The next step on England’s “Roadmap out of Lockdown”. Rob and I are still keeping it local by taking another turn around Colwick Country Park, but now that we aren’t obliged to pretend that our getting together is only for exercise we don’t actually need to stay on the move. If we want to stop for a few minutes and enjoy the sunset on this mild spring evening, we can!

Patrick on his way home from work.

Kodak Portra 800, pulled 1 1/2 stops.

I found Cup Zero! So that’s why the Americans call it that...

It wasn’t actually anywhere near as dark as it looks, but wanting to shoot wide open on high-ISO film meant having to use the camera’s absolute fastest shutter speed, and the results would indicate that maybe it isn’t particularly well-timed. Remember as well that I didn’t yet know that the rangefinder is slightly out of alignment, so having decided to take this photo wide open I was unwittingly condemning myself to a misfocussed result, as well as an underexposed one.

But the actual point, what caught my eye, is thankfully still obvious. Just imagine, if the bloke who ordered this had had any other name in the world, and if he hadn’t carelessly left his rubbish lying around, I would’ve had to find some other subject.

Slightly misfocussed snowdrops.

Who would’ve thought that trying to focus-and-recompose with a rangefinder camera sporting an f/1.2 lens at the minimum focus distance whilst lying on the ground might lead to a loss of critical sharpness? I mean, I’ve pretty much nailed that single one facing away from me, but I wanted the whole cluster... never mind, they were already a day or two past their best anyway (which you can still kind of tell, in spite of everything).

If we allow that Colwick Country Park is “local” to both of us, and that Rob might constitute some kind of “support bubble” for me, and that a long walk should provide a degree of “exercise”, then we didn’t break any of the rules this afternoon. And our enjoyment of this woodland shelter that we discovered was unquestionably “necessary”!

The most depressing bench in the world...

I was supposed to be going for a socially distanced walk with Zosia, but then something came up at the last moment and she had to take a rain-check. I decided there was no point in sitting at home and feeling sorry for myself, so I went for a walk anyway – whereupon I found this, and then felt sorry for myself outdoors instead.

It’ll be all right, we’ve rearranged our meeting for tomorrow!

Taking the new secateurs for a test drive! I’m sure I should’ve done this weeks ago, before all these little buds started to show... let’s hope this late pruning doesn’t send our poor apple tree into some kind of shock or something, doesn’t ruin the harvest or whatever, because this really is quite a substantial amount I’ve just taken off.

Ten years ago, when I undertook my last 365 Project, there was a magnificent camellia bush in this corner, whose spring buds I photographed on this very date after the old woman who lived there at the time had given me permission to come and take pictures in her garden whenever I felt like it.

Now, ten years later, the old woman is dead, and the new occupants of the house have removed the camellia bush, along with part of the fence, to facilitate their ongoing renovations.

(New challenges require new approaches: for the duration of my time off work, and with my horizons severely limited, I’ve decided to experiment with shooting and presenting pairs of images, instead of the usual single frames. The results might not turn out to be anything special, but there’s got to be something worthwhile in the process.)
