I told you that lens is good

 

Maybe I should keep this to myself otherwise there will be panic buying and a shortage of Minolta A3 cameras and Polypan-f film. 

Oh, there is a shortage already?

Sorry about that.

I was using the Minolta A3 rangefinder camera

 

The 1955 camera has a nice Rokkor lens too. Can flare a bit but I like the thing. As I liked the fine cauliflower, broccoli and cheese pie with mash at this establishment on the mainland.

yes, we have been off island

 

But we are back now, rejuvenated.

Surprisingly so as it happes since we ventured along the ill-thought out NC500 to visit Lotti Glob through a pandemic of campervans. The roads there are jammed and falling apart from the pounding they are receiving. If we had known , I would not have gone although that would have meant missing out on Lotti's wonderful croft and galleries.

It's a bit like this

Reflection time

 

Still nothing much to say apart from I'm mainly shooting 35mm with the OM1n and Foma400 at the moment. Developed in Rodinal.

There they lie

So you don't have to go there

 

Unless of course you'd like some concrete blocks.

 Been a bit quiet on the writing front of late. Not that I've nothing to say just that what with all that is going on in the world, I didn't feel like saying anything much. However, a little local trip out and a chatette to John Maher, Nickolai and Beka Globe has restored a bit of positivity to my thoughts. Having said that we took off down the Luskintyre road on Harris for a look-see and saw what what didn't want to see. The place was heaving. Cars and motorhomes everywhere. Houses going up all over the place. We left quickly.

To the peats

 

Not that we cut them any more - not good for the environment and my health - and this wasn't the way to our allocated peats either.

We have them too
