First public share of a test shot from my new old FujiFilm X-E1 and Meike 35mm f/1.7
It was pretty dark hence the shot is not perfectly sharp, I am discovering 'no ibis' time again. The picture is not touched by editing software, SOOC.
I think I must spend some time to get used to manual focusing and shutter speeds similar to what I had when shooting film.
I really like the bokeh of that Meike. It's pleasant, not disturbing.
Woke up this morning and decided it was time for a bit of a shake up.
I dusted down my Sony A6000, slapped on the 18-105mm telezoom lens, watched a couple of POV street photography videos to get me fired up and then headed to Celle for the day.
It certainly was weird, to say the least, using a zoom lens after shooting so long with the GR and its fixed 18mm lens.
Had a great day and bagged quite a few keepers. My wife and daughter also bagged a few....shirts, dresses and jeans during the outing. Anything for a quiet life 😉
Thanks for taking the time to view my image. Your comments, faves & constructive criticism are greatly appreciated.

37418 approaching Crewe with a Derby RTC - Holyhead - Derby test train. 37421 was bringing up the rear. That Gorse bush is obviously hard as nails, still flowering after days of near freezing conditions. 12th February 2021.

WC was always willing to try something a little different but this sighting was a little much for the former ACR. WC 2001 leads train 2 running very late in the last sunshine of the day south of Searchmont. For some reason it was decided to try a couple CNW commuter coaches for a week or so on trains 1 and 2 between Hearst and Sault Ste. Marie. Reportedly the locals that used this train for the most part were far from impressed. 2-25-95.

this morning, I made some digital test shots exploring the possibilities that exist within the idea of artistic blur. here is one... I plan to make some of these on film in the near future.
Finished work at 17.15 on Thursday.
The monthly 1Q82 was in the system and timed through Wukky at 17.43.
Weather forecast said more chance of brightness further north but that would be no good to me as traffic would mean I couldn't head up the coast with any certainty.
I left work and performed my own weather check by driving up the 595 to Winscales and looking out over the coast.
Parton had potential so I headed there.
Plan was to replicate the shot of the flasks from a few uploads ago but this time with sun.
As I parked the car by the tunnel two 68s went past with an early 6C46 Sellafield - Kingmoor flask but I was wrong side so had to let 'em go. They had been able to get away early due to the Northern Rail strike freeing up some pathing but I hadn't checked.
Oh well, time to focus on the main target. I knew that 37219 & 37421 were allocated, as they have been for the majority of the season, but I didn't know which was at the front.
Chucked the ladder up, sorted out some exposure and then the set-up appeared in the distance at Sea Brows some 7 minutes early.
This was definitely the last chance for me to nail it this season and with 421 at the sharp end and the sun playing ball to say that I was a happy chappie would be an understatement of biblical proportions.
