It has been about a year since the last time I went to Birmingham and one ov the viewfinder.club chose the city for his photomeet. It's nice to know that with all the (good) changes that have gone in New Street Station, the actual train service itself is still pretty poor. Catching the train from … Continue reading Out and About: Birmingham City Centre

Out and About: Stow Gardens
A visit to Stowe gardens on Monday proved to be on one of the few decent days of weather in between all of the terrible rain storms we have been having in the UK and which have caused so many terrible problems in the north of England. In Buckinghamshire the sun was shining and for … Continue reading Out and About: Stow Gardens
Out and About: Black Country Living Museum
Today was a visit to the Black Country Living Museum. The last time I was there nearly a year ago, it had snowed and I got some very nice images. Today however there wasn't any of the white stuff although it was very cold and as the day went on it got even colder. The BCLM … Continue reading Out and About: Black Country Living Museum
Out and About: Multiple Exposures
After attending the talk by Nicki Gwynn-Jones I decided to have a bash myself at multiple images at Baddesley Clinton. The last time I did multiple exposures in-camera was when I was using film with Olympus OM-1 and OM-2 cameras many years ago. I wasn’t expecting any great shakes at the first … Continue reading Out and About: Multiple Exposures
Out and About: Earlswood Lakes
Today I was at Earlswood Lakes, Solihull with the Fuji X-E2 and the Fujinon 18-55 zoom lens. Although in the very early morning, the weather looked quite promising, by the time I got to the lakes, there was a chill wind and a sometimes moody sky that promised but did not give rain. There were … Continue reading Out and About: Earlswood Lakes
Out and About: Batsford Arboretum
I was at the very nice Batsford Arboretum today with a couple of members of the photo club. It started off pretty dark and overcast with some fog still sticking around the base of the trees. Knowing that light was going to be scarce, I took my monopod on the shoot, and I’m glad I … Continue reading Out and About: Batsford Arboretum
Out and About: Stratford on Avon
I was out and about in Stratford today, expressly for the purpose of testing the new 18-55 lens I had just got for my Fujifilm X-E2. It was a dreadfully dark monotone day. The kind of grey, lifeless and chilly day that Britain seems to do very well at times. As a result, camera shutter … Continue reading Out and About: Stratford on Avon
Out and About: Berkswell
I trudged across the fields of Berkswell today in an effort to get some foggy, autumn pictures. The fog was quite dense and the only noises piercing its sound dampening properties were the cries of the crows in the trees, the seagulls on the lake and the drip, drip of the water on the leaves of … Continue reading Out and About: Berkswell
Out and About: Baddesley Clinton
This was just a quick visit to the property today to get one of their sausage batches and to accompany a club member who was trying out a new standard lens on their Olympus OM-D E-M1 (can Olympus camera names get any longer or more complicated)? The weather was overcast and there was a spot … Continue reading Out and About: Baddesley Clinton
Out and About: Charlecote Park
Mrs M, Miss M and myself went for a walk this afternoon in Charlecote Park. There were quite a few people around as the deer herd was pretty much in evidence due to the rutting season. However I wasn’t well-equiped for wildlife photography as once again I went out with the X-E2 and the Nikon … Continue reading Out and About: Charlecote Park
