Hairy, Harey, Times - Mad March 2020
By Viv Scone.
Artists notes
Started during the first lockdown and created from materials I already had plus objects from the local environment. All in all part sculptural study of the form of a Hare. But with a nod to the times being out of joint and wildlife ( Real and Imaginary ) Behaving differently and "Badly" a "Mad" march Hare seemed a suitable response to all that was happing.

Being a keen cyclist with more time and good weather, it has been a case of only snapping the odd bus with my iphone whilst out enjoying my government mandated exercise during the Covid lockdown. However, I have captured a few of the odd vehicle movements as operators used the most fuel efficient vehicles or those best suited to applying social distancing.

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/
I have a telescope that I rarely take out - not sure why - but I did take it out this evening. It's not an expensive one (Tasco 114mm reflector) but I managed to get this shot of the moon by simply sticking my iPhone into the lens of the telescope. Pretty crude but not a bad result, eh?
Probably wouldn't have even bothered if it weren't for this COVID lockdown period...

My first test shoot with the camera. All went well until unloading the film. As I took the camera out of the outer case, the back fell off exposing the film. I hastily rushed to place the camera into a changing bag. Although there were a number of shots lost and some light leakage, I was able to save some photos.
A really unusual camera. When focusing, there is a periscope device that you push down for an enlarged view of the subject, allowing you to focus.
The camera was made by Corfield in Wolverhampton, UK in 1953.
Keeping safe and occupied during the first six months of Covid-19 has taken its toll, in wear and tear, of my gloves bought at the beginning of the year.The family has been fortunate in dealing with the pandemic ,so far, and feel desperate for those who have been less fortunate....Hopefully my new gloves will not need the usage borne by my older pair with the understanding that we can all come through the remainder of this pandemic safely and quickly.
The Grassmarket, a large square in the lower part of the Old Town, sitting right below the enormous edifice of Edinburgh Castle. Packed with bars, restaurants, a regular street market, hotels, it is normally thriving with locals, visitors, tourists. In fact normally so busy with students on a pub crawl, stag and hen parties getting drunk and lots of tourists that often locals tend to avoid it or walk quickly through while muttering about "bloody tourists" getting in the way. How things have changed in a few weeks...
Some of the bars have had the windows boarded up as a precaution while they lie closed, which, along with the empty streets, adds to a surreal and unsettling atmosphere. Middle of the afternoon, area should be jumping with people. What strange times we find ourselves in.
Several of the resident pigeons walked up to me and looked up at me, as if to say, come on, where is everyone? No doubt poor things are waiting for people to drop some of the food they are eating in the Grassmarket so they can claim it.
Now that I'm in Lockdown I have time to spend with my camera. It's all going to be indoors but I'm lucky I've got some lights and a spare room. This lady is about 12" tall and makes an interesting project. This is one stripbox camera right set on a very low setting. Minimal PP including a crop. Taken with an 18-55 Pentax Kit Lens.
