I really am not interested in any political tweets on here.

#22 Misty Morning down Sandy Lane, 22/01/2025
From this morning. It started out misty and then got mistier so I found a bit of woodland to play in. After a bit of scrambling through the fallen trees I arrived at this spot just as the sun began to dissipate the mist.

#38 Fringed, Trevor Rocks, 16/12/2022
It was a cold and bright walk on this particular day and I rather liked how the snow was spread seemingly at random over the hillside.
This list might be fun for some of you photographers to join bsky.app/profile/flak...

I found David Hurn's book disappointing. Reading is being displaced by time spent on-line but Hurn's photos don't approach the intensity of Kertész's original. Hurn does not even begin to suggest the mystery, the intensity, the strange telepathy that is still available in the experience of reading.
David Hurn.

“One of the things that happens in every country in the world is people read. It’s lovely to read. But we’re at a time now where we’re not quite sure whether, in the future, books on paper are going to disappear.”

So cold. I have been itching to get out with my camera. But with temperatures below zero I found that my feed quickly became just TOO cold. Better temperatures have been promised for next week.

This pub quiz (and the 2 others run by the same quiz-master) was a challenging commission... but great fun. These are far from the 'best of' but a nice reminder...

Spent the morning developing this in LR on my iPad while thinking about what exactly is the ‘reality’ ‘recorded’ or ‘revealed’ in #Monochrome. Applied more than 20 masks in the process. #Lightroom
