I'm running a photography workshop in partnership with Dave Peck Photography in February 2024.
Places are limited.

Managed to pick up another of these so did a quick combined build while having a break from Malibu Mansion MK3. Intend to make a wider/deeper/taller version after seeing the film for more interior & ground floor detail. Just had to maker it 'tower'...
Managed to make it to London Pride again, with my pal sisyphus007. This time I hired a Canon 85mm f/1.2L II lens, an absolute brick that was in itself a workout to carry round. Was perhaps a bit too ambitious in my determination to shoot with as wide an aperture as possible. When I hit the right focus point it was sharp, but I did find the focussing to be a little cumbersome.
As ever, the day was characterised by fun, happiness and laughter. The participants were, without fail, delighted to be photographed. Hopefully they all enjoyed the day !!
Managed to correct the height error, still need to replace the reddish brown 1x2 technic bricks with tan ones but still have to order those, I keep forgetting. Almost out of tan 2x2’s too and other parts are in tan that I’m starting to get low on stock
Managed to wake up a little earlier than normal yesterday, so went for walk with little Oak. Was a lush misty morning.
Managed to make a few photographs between gusts of wind. This meadow full of goldenrod was in near-constant motion, but with a tripod, a remote, and a little patience, there were moments when things held still enough.

Managed to sneak up pretty close to this Heron before it spotted me and took to the air, E-M1/100-300mm.
Press L for a larger and nicer view :-)
Managed to get a macro shot of Lily with both eyes wide open.
Reposted for Macro Mondays theme "Mostly White"

Manage to capture this Egret flying over what appears to be a desert landscape but what it was was some reddish plant growth covering the surface of the water. Can you can tell I'm not a Botanist !! :-)
Thanks to fellow Flickr Togger Archie McCafferty for doing a great job in coercing this Egret to take off across the pond, for me to be able to capture this image.
No form of cruelty to the bird happened during the coercing :-))))
Finally managed to take pictures of this outfit...or one part of it!
I always wanted to have a mourning dress for Arcadia, with a veil and of course still very dramatic looking. I'm glad I could finally make this come true and on top was brave enough to go out and take pictures.
In the story it all begins when Ramin's father, and Arcadia's husband, Damos dies. While the two were more like close friends than lovers, not too bad considering it was an arranged marriage, Arcadia still grieved for Damos and played her part of a sad widow. Once a year she visits his grave, until the very end.
Thank you to AyuAna for making this possible!<3

Arcadia Mellenkamp - SOOM SO Beryl
Managed to squeeze in sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, carrots, red onion, yellow crookneck squash and zucchini
Wegens (eeuwige) werken tussen Manage en de vertakking Feluy, is er maar één spoor beschikbaar en dient er om beurt gereden te worden. Intervorming 57200 uit Chatelet moest daardoor 3 kwartier wachten om zijn weg naar Antwerpen Noord verder te mogen zetten... 11/09/2017
Finally managed to get out and meet girlfriends on a couple of occasions but now we are in Tier 2 that will be back on hold I guess. Thought I'd post this one of me in a cab to emphasise the lengths we girls have to go to just to enjoy some much needed girl time. Hope you are all keeping safe.
Luckily I managed to see it and what a sight it was! The next one is in 2090. What a feeling stood there to see this almost once in a life time natural event.

