✄ La cura dei capelli in casa ai tempi del lockdown.
✂ Home hair care at the time of the lockdown.
Lockdown fun with my Granddaughter, a bursting water balloon shot at one sixteen thousandth of a second.
India is on a one day Lockdown today, 22nd March 2020. Narendra Modi, PM ordered this as part of the strategy to break the infection chain of the Covid 19 virus. Presumably more and longer Lockdowns are planned.
I find the best way to pass time is to take a macro of available stuff.
I found this half-used Red Cabbage in the refrigerator. Makes nice macro as well as salad!
A series of images created in the garden whilst negotiating lockdown, and isolation moves through Spring.
Being confined to my home and garden means I have to look both inward and outward for pictures. This was taken on a Panasonic GX8 with the 12-60mm Leica Panasonic zoom. I only just about managed to keep the main flower in focus.
This picture is almost straight out of camera, except for a couple of edits: A small amount of extra sharpness and a soft vignette. I start to shoot with Cinelook picture profile from VisionColor: vision-color.com/products/picture-styles-canon-eos/
With lockdown lasting seemingly for ever and to add to that my recent injury where I fractured my ribs i'm surprised I haven't turned into a cough potato. But despite everything I keep reasonably active even if it's just going for a decent walk each day about half-an-hour. But I need to lose a couple of Kilos as some of my nicest clothes don't fit any more. So my big challenge this summer is to get fit lose some weight and have plenty of yummy sex lol. I well when I feel safe to tug pull and stretch I can start on all that housework and gardening I've been afraid to do.
This secondary school is a fetching, pleasingly symmetrical building (though the left hand wing is obscured by trees in this pic) fronted by a neat chapel, and has attained a Grade II listing.
Built in 1935 in the neo-Georgian style, this was the final location of the Foundling Hospital, a children's charity established in Bloomsbury, London in 1739 by Thomas Coram. The charity housed and educated abandoned and orphaned children.
As the city expanded, the Hospital governors began looking for a healthier, more rural location and subsequently relocated to this new purpose-built hospital/school constructed on land obtained from the Ashlyns Estate.
In 1951, following a change in legislation around care for children, the Berkhamsted building became a secondary modern school. By 1954 the last children under the care of the charity moved on and their 1st floor dormitories became classrooms. The School was sold to Hertfordshire County Council in 1955 and became a comprehensive in 1960.
The original Foundling Hospital in Bloomsbury was demolished and is now the site of Coram’s Fields open/community space. Coram died in 1751 and his remains were moved to the chapel until the building was sold to the Council. He was then re-interred in St Andrew’s Church, Holborn.
The local council is putting the oval lights on every weeknight during lockdown so folk can get out and do a little exercise (social distancing of course). So the kid and I did a little wander up.
Well it was my turn for a lockdown birthday, no wild parties, no clubbing and no going out for a lovely meal… all have been from birthdays past, this year was to get myself comfy, and large glass of Gin and some good telly. What more could I ask for :)
As the COVID-19 lockdown gets tighter I'm only going out for exercise and food shopping and not taking the camera out as it's difficult to maintain distance living in London. I'm starting to miss it so things like the houseplants and contents of the fridge are starting to look more appealing but it's also a chance to shift to a slower and more deliberate style of photography which I haven't done so much of in the past.
Just up the road from our house we have been watching this dead oak fall to bits over the last few years. How much longer does it have?
A dull gloomy day so took a look at the nearby the gull colony. Lots of new arrivals including a large group of Mediterranean Gulls, some just starting to come into their splendid summer plumage. Lots of noise and general contesting each other for space and pairing up. Plus plenty of dark bellied Brent Geese and the odd Redshank.
