Particularly struck by how smooth it appears on this Mamiya/Sekor SX lens mounted on my Fuji XT3. Any more connoisseurs of blur?

Last night I plugged my memory card into my card reader, I popped it in the slot in the side of my laptop as usual. When I opened my files and chose Lumix, instead of entering the options to choose the pictures as usual, it said something like “disc needs formatting in drive E before it can be used”. I took it out and put it back in a couple of times but to no avail . When I followed the instructions obviously it warned me that formatting would “wipe the disc” and then it told me it... Read more

Accidentally stumbled into this idea when shooting a recce shot for an idea I had. Shot it in the morning to see what lens I might want, then shot the shot I wanted at night. Maybe it's because I'm unoriginal and I've ending up shooting the same sort of shots on my way to work as I am on the way back. Anyway, I thought that happy accident could turn into a series. Maybe. If I do continue, I think I need to work on my positioning. i.e. somehow marking the ground so I know where to get back... Read more

Well, I am on the sofa at the moment rather too much as I have just had an ACL reconstruction done many years after the original injury. Of course, this means I am meandering around photographic websites in between doing my physio prescribed exercises. No driving for another month... I run two systems and love them both. Canon FF and Olympus. Anyway, I heard today that my images did well in a club competition with subjects that are not my usual so I thought it would be a good thing to get... Read more

I bought a jacket online (not Amazon) and Evri was the courier. We were away when I received notification that it would be delivered the following day. I tried to delay delivery or use a neighbour without success. I then had an email to say it had been delivered with a photo of it behind our 6 foot side gate, showing the box damaged. I reported this to Evri who apologised. I phoned the retailer who stated that delivering to a safe place meant it was out of sight to the public. So it... Read more

So this week i headed down to the smoke with the wife to stay with friends in Kingston for a few days and to visit The National Archives at Kew. I went to view records of my late grandfather who after over a year research found he was in DEMS during WW2 (Defensively Armed Merchant Ships) basically putting Royal Artillery gunners on Merchant ships. The documents have not been digitised yet so inspection in person only and yep, he was in the box of 456 records i asked to view (F to G) he... Read more