Millions of people in the UK and northern Europe have glimpsed the best solar eclipse in years.
A great swathe of the Earth's surface was plunged into darkness as the Moon came between us and the Sun.
From an aeroplane above the Faroe Islands, a BBC camera crew captured startling footage of the event reaching totality at 09:41 GMT.
The deep shadow formed first in the North Atlantic and then swept up into the Arctic, ending at the North Pole.
Brilliant beads
People keen to catch a glimpse of the rare phenomenon were advised not to look directly at it.
Looking directly at the Sun can cause serious harm, and skywatchers were directed to the multiple ways to catch an eclipse safely and in comfort.
In all parts of the UK, the eclipse reached at least 83%, with the darkness peaking at about 09:35 GMT. The precise timing and degree of the eclipse varied with location.
For the Shetland Islands, the eclipse was at its height at 09:43 GMT and was very near total, with 97% of the Sun's disc obscured by the Moon.
For those caught under cloudy skies, the internet was a good option to see the eclipse.
Scientific agencies had planes and even satellites gathering video to relay on the web and on television.
In the UK, the weather turned out to be slightly better than anticipated, with clouds breaking in many places at just the right time. London and the South East, on the other hand, just saw their grey day get slightly gloomier.
Experiencing a genuine total eclipse required a trip north of the British Isles - such as the flight taken by a BBC camera crew and Stargazing Live's Liz Bonnin, above the clouds in the Faroes.
"We have a pretty spectacular view," Bonnin said. "This is extraordinary."
That footage revealed interesting features of the eclipse, including a clear view of "Baily's beads". These are the sparkles of light seen at the very edge of the Moon, where its rugged landscape allows the last rays of sunlight to peak through before full obscuration.
Few land areas were directly in the path of the Moon's deepest shadow - its so-called umbra - and seabirds probably had some of the most dramatic eclipse experiences.
The period of greatest darkness - nearly three minutes - occurred over a spot in the Norwegian Sea, a little below the Arctic Circle, at 09:46 GMT.
Many professional and amateur astronomers positioned themselves in the Faroe Islands, where the capital city of Torshavn got totality for a full two minutes, beginning just before 09:41 GMT.
And those who could not book a flight or a hotel for the Faroes went to Svalbard, where the capital city of Longyearbyen witnessed two and a half minutes of totality, starting shortly after 10:10 GMT.
Shifting the wind
Scientists sought help from citizens with their research - even those in cloudy areas.
A University of Reading team ran an experiment to learn more about how the atmosphere behaves as the Moon's shadow runs over the Earth.
The National Eclipse Weather Experiment (NEWEx) asked people to record conditions at their locality - any changes in cloud cover, in the wind, and in temperature.
The team hoped the observations could help them improve future weather forecasting capability.
Study leader Prof Giles Harrison said: "Early analysis of the data shows some wonderful results, thanks to some excellent observations by our army of citizen scientists.
"Along with a rapid drop in temperature, there seems to have been a reduction of cloud cover around central England, parting the clouds momentarily for some viewers.
"We will be analysing the results in more detail over the next few weeks to see if we can discover any other effects."
Next year will have a total solar eclipse, too.
That will occur on 9 March, and will cross Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, and extend out over the Pacific.
The UK will not experience a solar eclipse on this scale again until 2026.
I managed to get the chance to go and try and take images of Badgers. As you can see, lady luck was on my side.
Badgers are short-legged omnivores in the family Mustelidae (which also includes the otters, wolverines, martens, minks, polecats, weasels, and ferrets). Badgers are a polyphyletic rather than a natural taxonomic grouping, being united by their squat bodies and adaptions for fossorial activity. All belong to the caniform suborder of carnivoran mammals.
The fifteen species of mustelid badgers are grouped in four subfamilies: four species of Melinae (genera Meles and Arctonyx) including the European badger, five species of Helictidinae (genus Melogale) or ferret-badger, the honey badger or ratel Mellivorinae (genus Mellivora), and the American badger Taxideinae (genus Taxidae). Badgers include the most basal mustelids; the American badger is the most basal of all, followed successively by the ratel and the Melinae; the estimated split dates are about 17.8, 15.5 and 14.8 million years ago, respectively.
The two species of Asiatic stink badgers of the genus Mydaus were formerly included within Melinae (and thus Mustelidae), but more recent genetic evidence indicates these are actually members of the skunk family (Mephitidae).
Badger mandibular condyles connect to long cavities in their skulls, which gives resistance to jaw dislocation and increases their bite grip strength. This in turn limits jaw movement to hinging open and shut, or sliding from side to side, but it does not hamper the twisting movement possible for the jaws of most mammals.
Badgers have rather short, wide bodies, with short legs for digging. They have elongated, weasel-like heads with small ears. Their tails vary in length depending on species; the stink badger has a very short tail, while the ferret-badger's tail can be 46–51 cm (18–20 in) long, depending on age. They have black faces with distinctive white markings, grey bodies with a light-coloured stripe from head to tail, and dark legs with light-coloured underbellies. They grow to around 90 cm (35 in) in length including tail.
The European badger is one of the largest; the American badger, the hog badger, and the honey badger are generally a little smaller and lighter. Stink badgers are smaller still, and ferret-badgers are the smallest of all. They weigh around 9–11 kg (20–24 lb), while some Eurasian badgers weigh around 18 kg (40 lb).
I had to lighten it up a bit, but I got this done on my 18th birthday, July 31st, same as Harry Potter. :]
It was a busy day of rail replacement buses passing through Staines-upon-Thames on Saturday 27/02/2021 with 20 departures an hour heading for Hounslow, Windsor & Eton, Weybridge and Ascot.
There were 17 operators out and about which between them managed to put on a show of 37 buses to keep me busy! And it was lovely and sunny too!!

