We keep a wind-up torch in the car. There used to be a battery torch but the battery was always flat on the rare occasions it was needed.

It might be where you are, but here it's grey cloud, cold wind, no birdsong and feels like winter! And I've got to walk the dog . Still, it might help to deal with the nasty smell that's wafting from her direction today...

On a cheerier note, the complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas on CD will be arriving today (allegedly...). It should keep me quiet for a long time.

Prioritise crimes where people have been/would be hurt? Or where lorries full of medical supplies are disappearing? Or where kids are being enticed to get involved in drugs? Or depraved adults are doing despicable things to children? Doesn't seem daft to me.

Anyway, perhaps if we each put as much effort into preventing theft as we are currently doing to prevent the virus getting us, there might not be so much theft to investigate. Come to think of it, at the moment there ain't going to be much theft from empty houses 'cos not many houses are empty and strangers are conspicuous.

Just a thought, folks, just a thought...

Who would have guessed it!!!

I think I heard that wren singing in a hedge yesterday... Nicely lit and photographed birds. The head of the wren is a bit bright, but perhaps it's acting as a lens and concentrating the light.

The composite image of the old glass seems to have worked, at least to my eye. Definitely worth digging out the old files!

Minimalism during today's walk with the dog and Q-S1+06. It's the surface of a footbridge. The sun was aligned with the flat, vertical bars that support the railings. I've photographed the bridge in various ways many times, but have never seen the shadows quite so narrow and sharply defined before.

The question is - do you prefer vertical or horizontal lines? Why? (It's the same picture, just rotated.)

Incidentally, I didn't see Nigelk's thread 'Blurring the Lines' until after the walk - minimalism in the opposite direction!

These are very good - impossible for me to pick a favouite, I'd probably change my mind next time I looked!

No. 9 is intriguing - it looks like superimposed images but they were all single shots. How did you do it??

Steve

Did anyone else in the UK forget to change their clocks last night...??

Impressive - I particularly like the hairy cress flower.

Perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised at the quality of some of the lenses from the 1940-50 era. Some optical equipment companies were making lenses that could pick out small detail on the ground from over 30,000 ft. Not for the amatuer photographer of course...
