In Mahon

Another quick post this evening as my son and daughter-in-law have been to visit and have only just left.

So, a digital photo I took when we took a trip to Mahon while we were in Menorca. There’s something vaguely Richard Scarry-esque about it. I feel. Maybe Gold Bug is hiding in the scene somewhere. 🙂

Making do

As Flickr seems to be having considerable issues today due to the significant AWS outage, I’m uploading a picture directly for a change.

I’ve just picked something I shot a week ago on my trip to Mablethorpe – the place where The Cut, empties into the North Sea via a concrete outfall. It’s another of those things that I’ve photographed on numerous occasions, but the light is quite nice here.

Scene from a bridge

Another quick post this evening as, this time, I’ve just got back from a trip to the seaside.

So here’s a digital shot I took this morning from the bridge across the River Trent in Gainsborough. I took a film shot from the same location, which I hope will turn out as nicely.

I cropped it to a 6×17 ratio, so it’ll probably look nicer if you click through to the Flickr version.

A figure by a lighthouse

A quick post this evening as I’ve just got back from the cinema (where I saw TRON Ares, which I enjoyed a lot).

Here’s another digital shot from our recent trip to Menorca. This is the Far d’Artrutx lighthouse on the south-western tip of the island. The woman in the shot was there by happenstance, but I think her presence adds a lot to the picture.

Outside a supermarket at blue hour

I spent the last week in Menorca with my wife (I pre-scheduled the posts with the half-frame pictures that have been popping up over the past seven days – I have a bunch more of those and mean, at some point, to post my thoughts on the camera I used to take them).

While we were away, I shot a couple of rolls of film and also took a bunch of pictures with my little Ricoh compact digital camera too, which I’m starting to post-process. Here’s one of them…

In an airport

A couple of edited (and cropped) candid shots that I took while waiting to board our flight home from Barcelona just before Christmas last year.

Sometimes it’s good to sit on pictures for a decent length of time. You see them differently and sometimes find things you like which were previously overlooked.

It’s-a-me!

I was planning of writing a post about a trip to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park today, but I haven’t managed to get around to it. So, instead, here’s a digital shot that I took while on holiday last month. I’ve just treated myself to a Nintendo Switch 2, so it seems kinda apt.

It's-a-me!
