I've been here before, but The light here was lovely, so I did it again! This is an HDR composite of 5 shots (which explains the tree right, which doesn't bother me too much)
I actually went to take some 360° panoramas - but I can't do those in HDR! I'll post those when I can work out how to upload a full size one when it's over 10 megs in size =;O
This is the first of a whole bundle of photos recently acquired on Ebay and all were taken by Carl Weaver and are reproduced with his permission. By 2008 this garage forecourt had completely disappeared but there were still signs of the pump island www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.0783302,-0.2736238,3a,75y,90h,9... In the present day it's totally cleared www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.0783734,-0.2736343,3a,75y,90h,9... Not far from here is Twells of Billinghay who have recently stopped selling petrol as well.
EVERYTHING I WANTED TO TELL YOU (rendering), 2018
Hiba Abdallah - Windsor, Canada
Scarborough Community Members - Scarborough, Canada
What are the untold stories, secrets and conversations about places you think you know? EVERTHING I WANTED TO TELL YOU captures complex narratives of Scarborough’s diversity, nuance and resilience.
During the day, the Scarborough Civic Centre is used as a government building where constituents are counted and categorized. For one night on Nuit Blanche, Hiba Abdallah will use the building to explore deeply personal stories of Scarborough residents: their enthusiasms, anxieties and histories. The stories will be displayed as a large-scale text installation projected directly onto the 90-foot facade of the building.
The collection of messages was gathered through workshops with an intergenerational group of 11 Scarborough residents. The group visited lesser-known historical sites in Scarborough and several organizations that are part of the backbone of the community’s cultural scene.
The full collection of stories will be at the Doris McCarthy Gallery as part of an extended look at Scarborough in the exhibition It Can Only Be This Place, works by Hiba Abdallah with Steven Beckly, Alyssa Bistonath and Patrick Cruz (September 4 – November 3, 2018).
This project was made in collaboration with members of the Scarborough community: Sofia Habib, Timothy Hunter, Noor Khan, Pamila Matharu, Joy Smith, Etta Snipe, Helen Su, Zahra Tootonsa, Trevor Twells, Islin Waite and Deshaun Whyte.
Hiba Abdallah is a text-based artist who often works in collaboration with others to develop public installations, projects and exhibitions about collective narratives of place. Abdallah’s work cultivates a playful yet reverent sense of community and fosters the public imagination.

Another attempt at the stripy field up the road from me.
Potatoes?
This one's with a 10mm wide angle (15mm in 35mm speak) at the other end of the field from this one
The map says there's a public footpath across this. After you...
#76 on Explore for May 26th 2009
Strobist info: 10 individual frames composited in Photoshop. Each frame shot with a single SB-800 with a Corrrex snoot on an extended Manfrotto stand, held high over each subject. Both camera and strobes fired with Pocket Wizards. Missed the target a bit on Carl, unfortunately :) and also blew out Amanda, Kevin and Nikki, but hey, it was a first attempt :)
Also, just wanted to reflect the fact that a) the rain did hold off and b) we did manage to drag ourselves out of the pub :) and thanks all for turning up and being patient!!!

