I like

Yes yes it's an old snap with a touch of Fay Godwin I like to think. I like it for some reason.
Rodal Church if you don't know. Well worth a visit sometime I can tell you.

Italy. A while back.

October it was - warm enough / too warm in the day although the pool was less than hot.

Pease don't tell me the horizon is sloping!

Just go and look at your globe eh? See where I live and all that. Right on a curvy bit of the mappy thing. THAT'S why the horizon is sloping; it's 'natural'.

I must clean the car soon too. Looks like it's getting a bit dusty.

So, tell me where this is ?

And yes, I do know where it is.

I'm asking you!
Doh!

I am rather presuming there's someone reading this who has at least been in the UK !

There there

It's just a wall.

I'll be back soon all being well.

Cameras - proper ones

Do you know this site?

Oh, you clicked on that. Now you'll be gone for weeks and then drift back when you have no money left.

What ever you do, don't look here.

You know, I've wanted to visit Tokyo for some time. Possibly not this year though. Might to have to make do with getting to the mainland from here.

Mainland UK.

Well, that's another month of my life gone

It's another snap for my new series; The other way.

I like it.

Tuesday glass

Another on glass.
The style eh?
I must be getting old as this feels only a few years ago.
No idea who since you ask.
Wellington glass plate. Scanned.

It was a Baldi

I had it with me on a stroll from up there to over there - just round this corner here where I entered a cafe and had a coffee. And a fruit scone with jam.

The man was strolling too, with a dog. A white and black dog with a cold nose. the dog sniffed my troos, was suitably unimpressed and trotted on, followed by its human. This was that human.

Friday's effect

Another snap from the diminutive Ricoh500g I was playing withe recently.
It works. After a fashion.

Wall

See this wall?
So did I.

The Lido

Such a pity.
This incarnation of the Lido cafe closed almost as soon as it opened in Stormoway. Only managed to have one coffee in there before it was gone.

There's no shortage of places to have a cuppa mind. There's the cafe next door to this one - whatever it's called. The Bridge Centre - an excellent place; An Lanntair, Delights, Church Street cafe, the Woodlands, Co-op and possibly some others I've missed!

I shall have to frequent one of those today as I require humans to converse with to help drag myself out of negativity.

Provoke [ist]

You know of the provoke mag? No, then go and read about it here for example. Love some of this style. does something for me.

Makes me feel spring is maybe coming

It may have been Autumn when I snapped this snap.
The leaves were fallen yet the sun was shining.
I can feel it on my back right now - oh, might be too close to the stove!

Tuesday glass

Another from this gorgeous collection given to me by my friend Kate.
On glass.

Into the shop

I was playing around with this little Ricoh 500g I have - without a working meter and with a sticking rewind thing. The lens looks ok though - even when you run very old fogged HP5 though the camera then develop it in Foma Retro developer.

Tis a fine camera potentially although this one has too many issues to deal with. Not sure why I used it really.

On another note; the weather is nice here innit?

There again

Another snap from Keose. Mr Toots came along too only he had a bad back.

I have made a decision. I shall change the way I spend my day that way I may get to feel better. Do the same thing continually and nothing will change.

Keose

Nice place for a stroll around with a little camera and a Jupiter12 lens. some old 400 film I rated at 1600 and then over developed it in Foma Retro developer.

Keose; down here

Slides

I don't use this type of film very much. It is colour don't you know and I don't usually 'do' colour. Only I did when the leaves turned brown, the sun shone and I thought it prudent to fill the Bronnie with Fuji slide film I had.

Mr Toots sent it off to be developed for me and it came back to my possession the other day. I can't seem to get a decent scan though - even using the fine Vuescan software I have. Anyone got any ideas please?

If that isn't snow ......

Yes we had some snow. A little bit. Enough to cover the roads and the fields albeit briefly. I took some snaps of it like you do - the Minolta 505si came out to play so I didn't have to think too much - although when I needed to think to do plus 2 stops for the snow, I was blowed if I could remember what to press. I altered the iso instead and found the requisite button for the stops later.

The sun was shining this day, the day after the day after the other day. It often does that after snow and a bit of a blow like what we have encountered recently.
