Wolverhampton Lichfield Street and one of those buses and girls shots I'm known for. On this occasion my shutter speed selection button got disturbed without my knowledge and the ones I t took here are all spoilt. However I still quite like this of BX61 XBV in a way as it's a bit like one of those early colour illustrations from the Sixties we found in Buses Annual and other publications.
"Can't find no time
nor a reason for a change of mind
now the curtain's down, why should I stay?
Can't find no trace
in that old fashioned face, yeah
remind me, please what words to say.
Night after night, didn't I try to forget you?
All those car - city lights, kept flashing their shadows on me.
It's an LA rendevous
Foggy Thursday morning
Bess with me and John's with you
Just like, old times, alone together
so close your eyes and see..."

As everyone settled into the place it was great to see Mums and Dads getting a chance for some quality time with their families.
Had expired Arista 8x10 so thought I'd go out with this. Had some issues with fogging and not sure why but with old film never can tell what you might get. Was a cloudy day so did the best I could - always love the detail one gets with large format.

Before going to NYC to see my friends Oscar and Sloane. I had a book for Xmas, from my sister, with some great B&W photos of the city inside... Here is a poor attempt to do the same kind of shots I saw in the book ;-)
Avant d'aller à NYC pour voir mes amis Oscar et Sloane. J'ai eu pour Noël, de la part de ma soeur, un livre avec de supers photos N&B de la ville... Ceci est une pauvre tentative de faire le genre de photos vues dans le livre ;-)

We have a robin's nest in front of our living room window! This is the first time I can remember having a front row seat to such a marvel, and I'm pretty excited to see how this unfolds!
This story began for me on Easter morning. Now, our smallest moon is 11 years old and probably ought to know what's what as far as the holy trinity of the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and Santa Claus are concerned, but I will continue to humor him and his older siblings until such time that I am told outright to knock it off.
Anyway, I was hiding Easter eggs in the front yard and discovered this nest, sans eggs in a shrubbery next to the front door. Since it was empty, I'd thought it was a leftover from last year that had simply escaped detection. The Easter Bunny thought it'd be pretty clever to hide a hard boiled chicken egg in the little nest and watch the kids get a good laugh out of it. When it came time to count up how many eggs each of the little Moons found, though, we discovered one was missing. It took a while before I - er, I mean the Easter Bunny - realized which one was missing. I looked in the nest, and it was completely gone. Not only that, but all the fine straw on the surface had been scratched out of the nest too. Right down to the mud holding all the structural portions of the nest together.
Strangely, we never did find the missing egg. Odder still, the bedding straw was completely relaid by the end of the day! I finally realized my mistake at thinking it was one of last year's nests. I was far more surprised to discover a robin's egg in there two days later! Not to mention an additional egg the next day, and a third the day after that!
The mama robin has become a little more comfortable at the amount of foot traffic in the vicinity of the front door, and doesn't fly off every time somebody peeps out the curtained window to check on her and her eggs, either.
With any luck, we should notice the hatchlings later this week! Fingers crossed...

It was, for some, Russian Camera week, so I pulled out my c.1940's pre-war FED"1" with a roll of Arista Ultra 100. This isn't an easy camera to shoot with, given the approximate shutter speeds, the FEDf3.5 50mm uncoated and imprecise apertures, and Barnack style loading, but it's a fun challenge nonetheless. Adding to the opportunity was that my film decided to stick inside the cannister (my own rolling from bulk) so many overlaps/double exposures and torn film contributing to the experience. Even so, tried to do some reasonable capture, remembering that sometimes it's the process that's the product. Thanks for the flickeranians who continue to inspire and get me off my tush to observe rather than merely see.

Where do I start??? OTT!!
When I first took up a camera, PS was the last thing I wanted for my images. I was determined that any of my images would be natural!!!! that was before I discovered that adjusting the contrast, brightness and saturation, altered my images to a point which I found acceptable!
Approx 9 months ago I purchased PS Elements 9 and it has helped me replicate the images which my camera and I, have attempted to capture!!!
Along the way I have discovered many other things which I can do to alter images and although I would strive not to alter natural images, sometimes I find it fun to play a little!!!
Today's image is a great example of me at play!! You will find 5 of the 6 images which I have submitted to "The Sunday Challenge" group stream! These images plus other images which I posted to flickr over the past year!! All have a perticular relevance, to me anyway, some more than others and all reflect a period of life from which I am learning.
There are too many alterations and additions in this image for me to explain but I hope you enjoy looking through the creation! and that is what it is, a creation, having fun, have a look at the origional in the comments below!!! Not my usual sunset or landscape but life should have a little fun!!!!! Enjoy
A bit of experimenting with long exposures with filters at Wheal Peevor, Redruth. Got quite nice natural colours from the filter combo, see below for list of filters used.

There's been quite a lot of snow around here recently, but I never had any occasion to go out and shoot...
Yesterday I decided to try and go on the roads no matter what (and I was just in time: it's melting very fast)
I was rewarded with a bit of sun.
This is the "Château de Flamanville", a great place where I go chasing dragonflies in the summer.