Photograph, printed, paper, monochrome, a group of five women holding American flags; printed caption on reverse 'The United States of America will be well represented in the procession of Suffragettes which is to take place on Saturday. Our picture shows the American ladies who will carry the American flag and colours of the movement. Reading from left to right they are: Miss Julia Helen Twells, Miss E[lizabeth] Freeman (organiser of the American movement for Women's Suffrage), Miss Maude Roosevelt (niece of President Roosevelt), Professor L[illien] J[ane] Martin of the Stanford University, California, and Miss Ada Wright', also 'Copyright World's Graphic Press Limited, 36-38 Whitefriars Street, Fleet Street, London'
The women were members of the American contingent that took part in the Women's Social and Political Union’s 23 July 1910 procession. The American group was organised by Elizabeth Freeman (see Votes for Women, 22 July 1910, p 714) – and the organizer for all foreign contingents was Ada Wright.
This is probably the earliest photo taken of Twells Garage which started under the name F Twells (Fred) as a blacksmith in 1928 before going into car repairs.
The photo shows the local doctor who owned the very first car in the village filling up with fuel.
Twells later become a Ford dealer in the late 30's also being involved in the haulage industry but spending the last four decades as a Vauxhall dealership.
Pratts, Esso, Q8, Murco fuels were sold until the fuel forecourt closed in 2016 to focus more on the car sales business.
Thanks to John Twells for permission to reproduce this photo.
8307 UP is a Leyland Leopard L2 with Duple Commodore coachwork. New to Shaw Bros, Byers Green in 1963, it passed to United along with the Shaw Bros business in 1974. The only evidence of United ownership is the fleet number 1176 applied below the windscreen.
I am trying to recall where this photograph was taken - maybe the premises of dealer Twell, Ingham.
Red Kite, Milvus Milvus
I find these really really difficult to photograph. Fast moving, erratic flight path when picking food up. These (I will post a few more) were all taken at the Gigrin Kite feeding centre at Rhayader, Mid Wales. I took 250 RAWs this time(glad it wasn't film!), of which 3 are vaguely useable - that's two more than last time . 400mm Sigma, x1.4 adaptor, rating at 400ISO to give a fast enough shutter speed - even so, 1/250 isn't quite short enough. Taken at f/9.0. This is just a crop.
Impressive birds. This still photograph gives no indication of the power or presence of these things
Bristol SUL4A / ECW JNV 304D was one of several similar vehicles purchased by United Counties in 1966 and then stored until late 1967 before entry into service. At the time the Bristol SUL model was an old design and was shortly to be superseded by the new Bristol LH. As it was, United Counties disliked both these vehicles and the LH's that came after them, none were destined to have a long life. JNV 304D served at Leighton Buzzard garage from December 1967 until December 1972, only 5 years, and then passed to Sid Twell of Ingham, Lincs for scrap during 1973.
Scanned from an acquired slide.
Last in the night shots (for the moment!) - about 2 minutes at f/11, plus five or six full power bursts from a hand-held SB800 strobe on the crop.
The orange glow is Shrewsbury, about 5 miles distant.
I'm still not 100% happy - the right hand side is missing some illumination, and I want more star trail. But it's getting there.
The preceding failure is here if anyone's interested
WIldmoor Pool. There's an earlier take here which captures a different angle. I did wonder about B&W with this one.....

Happy Easter to all!
A mono version of this one.
This is 7 bracketed shots, combined HDR, channel mixed to monochrome and then gently tinted. Oh, and then the border.

Bristol LL5G RHK 122 approaches its destination of Derngate bus station on a service 346 from Buckingham. It was acquired as part of the transfer of the midland area of Eastern National to UC in 1952 and remained until March 1967 when sold to S. Twell of Ingham, Lincs. ..Derngate, Northampton.
Although I'd photographed this site before I couldn't resist in getting some better photos whilst I was in the area.
Fuel sales ended in 2016 under the Murco brand as the business wanted to concentrate on the car sales side.
There are two pumps on site but only for business use

Acquired by United Counties through the takeover of Luton Corporation Transport in January 1970 were a number of non-standard vehicles including some Dennis Lolines, the newest double deck vehicles in the fleet at the time of takeover. Possibly due to local engineering knowledge of the vehicles they never strayed far from Luton Garage even once in UCOC's ownership. FXD 184 and 186C are seen here in Bridge Street, Luton soon after being repainted into green. Most survived around three years in service with United Counties and were acquired by dealer Sid Twell of Ingham after withdrawal. Only two saw further service - FXD 183C spent some time with Ernie's (Keuhnlenz) of Upper Langwith, Derbyshire whilst FXD 184C was converted to a mobile theatre and shipped to Paris in February 1974. Allegedly this vehicle survived for a number of years in France and it was supposedly still in existence in the late 1990's although I have yet to see any photographic evidence of this.

The following by Rev. Canon Henry Twells (1823-1900)
When as a child I laughed and wept,
Time Crept
When as a youth I waxed more bold,
Time Strolled
When as a full-grown man,
Time Ran
When older still I daily grew,
Time Flew
Soon I shall find in passing on,
Time Gone
Oh Christ! Wilt Thou have saved me then?
Amen
