Today, I was on the monthly Shed Trip. The April trip was to the GWR Museum in Swindon. Unlike last month, the coach driver took us to the motorway via junction 9. It was a much quicker exit from Gosport. The trip to Swindon took about an hour and a half. I was a bitContinue reading “1979 – The Great Western Railway (GWR) Museum Swindon”

1978 – A Busy day
I got to the Gosport Shed just a few minutes before 11AM. Frustratingly, as I was walking upto the entrance, I had one of those thoughts, and after a quick rummage in my bag I confirmed that, yes, I had forgotten my reading glasses. I would have needed them to carry on working through theContinue reading “1978 – A Busy day”
1976 – Letter to Steve X
Gilbert starts his letter X by expressing his frustration that he has no local like-minded people with whom he can share his interests. Writing his letters to his two friends is as close as he gets to conversing with anybody who shares his interests. I found myself asking how long a normal exchange of lettersContinue reading “1976 – Letter to Steve X”

Today’s u3a session was Exploring Art. The subject we were talking about was “Family in Art”. This group is structured like most others, each member can prepare a small presentation or discussion point, or bring in an object to talk about, wach lasting say ten minutes on average. Today, there were enould people who preparedContinue reading “1971 – u3a & Camera Club”
1937 – Camera Club, U3A, No FB.
I got out of the house later than I intended this morning. Catching the bus down to the interchange. I paused at the waterfront I almost missed the Guillaum De Normandie completely, but was just able to see it go around the corner at the top of the channel. I had a quick chat withContinue reading “1937 – Camera Club, U3A, No FB.”
1927 – Sorry – Stargazing with Heath Robinson
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”
