I heard some very good news today. My son, who a few weeks ago was told he wouldn’t have a job at the end of his apprenticeship, was today informed that he had been successful in his interview for another job that he attended last week. It’s in the same field as his apprenticeship, so he will be able to put his experience to good use and further develop his career. I’m so very proud and happy for him.
This is a very nice thing to happen just before Christmas. 🙂
My son isn’t called “Lynn” but the picture seemed a good fit for the post.

Apologies for a lack of words in my recent posts. I’ve had a few very busy days and no real time to think what to write, so I’ve just been throwing images up and leaving it there. Today’s post isn’t much different, but hey, a few sentences at least! I may get chance to write something with a little more substance tomorrow.

A quartet of pictures that I took while inside King’ Lyn Minster. While I don’t think the photos themselves are particularly outstanding, I am extremely impressed by the vibration control on the Tamron lens.
It was pretty dim inside the minster, as such places often tend to be, and I was shooting Ilford Delta 100 film, hardly the best choice for handheld photography in such conditions. The available light meant that I was getting shutter speeds of 1/10 sec to 1/20 sec, even with the lens as wide open as I could get it (f/3.5 is the widest it will go, but that drops down if you start to use even a small amount of zoom). I did brace myself against walls and columns where I could but, even so, those are impressively slow shutter speeds for handheld pictures.
The fact that these pictures are sharp (although with a little drop-off in focus because of the aperture) is a big confidence boost for my trust in this lens’s capabilities.
