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 – Hanbury Hall
Today I wanted to test out the Nikon AI-S lens with the Fujifilm X-E2. Mrs M and I went to Hanbury Hall in Worcestershire and had a wander around the lovely house and gardens. As I said yesterday, the Nikon lens through the adaptor on the X-E2 would have no electrical connections whatsoever, so everything … Continue reading Out and About – Hanbury Hall
Fujifilm to Nikon lens convertor
I have an old Nikon AI-S 50mm f/1.8 lens that must be twenty years old that I sometimes use with a reversing ring with my Nikon DSLR’s for close-up work. One of the good things about the Fujifilm X-E2 that I recently bought is that with the aid of a convertor you can use various … Continue reading Fujifilm to Nikon lens convertor
Out and About – Magpie Mine
Today some members of S13 and I headed for Derbyshire in search of some of Britain's industrial past. We started at the Magpie mine a disused lead mine dating from the 1700's. To say shooting the mine on this particular day was challenging is an understatement. When we left the Midlands the temperature was about 13 … Continue reading Out and About – Magpie Mine

Today I was in Worcestershire just outside Bromsgrove visiting the Avoncroft Museum. The museum is home to over 30 different historic buildings that have been rescued, dismantled and debuilt in 19 acres of countryside. I took the D800 and the 50mm f/1.8 standard lens with me today, as I thought that I would need the … Continue reading Out and About – Avoncroft Museum
Out and About – Stowe
It was off to a favourite haunt today as I headed south to Stowe Gardens. It was a bit of a last minute choice as I realised that it was half-term week here in the UK and the schools were on holiday. That means virtually everywhere is going to be over-run with parents, baby-buggies, pre-teens … Continue reading Out and About – Stowe
Out and About – Stratford On Avon
The basin in Stratford today was frozen over. The commercial barges that lay at berth were locked in by the ice and the ever-present ducks and swans looked bemused as they ambled about wondering why the water which hitherto they had floated on, had gone hard. The sun was bright, and obviously showing-off, but it’s … Continue reading Out and About – Stratford On Avon
Out and About – Black Country Living Museum
Today I was in Dudley at the Black Country Living Museum. A great place where you can see how people lived and worked in the Black Country from the start of the industrial revolution. The museum recreates a black country industrial town of over a hundred years ago over 26 acres, which include shops, houses, … Continue reading Out and About – Black Country Living Museum
