It looks as though it's going to be a bad year for short-eared owls, so tonight I'm going to share a few images taken at Elmley nature reserve a couple of years ago.

It was a bitterly cold day in Camden Town and one girl serving in this outdoor cafe began to cry. She was being comforted by her friend. I moved over and grabbed the shot in a matter of seconds. They weren't aware they were being photographed #photography #streetphotography

I can't edit tonight because I have a purring Bubu on my lap. So, here are a few from 20 years ago. All taken on my Olympus OM2n using Ilford HP5. This was a true candid. I arrived at the top of this staircase as the boys began messing around. I have this printed and framed with me in the study 😊

If some of you haven't already lost the will to live, this is what I meant about colour spaces. This image was created using ProPhoto RGB in Lightroom and looks fine on my PC. However, this is how it looks saved as a JPG using the same colour space, but within iDrive on the internet

It seems as if another aurora is kicking off right now, but we have 100% cloud until at least Wednesday. To stop myself from feeling sad, this was taken on 10th May 2024. We could actually see the pillars of light moving with our naked eyes. A night I will never forget 😊

I've been struggling the past few days, so apologies for not posting. I thought I would dig out some more film stuff. Old hoarding down on the coast somewhere. Taken with my 1940 Leica IIIb and 1938 5cm Summar lens. (You want to see how sharp this is at 100%) 😊

Put him to sleep?
In Trump’s vengeful, crazed message to letter to the Prime Minister of Norway, he links his demand to seize Greenland to the fact that he didn’t win a Nobel Peace Prize.
When a president is old & no longer able to make rational decisions that are in the interest of his country, what do we do?

Do any of my photographer friends do monitor calibration? I had a Huey for years until a Windows upgrade killed it off. My husband bought me a replacement SpyderPro a few years ago, but I've just had an e-mail saying it will stop working soon. I have a 50% discount on a new Spyder. Any thoughts? 🙂

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,
The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance
Iconic imo

It had been a very long day, but as we were heading back across the altiplano, our hire car broke down. We sat on the side of the road for hours until a bus load of workers stopped to help. We piled on board and made it back to Arequipa. I hope the driver was able to get it fixed quickly #travel

Three from one day in Peru - 1991. Due to the Shining Path and cholera, nobody wanted to do this trip, except me. The company guaranteed to go with just 2 people, so they talked another lady off one trip and on to mine. I asked for Colca Canyon to be added. Active volcano on the way out #travel
