There's a storm brewing!

Time for some shore leave!

O.K that will do for tonight let someone else have a go. I'm off to get that brandy. Have a good night everybody, not too much wine. Hugs

When the boat comes in!

Not a lot of money in this fishing lark.

Fishermen everywhere are all the same.

This lady can give you home made bread baked in the open and home made olive oil to dip it in. She can also give you food poisoning. BEWARE

Yes that's me pulling a bird on holiday

Good evening one and all

I saw your Group and like you I like takeing pictures. I especially like SLR and am getting into Digital. I have many pictures I wish to put onto my own blog, but I need to get to know how to use my blog first.

I look forward to further communications

With my warmest thanks and kindest regards

This is my adored Persian cat Oscar, now sadly gone, he was the most fantastic character ever and I miss him, this is one of the better shots of him

One of my favourite photos

Another of my palm leaf shots -I just think they make a fantastic abstract subject and can be quite 'arty' hope you like anyway

A friend of mine once told me the best photographic lesson he ever learned was on returning from a job, his boss was not happy with his efforts.
He told him that he should return to the job and this time don't just show how it looks, as the camera can do that, show me how it feels to be there, thats a photographers job !

Worth thinking about...

If it's grey and murky... go black and white

Half-click to auto-focus.....
Same shot, seconds apart, one locked on the actual phone, the other on the reflection on the screen!!
What a difference!!
Yes the weather is poor and I am bored!!!

Single groyne post from above doesn't this look like a face?

By popular request I show this penny of Edward the first dated 1205 and from the Canterbury mint but found near Loch Ness. This silver penny has survived wonderfully well in the earth ..... a ploughed field. Modern coins don't survive 50 years without being heavily attacked by chemicals and water.

Had this lurking on my hard drive, it is my mums back garden. It was wet and dull, was testing the camera and hey, it's got circles on it!!

Taken with my old Canon T50 film camera.

This is a wall near the beach near my house

Round and rusty - as I said on my blog yesterday I'm now seeing rust and circles everywhere!

Oh no not another obsession! BCUK has a lot to answer for!

I was asked as a result of the challenge to show what we find in the fields when out with a metal detector.

This silver coin of James 6th of Scotland James 1st of England is dated 1575 and is marked 68 old pence and called a Noble. Imagine digging it out of the ground after almost 500 years in beautiful condition !
