Old chap. mostly here to post photos but might occasionally stray into politics (apologies, I just can't help myself!).
I'm a long term Pentax SLR/dSLR user and currently have a couple of K3s. One with a 70-200mm and the other with a 17-50mm

Gosh - I've not posted here for 4 months!!!
This #photo made me think of an old film called On Golden Pond.
Except that's the #Mediterranean rather than a pond. The photo was taken early on a November morning from the balcony of our hotel room in #Torremolinos.

A few years ago we had a wet week in north Devon. I guess us photographers make the best of what we have available.

I'm normally absolutely crap at this sort of photo. However, for once, it came out OK

Crikey! It's coming up to ten tears since we stayed in the left hand, downstairs apartment overlooking #Windermere.
Happily the lake wasn't an open sewer back then!

The "joys" (AKA lack of quality) of affordable digital photography in 2001. My poor #Olympus 2MP camera wasn't really up to the job. FWIW I think the best dSLR at the time was 4MP. It was also a week before Christmas Day and was bloody freezing!

Just one of the magical things about #Venice is that some canals have been filled in to make them streets. If you get a chance to visit, these street names start Rio Tera.
And some have additional clues such as on Rio Tera Antonio Foscarini - bricked-up arches!

I wonder whether this qualifies as #street #photography.
I was wandering around #London taking photos of things, not people and as I was about to cross the #Thames from Bankside over the #Millennium #Bridge, I looked up and thought: "Yep! That's worth photographing"

And the other side from Campo Santo Stefano (apologies for the quality, my PP skills have improved over the last 13 years 😀)

I wonder whether there is a connection between these {insert your own (h)armless joke here}.
One seen proudly on display in #Oslo back in 2004, the other looking somewhat forlorn alongside a #canal in #Venice in 2013.

#Venice is so magical that seeing real people do real work there seems odd. And does being on a boat still count as #street #photography?
