I've been spending some of the lockdown curating images and I came across this one, which I call 'Library Man' - I've met this chap many times, but have only said a nodding 'hi' to him. He sits in the library and writes notes after notes after notes, day in day out. I wonder how he's doing with 'his' library shut. There must be so many people, old and young who have had their routines obliterated by this lockdown.
We start our Saturday mornings with a yoga class and even in lockdown, we still can.
Our local yoga school reacted very quickly to the restrictions, and set up lessons online using Zoom :)
During the UK wide COVID-19 lockdown I was finding it frustrating that I couldn't really venture out and shoot the sort of things I normally do. So with plenty of time on my hands indoors, I decided to set myself a little challenge, to document my family in as simple a way as possible.
Basically all I used was one main camera - my Sony A7iii and one lens - my Sigma ART 35mm f/1.4. I would shoot only in camera JPEG and use the in camera black and white profile.
In post process, all I did was some simple crop and rotation corrections. Im sure I have one leg bigger than the other - always seem to be wonky!
I really like the set of images and I might make a little book out of them. I think it captures our moods quite well. Happy one moment, and bored and sad the next.
Kinda glad we can venture out a bit more these days; even if we aren't completely out of the woods yet. The freedom feels amazing....!
This is near Weir Wood Reservoir, Sussex. It was our first short drive out for the permitted exercise since the UK lockdown began on 23rd March.

The definition I can find if Gargoyle's is "a grotesque carved human or animal face or figure projecting from the gutter of a building, typically acting as a spout to carry water clear of a wall"
Due to the Covid Lockdown in Wales I haven't been able to go out & find a real Gargoyle so have settled for this "grotesque spout to carry water clear of a wall" ;o)
#45 Gargoyle for 120 pictures in 2020
In addition to keeping a photographic record of my lockdown experience, I've also kept a journal. It's hard to believe, that months after it's all over, many of us will resume our normal lives and forget the challenges we had to face.

Took this the other day after Lucy had brought in a chipmunk, two mice and a wounded butterfly, all in the space of about 3 hours. Needless to say, the door closed on her antics.
My entry for a nine pic challenge at our U3A photography group. Our group now meets via Zoom but we are hoping to have some outdoor sessions in the coming months - once we are allowed to do so. Zoom has kept us going during lockdown but there’s no substitute for meeting up and taking photos of course...
This challenge is purely for fun and we do not have competitions as camera clubs do. Which suits me fine as these days I enjoy doing my own thing and I no longer have to pander to the whims of camera club judges! This challenge is for members to show what they have been up to during lockdown - in my case taking shots of folks taking their daily permitted exercise under lockdown rules. All pictures taken at Furzton Lake MK.

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.
Seen at Wells depot on May 16th 2020 are a pair of vehicles showing the measures that have been taken. First Volvo B9TL 37771 WX09KCK was SORN-ed by First when services were reduced and the least fuel efficient vehicles were deemed surplus. Instead, less thirsty e400mmcs were released temporarily from Bristol such as 33953 SN65ZCE, seen here looking smart in the sun.
