Hi, a green finch in the hawthorn bush (the squirrels don't come ...) :

 

[Carpy2001]

Playing with focal lengths, still trying to see what things look like (instead of just using max zoom all the time), this was taken at 14mm the shortest focal length I have, using the Olympus 14-42, f3.5-5.6 ez.

Sowton Mill, Exeter. I worked here for a short time in the 1970s. Recorded on a Panasonic FZ82 with the lens close to full zoom...

A dog walk ,Smoke Alley Cottages in Highley Shropshire ( I always think the name sound like something from a Harry Potter) I couldn't quite get the angle I wanted without including a car.

10 year old battered smart phone.

Hi, on my way to Schwelm/D (OLYMPUS PEN-Ep1 - Panasonic 1,7/20 (15 years old)) :






Schwelm, used to be a prosperous industrial town. De-industrialized (i.e. poor) now :






The cemetery :






Flowers on my parents' grave :






Rolling home ... :

Ashton court in Bristol. The young stags are getting lively but the older ones are just chillin' about. The last deer in the pictures is foaming at the mouth. Meanwhile people were encouraging their young children to go up to the deer.

Over the lake with a Togger mate Saturday. Nice to chat gear and just shoot what came along.

Hi, cooking ... (SONY A7R2 - FE 1,8/35) :

 

[Erty]

It was going great until I slipped on some slimy rocks, ended up flat on my back and messed up a lens in the fall.

Hi, at the SHELL station :






My dear old S needed a shine :






Across the street there is an ARAL station. But fuel is more expensive there, and the car wash is less well maintained :

[Crotal Bell]

The Monday journey home and a usual first stop with a difference, the farmer was harvesting the crop and tractors were rumbling in and out of the fields constantly, there must have been a fair old number of people and vehicles involved as these three were taken within minutes before I headed down the road.
Hope they got a lot off before tonights rain.




Then a stop at St Marys The Virgin Church, Cardington
The architecture of St Mary’s is entirely modern in church architecture terms having been effectively rebuilt at the turn of the C20. The original C12 church was of considerably different design to the current building. The most striking difference between the old and new is the location of the tower. In the original building this was centrally placed but was one of the primary causes of the rebuilding as it was in danger of collapsing. The rebuilding work was largely paid for by the Whitbread family and whilst some features of the old church were retained, the current building effectively dates from this rebuild between 1897 and 1902.



Finally All Saints Kempston for the theme photo for my 52 in 2024. Week 33 Song title or lyric - I decided on my favourite gravestone and the song "Angels" - this one wasn't the chosen pic but I like it. First time using Monochrome on the Pana G80.

Took the camera on my "MOT walk" this morning, not exactly an exciting area.


Securely locked



Sun was on my left, overexpose by 2 stops and burnt out the buildings etc in the background, then adjusted in Affinity.



Can tell it is near university accommodation, whole row of takeaways and pubs




Good thing is the car passed, 18 years old now and never failed yet

Apparently, Witch Hazel is unusual in that since the fruit can take a very long time to mature, you can have both flowers and fruit at the same time.

Hi, plowing ... :

 

[swanseamale47]

Went to check out an old farmhouse, but it was a non-starter, all overgrown. I could hardly see the thing. Got these random shots instead.
Canon 6d2 and Canon 24-85mm

 

[Clive K]

Another dog walk with the Leicasonic V-Lux. When I got back I started playing around with mono conversions using the Silkypix program.

Remnants of an old mill.......





Steps up to the woods....
