat with my boss, and wished him goodbye. I had already had similarContinue reading “1840 – It’s that day”
1830 – A trip to the Island
I promised myself that if a bus turned up within two minutes of my arrival at the bus stop at the bottom of our road, I would save myself a bit of time and get on. Something was working in my favour because I looked around just as I got there and stuck my handContinue reading “1830 – A trip to the Island”
1803 – A walk in to town
We had a walk in to town. For no other reason than to get out and about for a bit. We ended up in Cafe #1. I had a cup of tea with millionaires short bread, which is about the only time I like shortbread, with a thick layer of caramel and chocolate on top.Continue reading “1803 – A walk in to town”
