A couple here from February 1982 taken on the ME Super and either 50mm SMC-M 1.7 or the 28mm SMC-M f2.8.
The place is Haworth in Yorkshire. I used the K1 mk2 and DFA WR 100mm and played in RT.
Hopefully enjoy......

I couldn't bring out much detail of the tubes in this one, time was limited.

Yesterday evening at Jennycliffe, Plymouth, following expert's advice to see planets in alignment "the best time just after sunset".
Venus I believe appeared early, seen in the top right of my pic, it was freezing and SWMBO had enough at 18:40 (so had I TBH) so we left along with the majority of the hundred other people. A disappointing no-show of planets for us.
Here's a couple I took, played with briefly in RT, K1 mk2 and DFA 70-210 F4.

Hello all,


I just read the comment about the few entries for the pavement competition, which also seems to be a general issue.

Personally, the tradition of giving feedback or criticism on each photo can feel somewhat intimidating for a couple of reasons. One is that I have limited experience with photography and don’t feel entirely at ease (or perhaps even entitled) when critiquing the work of more experienced and professional photographers.

Exactly or rather the main obstacle as to why I have never joined in the competitions.

A record deck/player, ArgonAudio TT mkII, entry level but enough for me. After humming and arrrr,ing for over a year or two, I decided to have this as a new toy. Having kept back some lp,s from a tasked clear out years ago, I have 60 plus, some I'm looking forward to listening too, some err no.
Rainy day today when it arrived so it's been fun.
My old hFi is wearing well as the sound is great.
Cambridge amp and Mission speakers.

In this case, the lawyers are innocent. It's IT speak, not lawyer speak - the sort of thing that price comparison websites do to bring you the latest camera prices across the internet.

That's a new one on me I was in IT for 29 years (then retired early on my savings) and never heard that one!

I may have it wrong, but I read Getty are worried they have more work to do, in they have my work but I have Exclusive copyright, and the onus on both ,creator, and ,distributor, but it is they that spread it around. I cringed at their expression of ,scraping, - what a load of tosh, lawyer speak? Where would we be without Lawyers? Eh.
