Incidents of Coronavirus (Apr 2021) fell up to March but are now steady or rising in some places in certain parts of England. Vaccination was going well but a shortfall in production across Europe is causing a slowdown in innoculation, and there are conflicts with the EU over supply and in the country over the possible side-effects of the AstraZeneca vaccine. There is also opposition to vaccination passports. Schools have opened and there are dates given for later stages of opening up. Since the March 2020 lock-down for Covid I have taken the opportunity to upload shots from before September 2010. In-between contemporary shots, I am uploading photos pre-SPNC, from the days of my old Olympus E-1/E-330/420. Not many are any good but the exercise has given me an opportunity to look back. One thing that has struck me is how limiting the effect of noise was when trying to take (very early) street shots at ISO 800 in relatively dark conditions. I still used zoom lenses quite a lot until SPNC and am glad to have been educated in the use of a wider angle lens.