Aures, Tove, Lulu, Lysandra, and Bobby prepare for their first real concert as a band. A surprise pop up show in Hogsmeade for the monthly school trip to the village. Toves father provided the stage, decor, and of course some equipment upgrades. He had a lot to make up for since he promised Tove and Aures a trip to Japan over the summer but didn't follow through.
Of course what was a first gig without proper band photos!
66: When you mix carrot juice, lettuce juice, and juice from various herbs that you didn't even know contained juice... it makes a nice army green. Elliot manages to squeeze more juice out of lettuce (and everything he eats, to be honest) than a juicer ever could.
Managed to acquire this one, again.
This time it should be staying, for good. It's had a few replacement parts in the near year apart, but it isn't running a great deal better, with a slightly heavy gear change when cold, as well as sad sounding tensioners and an oil leak.
Still the only E34 I have driven, but they are remarkable in the way they drive, well balanced and weighted, with some great response in bends.
Get a cheap one while you can.
Crosville Duple bodied Bedford VAM5 CVT681 : Crosville bought several batches of Bedford coaches pre-NBC for excursion and private hire work and many of these acquired NBC white livery and lasted for a surprisingly long time. Seen here at Aberystwyth, freshly painted, CVT681 would last until 1977, managing a creditable 10 years in Crosville service.
Four directional LED lights, one daylight LED. I should explain: In Britain, the term "just about managing" is being used by the Prime Minister to describe the poor. Allegedly, the Prime Minister, being a vicar's daughter, cares about the poor. So far, her policies have done very little to better the life of the poor.
Managed to pan around and look at how the clouds came to life with the setting sun ... still blue in the upper sky and red glow in the clouds below the patterns came out pretty cool.
Happy October! Sorry I havent posted in a while - been a crazy time with just life in general. Managed to grab a shot today though and looking forward to posting more regularly.
Ive been a workout kick so trying to feminize out the curves and to just generally lose more weight. So far so good I think but having to stick with it is tough
Hope all is going well for you wherever in the world you are!
I managed to get inside the massive crowd. People were slowly following the mourning procession. it was very tough to find my way to the front as there were lot of people with hypnotic eyes and were very annoyed if someone was pushing in. there were groups of people with sharp chains and blades in the miles long procession. They were stopping and started to beat their back & chest with those sharp chains which allowed them to bleed. Most of them got covered by blood.
This man was shaking. Not surprisingly, the shake came from his excruciating pain. There were deep cuts on his back and on his head. He was painfully uttering the names of Hasan and Husain. I couldn’t stand there longer as the beating was about to start and there was people with sharp objects. They got very inspired as soon as they saw me with a big camera. My camera turned almost red from the blood coming out from the swings of their hands. Its very easy to get hit by those as most of these people seemed like going through in a trans.

Managed to drag myself out of bed for a sunrise great morning but by lunchtime I was playing scrabble in the community hall on Bryher with the rain pouring down. I hasten to add none of the family had taken waterproofs with them.
...how plants survive.
Seen in the interesting roof garden atop the new Transbay Transit Terminal. San Francisco.
Managed to get my backside out of the holiday chair and get out and take some shots in the New Year. Let's hope this year is going to see some great street art.

Finally managed to get the camera out over Easter, we had some family stay at Mooloolaba & decided to stop in for a visit, gave me a good excuse to get out for a shoot, the sky was rather bland until the sun went down behind me & these crazy rays appeared in this intense colour to the east.
The lighthouse you see is Point Cartwright, another great seascapers spot.

Managed to catch up with 3 of the Sparrowhawk chicks which I photographed just a couple of weeks ago when they were but fluffy balls,now looking every bit troublesome youths! There were 5 chicks hatched and we think 1 has already perished shortly after it left the nest having not been seen again after that day so possibly predated or unable to get back to the nest for food,yesterday these 3 were sat next to each other briefly on a branch waiting to make their move when the next kill arrived,lovely shrivelight lighting the birds up and not to many branches/leaves in the way!
The thirteen-mile former NER branch from Haltwhistle to Alston managed to escape Beeching's axe in the 1960s, only to be closed in May 1976, following a long period of 'rationalisation' by British Rail. Plans to run the railway as a preserved line came to nought, although Alston does see trains again, in the form of the narrow gauge South Tyndale Railway which has been based here since the early 1980s.
This view from my collection sees a class 101 DMU on arrival in 1975. The station once boasted an overall roof, engine shed alongside and a turntable.

This is the first time I have managed a shot of a Nuthatch its not spectacularly sharp but I think passable. Would have preferred a shot without the bird feeder but I could not manage one in the trees. It was a pretty gloomy day in Hebden one day I might manage to visit my friends when the sun shines
The nuthatch is a plump bird about the size of a great tit that resembles a small woodpecker. It is blue-grey above and whitish below, with chestnut on its sides and under its tail. It has a black stripe on its head, a long black pointed bill, and short legs. It breeds in central and southern England and in Wales, and is resident, with birds seldom travelling far from the woods where they hatch.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED.
Managed to get a shot of four goldfinches at the feeder. There are actually two more young ones - but they're waiting in the trees.
Managed to get out for the first time in a while last night. I took my wife to some of my old favourites, after seeing my favourite phonebox had been removed and my favourite church was lit up like Big Ben we strayed a few miles to another place I used to shoot back in the day. Trailed for 30 mintues before packing up and going home, lit by passing cars and trucks as well as a little foregound lighting from my iphone. I remember there was a security light that came on when you got too close so I chose to stand back and get a nice fisheye shot.
Enjoy

Managed to spot a tiny Common Blue flitting around the Clay Pit nature reserve a few days ago, luckily it balanced on top of a grass stem for a few seconds before going on another mazy flight. E-M5/60mm.
Managed to get up to Skyline Drive for the one-hour window between the end of twilight and moonrise.
