Playing around with a new lens. Felt it worked better in B&W than in color (hence the edit).

Preparing for the 30th Birthday of the Sinclair Spectrum (Monday 23rd April) I'll be off work for the day, playing retro :)

Microdrive! Fantastic. The problem I'm finding at the moment is a distinct lack of CRT TVs. These new-fangled digital ones are really very poor, not only is there an awful lot of macro blocking on supposedly superior digital signals it's almost impossible to use a speccy now. I am very upset. I need some converter pluggy type thing so I can use my 128K...
 
I've had this idea in my head for ages and I think this actually worked out reasonably well.

It's a shame there's no delete button for posts because then I could consolidate two consecutive posts in to a single post. That'll teach me to catch up on a months worth of posts in an hour or so.

Beautiful. Exposure, composition... I want to go there. So pretty that photo.

Mine for today: a bumblebee working what he can get from a tired pussywillow on a cold April day.

Continuing the Christmas theme "The Year Christmas Never Came" – I'm beginning to wonder if I need therapy...

I've got a few more of these planned in my head but I keep getting helpful advice from the little one about what should be in the pictures and so everything takes twenty times longer than it should.Yesterday I had to abandon things early when she decided to lick the 'snow' at which point she decided it was her turn.
She's remarkably good at finding every single Lego person she has and lining them all up. She also wants to take the picture, put it on the computer and then edit it too... I have a five year old who demands full creative control over the use of her Lego.
The basic scene ended up looking like the end of The Night Of The Living Dead, the zombie hunt part. I might have to use that idea... well, I would if I had some Lego zombies. For now though, Santa is having another bad day.
