Able to shoot over towards Elsness today as the sun is veiled by cloud. It’s a thin day – thin grey light and a keen wind, set to strengthen throughout the day and top 80 mph gusts tonight. Both the dogs and I were happy to be indoors again after we set the rubbish for …

Pre-prandial
Difficult to choose my Blip today. We took advantage of the morning forecast and took the dogs out along Cata and on to Newark. Time and Tide were against us but we managed not to get our feet wet. I shot 80 frames, many with the intent of converting to mono – I was held …
Stormy Weather
Readers ([i]photographers[/i]) of a nervous disposition should probably not read [url=http://www.woolgathering.org.uk/2015/03/oh-for-the-quiet-life/]this[/url]. [i]Oh, yeah[/i] [i]Life is bare, gloom and mis’ry everywhere[/i] [i]Stormy weather[/i] [i]And I just can’t get my poor self together,[/i] Treacle is home with us but we don’t know for how long. His days are very much numbered – he has a mass on …
Faraway places, with strange sounding names
Briefly: been to town, brought Treacle home, found mammoth photographic disaster in my studio… it may be costly, even more so than the vet bill (which was large)
Getting Closer
This arrived in the mail yesterday just as I was getting myself and Treacle ready to go catch the ferry. Needless to say it is not yet out of its box but certainly am looking forward to trying it out. I know that it is a compromise but anything longer than this 200mm lens was …
Bus Stop
Treacle went for a ferry ride to the vet today. This is he, waiting at the gate for the Community Bus to collect us and take us to the ferry (we couldn’t take the car due to Rodent Incursion Damage) Unfortunately, Treacle has not come home with me this evening. He is having a little …
More of the same
Another chill but sunshiny day today. I had forgotten to get my anti-Rook device in after the bin man came yesterday so I grabbed my coat and mittens and the camera and walked down to the gate with the dog to get it back. I fitted the polariser again and tried dialling in a couple …
Monday Outlook 2/3/15
Sunny, not too much wind, quite chilly, tide around half way. Can no longer shoot towards Elsness as the sun is now in the wrong position at rubbish time. Took two sets of images today, having been inspired to dig out my polariser. This is “with” and I like the way that the clouds come …
Cause and Effect
After a very fine three course celebratory meal last night, we sat by the fireside and shared a bottle of malt, listening to some of our favourite albums and trying to come up with an all-time Top Ten. Some of us may have drunk more than others. At least one half of the team is …
Too much Feist for me
Treacle is a feisty feline. True enough he lost all of his feist last week but after a ferry trip to the vet and a couple of shots whilst he was there, he was soon returning to normal. Unfortunately those shots had to be followed up by daily dosage of an antibiotic suspension, administered by …
