All this reminded me that I acquired (from one of our members) a Kalimar f8/500 some while back. It's a loo -oong, thin thing, about 14inches unextended, thankfully with a tripod mount. I recall trying it and being very impressed with the results, if not with the rather difficult handling. I haven't used it since so I shall locate it and have another go with it.

I find that as more and more 'craft' beer appears the more it tastes of grapefruit. You might as well get some grapefruit juice and put a shot of vodka in it. .... Which reminds me, Mulled Wine. It's quite expensive stuff to buy in bottles BUT you can also get non alcoholic mulled wine (which is bloody awful stuff) quite cheaply from M&S. for example. Warm it up as directed and put a good slug of vodka in it. Awful to Excellent in one go!

These look quite nice but I hope you are well stocked up in your moorland stronghold. It looks mighty cold!

The only way you can get onto the deck with a tripod is to have the camera upside down! I find the current smartfone tethering in the K1 to be worse than useless and using a flucard in a K3 is just short of a joke. So unless they have really made some strides there will be another pile of useless tech gimmickry. (And what possible use is a few million ISO??).

The weather these past few days has been absolutely awful - so photograph it. Here are two that didn't go into the bin:

1. Overnight rain and a sharp temperature drop around dawn.

2. Or dismal fog - take your pick.

Looks like a variant on a shield bug but I've never seen one sporting a hairy underside.

No, I agree with you. It isn't a patch on the real thing Peter but those I referred to are not free. You pay for tickets and you thereby support the performers and the theaters concerned.

I had to put the lathe somewhere - the garage is full of cars!

Excellent suggestion to fire the flash with the test button. Never thought of that. Thank you all for your wit and encouragement.
