Before anyone thinks my photostream has suddenly become a bit bawdy, I am referring to the jugs in the photo above.
I decided to try & get out & about yesterday & I found myself in Southwold. I visited the Adnams shop while I was there & couldn't resist taking a photo of all the jugs on display.
Nikon Nikkormat (1965) SLR 60th Anniversary Film Revival - all 36 images - Nikon Nikkormat FTN (1967) with GN Auto Nikkor F2.8 45mm Prime (F mount) & Kodak Gold 200 35mm film & AstrHori AH-M1 Light Meter & Polarizer - Photographer Russell McNeil PhD (Physics) lives on Vancouver Island, where he works as a writer.
I went down to Laguna Seca late last month to check out the Speed Ventures track day and Radical Sports car and EXR races. I took a bunch of photos digitally (to be posted shortly), but also brought along a new-to-me old film SLR; a Nikon F-801s. I thought this was supposed to AF with all of my Nikkor lenses, but it wouldn't work for me; so pardon some missed-focus shots; I had to do it manually. If R1 is in the image name, it was taken on Agfa Photo Vista 200; R2 was Ektar 100. Taken with one of the following lenses:
Nikon 24mm f/1.8G
Nikon 50mm f/1.8D
Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II
Nikon 300mm f/2.8 VR I
Most of these could be improved in Lightroom or whatever, and I may do that eventually, but I'm posting these raw scans as-is, because that was the point of shooting the film for me, and I'm spending plenty of time in LR for the digital photos anyway. ^_^
I visited the main church in Lowestoft recently for a festival they were holding.
This was the view as I walked in, an impressive start.
I took Mac on the beach for his usual morning walk early yesterday. It was just as well we did go early as it began raining about 10:00 & didn't stop all day.
This meant Mac's walking schedule was curtailed somewhat, a situation he was not happy with. He spent the day roaming the house looking for someone to play ball with him & he also lay down for a while.
Here is is in one of his quieter moments, looking a bit perturbed that rain has stopped play.
I used a slightly different setting on the camer for this shot. It was to provide a softer focus and not such intense colour that I normally enjoy, as I thought that wasn't quite right for this kind of shot.. It would be interesting to see what people make of it anyway.

After having a wander round the Cathedral grounds and the city centre of Ely, I took a wander to the river area.
As I made my way down there, I came across this impressive looking residence. It was nicely sited near the river and on the bend of a road.
Most of the 1940's action was centred around the old rail line at Sheringham (the Poppy line).
Old steam trains were running back & forth while I was there. They would bring a fresh batch of 1940's enthusiasts in each time they arrived. This meant plenty of variety for photos.
These two guys were fresh off the train when I got this shot. They made an interesting duo.
My tour round the Lifeboat was an enjoyable one, but it was also bitterly cold.
Once I got in I was very reluctant to go out again so I thought it was time to try & get a bit creative with some indoor photography again. This pair of secateurs were todays effort.
I spent a couple of enjoyable hours decorating this mannequin.Once it was given a spot of colour it seemed only right to get it in the lightroom.
This time though I went easy on the lights and let a flashgun provide a spot of illumination. I liked the shadow it cast in here.
Judging from the shady characters going in there with hooded tops, I would say the 'Family Entertainment Centre' description is a bit inaccurate.
The sign did however make for a good photo while I was on my night time expedition.
Mac came to Orford & had great fun playing ball on the hills round the Castle there. This was taken after several trips down a particularly steep hill to fetch his ball.
Another close up blossom shot, this time with a slightly altered coloured temperature to bring out the bright whites.
