Been out #night doing street #photography, as in photos of streets. 😆

It was misty out but the light was quite bewitching (even on the estate)

The orange street lights made a better image, so I converted the white light to b&w

Today it was raining on our adventure. But there were surprise woodland cows! Still hadn't got a proper camera 🤦‍♂️

Sometimes, I get a beautiful and amazing reminder of how lovely autumn is and how lucky I am to live where I do! But also how I really need to go back to carrying a proper camera.

A film you've seen more than 7 times with a gif

(only there are no gifs of this classic!) 😢

Is there any specific requirements to use the tag #nerdlings? I might eventually get round to doing, and posting some of my amateurish efforts at #miniature painting & #modelling - can I just use it for anything of that nature or is it something specific?

Beautiful morning on #cannockchase pure blue clear skys and quiet, surprising as the carparks were full.

The composure looked good, with the path snaking off and disappearing, and the hard side light... but the tree is too big I think.

Just realised I'm a week early for halloween. My pumpkin will be looking decidedly worse for wear by then...

Just because its really important to fight for truth, particularly when it comes to minorities and those at risk of being demeaned by irresponsible false information.

All those surrounding buds have bloomed. Looks almost like I know how to grow roses.

Late blooming rose, was surprised to see this today after the strong winds and rain. Looks like we have some more blooms on the way too. #flower #rose #garden #pottedplants #photography

Is this likely to strip the paint (and undercoat) off plastic #warhammer miniatures from the 90's (in case the plastic has changed). They are painted in #citadel paints, but not sure what was sprayed as undercoat.

Took this a few weeks ago and didn't think it turned out as well as I hoped. Just seen it again, and I quite like it now. Still, shame about the van 🚚
