On a mission

If you get a chance, go visit Mission House studio here
 

stuff wot I did

 

footie

I really don't care for the game. Not even up here in the far north west where the season is in the summer. I might, however, go along to snap up the watching punters.
 

rock and soft place

 

Yes, I quite like this in a funny sort of way.

I won't do it again so don't worry.

Keith on his turf

 

Yes, he is being a good boy since his little 'holiday' since you ask.

Horse

 

This is a horse. Three horses as it happens. They usually live just round the corner from here, 200m away. I think they are pals although the little one does very little while this white one and tother one get to go out to play from time to time.

I snapped them up with a Chroma double glass 24mm lens which if I'm honest I don't get on with. Now, if any of you would like to purchase this L39 screw lens, please let me know.

we're back

 

Sorry for the delay but life ..etc.

Keith the cat went on a little trip without telling us for a couple of days then turned up in the next village 4 miles away across the moor. He must have hitched a lift with a delivery van since he has no bus pass then asked homeowner there to post his visage on faceplant to let us know [roughly] where he was. We rushed down in the dark last night and he meekly came when Eve called - drenched as it was raining. He's home now, safe and well fed.

Eve on the other hand has been excelling again winning another lawn bowls competition, this time on proper grass. but goodness wasn't it cold that first evening.

I've not been doing much

 

a place in time

 

wall fever

 

look, trees

 

forgive me for I may have sinned.

 

I am concentrating on The Big Event today. It's on all day so I may consume some snacks and drink plenty of tea and should at the images too. 

Please don't call me or on me as I'll be all involved and everything. I mean I am sure you will be enthralled as well with the first stage of the Giro D'Italia - a team time trial no less. If you haven't seen such a thing before, track it down and have a look as there is precious else happening today

it slopes

It's ok, it is Shawbost. it's like that there.

That lane, the one we were walking on is just lovely. There's a nice beach at the end - if you like that sort of thing but the majesty of the place are its walls. Dry stone, ex-fanks and homes. the snap here doesn't do it justice. perhaps I should have made it blurry.

 

over tother side of rock

 

I might like to go back there

 

Spring stroll

 

No it is NOT

 

Not digital. Wash your mouth out with soap and water.

No idea why I got this but rather like it. A mere semi-masterpiece. 

Old camera, old film, old camera-ist and all.

Minolta

 

For some reason I have always liked Minolta cameras. Many years ago last century I had a Minolta XG of some sort. No idea where the thing went but I seem to recall it went to South America with me just after us westerners discovered the place. I have a print some llamas in the Atacama which probs was taken with that thing.

Needless to say, in my dotage I decided a while back to have a minolta of my age so ended up with a Minolta A3.  Black on White brought the thing back to fine fettle and even using Polypan-f rated at 25asa I can can take a fine-ish snap up here in the far north west of the UK

have you seen this?

Another masterpiece from me using a fine little Olympus XA on out ill fated trip down south to Glasgow. Were meant to be going further south but the company we were meant to be travelling with cancelled at the last moment.

The camera is a fine little thing and loaded with old old Polypan-f film does a fine job.
 

Obbe

 

From a little trip out the other day. Since you are not asking let me tell you this was taken using a Zorki6 and Chroma Double Glass lens - the latter I am not sure I altogether get along with. Perhaps it's because I am not sure what I am doing with the snap taking any more. Perhaps it is that.
