The Flybrary one of the sculptures in the Radical Horizons: The Art of Burning Man exhibition in Chatsworth Park
While on an annual holiday to The Lake District during the February half term, I set out to find this "hidden" old watermill in Borrowdale on one of two days where it wasn’t tipping it down with rain! I found the mill fairly easily with an OS Map and some scouting on Google Maps/Earth.
On reaching the mill, it promptly started raining! I persevered and the rain did stop. I managed to get a few shots whilst being careful not to slip on the wet, moss-covered rocks. It was worth the visit as it’s a beautiful old mill, which I'll no doubt return to.
The recent rain has brought out a number of slime mould fruits. This is wolf's milk and although one of the most common it is also one of the most striking.
Buff tip caterpillar in Epping Forest looking for somewhere to pupate - adult in top corner for reference. They are poisonous if eaten and I'm told don't smell so good - another deterrent to predators.
Another shot of Spurn Point Lighthouse on Spurn Head.
You can pay to go up the lighthouse; we didn't have time to do so on this trip though, as you have to be aware of when high-tide is! The end of Spurn Point is cut off from the main land at high-tide which can leave you stranded until the tide goes out again - there is a small shelter for you to wait it out in should you get caught out!
So, after four years with the iPhone 11 Pro, I finally upgraded this week to a 14 Pro, and this is the first time I've had a phone with a camera that can just about hold its own against a 'proper' camera.
With the ability to shoot RAW in the native Camera app, combined with the 48Mp sensor in the main 24mm equivalent camera, I'm finally able to take photographs which hold up to the sort of pixel peeping that was always found wanting with previous phone cameras.
By no means does this mean that I'll be shooting phone pics from hereon in, but at least it means I can get more 'keepers' if a situation presents itself when I'm without one of my main cameras.
I thought there was a great level of cloud cover today, makes a change from either plain blue sky or the blanket greyness which often dominates the skies in London ...
Chased these all over Sculthorpe moor and finally got a distant picture. It was a bit windy for them to be catching dragonflies.
Wandered down to the beach... with my camera.

I developed my second roll of film today - Kodak T-Max this time. It's so different to the last film... less contrast, slightly more grain. I've had to tweak the levels in photoshop, something I wouldn't have been able to do in years gone past :).
I think this shot is the best on the roll. I spotted the light here, and the child was a bonus. I had to take it quite quickly so I'm amazed it turned out. Especially when so many other frames failed, haha!
BTW, the light leaking from the left is because I overexposed the shot before. Getting the exposure right was definitely trickier this time around.
Thanks for looking. I promise to catch up very soon!

Went on a long walk, which involved a short walk up a big hill.

So I had a little fun with this one - adding a square crop and some toning. I'm surprised the flower was in focus, since it was blowing about in the breeze at the time!
Happy Sunday, everyone!
