gathering it all together
We were to be going to town today and last night I packed a bag with all the necessary: money, credit cards, Tesco vouchers, shopping lists, knitting, phone, camera… I packed the Nikon P510 for portability. I made sure that I had charged it up and put an empty card into it. This morning Mr …

Overnight frost – the first this winter! There were ice puddles to be cracked on the way down with the bin bags this morning – but the sun was shining and the sea was flat calm, with no wind to chase the waves. Too beautiful today to be confined in a windowless room, so I …
I was lucky to spot the 48 on this label when we had our Biryani on Saturday, otherwise I may have been stumped today. Not sure what will happen tomorrow as I have to go to Kirkwall. I may blob. That would be a shame. Perhaps i can grab a shot outside the scheme of …
A large portion of the day has been spent in wrapping my grey matter around the pairing of my new camera with various devices. I have a remote shooting/viewing wi-fi-connected app now installed on both the smartphone and the tablet and the special utilities on my PC are up and running and communicating nicely. It …
[i]I walk 47 miles of barbed wire, I use a cobra-snake for a necktie, I got a brand new house on the roadside, Made from rattlesnake hide, I got a brand new chimney made on top, Made out of a human skull, Now come on take a walk with me, arlene, And tell me, who …
We were woken early by the unexpected arrival of my new lenses. We get two courier deliveries a week: Wednesday and Saturday and usually at lunchtime. Wednesday parcels come at 12:30 and Saturday they come at 13:10. This predictability of delivery is one of the side effects of living on a small island. I’d hesitate …
Playing with both the low-light capability of the 6D and also my new Tamron lens. 46 seemed to offer little inspiration today, though I was keen to use a [url=http://www.rsc.org/periodic-table/element/46/palladium]Palladium (Pd)[/url]tone, if I could (I failed in that mission) This Day in History proved more interesting. It was Decimalisation day in 1971. I remember it …
I’m still spending a lot of time in an install-fest on my rebuilt computer. A large chunk of today went in [url=http://www.blipfoto.com/entry/3997368]creating my 365 shot[/url]. I was left without inspiration for my blip, again. Have some blur. This is an experiment with a slow shutter speed and a dangling amber pendant. It doesn’t look like …
If I had a stack of 45s, then obviously I would have shot them today. I no longer have any vinyl singles so instead I present a little something for Valentine’s Day – a clichéd derivative. I may shoot this again later when there is less ambient light around, see if I can get a …
The International Dialling Code prefix for the UK is, of course, 44
