Love a bit of editing, get the darks dark and the bright spots bright first and away we go.

Sunray display at the Forest of Dean

Oct '83 North east of Cannich. The last of my 6x4.5cm slides. After this all are 35mm again. I changed back in Oct '95 so I would have slides for competitions at my local photo club. My only mistake was going back to my old Nikon F2 gear, I should have moved up to the Contax RTS system, with its superior Zeiss glass.

Still plenty of slides to go at, before lockdown ceases and I can get back out with my Sony AR72.

It's only about 14 years ago that people were saying, "Digital will never be as sharp as film". We've come a long way in a short time. The 42mp A7R2 is sharper than my 6x4.5 slides, never mind 35mm!

We've been getting lots of clouds lately, and it's been raining all around us, but we remain dry here. They say dry is good for the cotton at this stage, so I suppose we shouldn't complain. We can always water the garden, but I'd sure hate to see the cotton crop ruined.

Taking the time to soak up the sunshine of my life.

Happy National Squirrel Day! ♥

Sunray was an anti-gravity racer in the mid to late 21st century. Light and fast, with a large engine, it won a series of races. However, its main fame came from its bright and distinctive colour scheme.

Dendrobium Gatton Sunray is an orchid hybrid which was registered in 1919, and was awarded an FCC/RHS, which is the highest award an orchid can receive for quality , in accordance with the set judging rules. Today 99 years later it is still commonly grown because of it's spectacular flowers and it's ability to grow into one of the largest cultured orchids available. Gatton Sunray has two species in it's breeding. The small growing Dendrobium chrysotoxum with it's wonderful golden flowers and the much larger Dendrobium pulchellum ( formerly dalhousianum), with pale pink flowers and dark purple spotted lip, which was used twice. My plant is at it's biggest size ever being 1.5 metres high.

Yosemite National Park, CA nearing sunset.

A nearby bonfire was producing smoke which enhanced the light rays shining through the leaves. I really liked the ethereal, almost dreamlike effect.

Wasdale trip photo's. Plan was to camp two nights at the Wasdale head national trust campsite. Get photo's of sunset, sunrise nad night time, from various locations in this area. This shot was taken from the ridge of Lingmell looking across to Pillar.
