I had got well wrapped up but I didn't have any gloves and as the sun started to rise I'd been there ages and I was cold so I gave up. I did take a pocket warmer but it was burning my leg as I took one of those longer exposure pictures and the battery went flat very quickly, so it wasn't a great success maybe because I'd charged it up 6 months ago and then put it away. Next time I'll charge it up the day before going out.

I would have liked to have stayed for the sunrise as it was very nice at home.

As soon as Autumn comes along, I put my gloves, snood & woolly hat in my main Sony camera bag for 6 months :)
 
I've usually not been a big one for wrapping up, I did Kazakhstan at -21 in jeans and a T shirt and made the locals laugh :D but I'm getting old now :D
 
Several years ago, I was wandering along the canal path at Long Buckby Wharf, when I came across this Israeli flag fluttering in the Northamptonshire wind. I still have no idea what was going on but I recorded it with the R1, just to remind myself that I really did see it...

Settlers with low map-reading skills?
 
I've been a but busy recently so haven't read every post here so sorry if I missed this but have we done Merry Christmas already? If we have... Carry On :D but if we haven't can I just say...

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful time :D

Mrs WW is unfortunately delayed abroad. She was meant to be back at the end of October but problems intervened and then she was due back last Monday but again she's been unavoidably delayed and will we hope she'll be back sometime in January. I was hoping for a quiet Christmas day... Bangers, mash and lovely thick gravy and some mint source for dinner and a nice glass of cider but instead I'll be entertaining someone from church who would otherwise be alone and Christmas dinnerless so I'll be doing a full (Vegetarian) Christmas dinner for them.

Anyone getting aby exciting toys?
I bought myself some watches and Mrs WW has three present bags full waiting for her as she's missed her birthday, our wedding anniversary and now Christmas. I keep looking at that Voigtlander 28mm f1.5 in Sony mount and I might treat myself but Mrs WW very strangely has no interest in camera lenses.

Merry Christmas ALL! :D
 
Isn’t the A9 III selling very well? It’s already £800 off at Wex and £700 off at other stores :oops: :$

It’s been out a while pretty normal for it to drop in price by now would have thought.

Much bigger drop on the A7RV from 4k to 2.85k in the U.K.

They all drop eventually. O.G A9 dropped over a grand in less than a year. Early adopters always get skinned.

Well i was going to get the A1mk11 for Xmas but i'v seen a couple of reviews where the focus can at times miss, now this is most likely due to how it was set up but as it's early days yet it has made me want to wait for now just until there are more opinions on it.
and happy Xmas to you.
 
I like my new Canon printer. The Epson was good when everything went well but this Canon is at least for now just so easy and nothing has gone wrong yet. I keep printing things now but how many framed prints on the wall is too many :D

It’s only too many when you’ve filled the wall Tetris-style ;-)

I keep looking at spaces :D

Other News. It's a lovely day here but I haven't got time for photography today. I did take some pictures yesterday with my Voigtoander 35mm f14. I haven't used that lens for a while and it felt like coming home. It is IMO a really nice lens with just a couple of issue to be aware of.
