Rain stopped play so looked back

It's raining so just been sniffing around *istD archives.


Looking down across Teesside from the North York Moors

Riders at Helmsley

I cut my film teeth with my K1000 and I cut my DSLR teeth with my +istD.


Just makes me smile looking at the diminutive screen on the *istD and the pure simplicity of minimalistic firmware and reduced menu options. None of which were available on my K1000 where you would have to wait until processing was complete before an image even appeared.

So glad that I shot huge amounts of film and more importantly, reversal film over the years and did all my own processing & printing. What do I miss? Cibachrome!

Best regards

...and what a nice selection from the recent past - particularly like the warm look of the riders shot, that cotswold looking stone and the low sunlight

A lovely day for photography. The cool tones of the first picture contrasting nicely with the warm tones of the next two.

Helmsley is always a good place to factor in on a day out. Plenty of great places to have a sticky bun and a cup of tea. Or similar.

I loved my K1100KT, shaftie, blue, smooth as silk. Seriously, I loved it. Heavy as a tank though. The weather could be a pain and eventually it caused me to give up my biker life. Last bike a Kawasaki VN 900 Custom. Loved that bike, chromed it like you wouldn't believe. Great memories.

I love these photographs. Thanks for reminding me.
