Photographs #1

As we come to the end of 2016 I am reminded that although I have tried to maintain this blog as much as I can, I have gone for some periods of time this year without posting. I would like to do something about that. So, starting today, I am going to post photographs I … Continue reading Photographs #1 →

The best camera…

I was looking through some of my photographs the other day in particular the ones that had been in galleries and had sold quite well. What come to mind as I looked at them was that it didn’t matter what camera they were taken with, it was the picture that counted. The image below is … Continue reading The best camera… →

Out and About: Stratford

With the wet weather we’ve been having lately, it’s been very difficult to get out and about without having to get into scuba gear. Today though, the clouds cleared and we actually had sunshine, so I took a trip over to Stratford. I thought that though the water level of the river Avon may be … Continue reading Out and About: Stratford →

Out and About: Birmingham City Centre

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: 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: 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 – 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 →
