Smegging ell !! a weekend to forget !!

Well the car was fixed with a new crank sensor on Thursday only for the battery to die on Saturday...so until I can save some dish it will be walking or public transport.
Also Liam's team were defeated Sunday in the bitter cold but hey always next week.

Finally got out for an hour with the camera today and just mucked about a bit more on manual which I say is far better than auto for me now.
Had a wander around Lodmoor reserve and it is very much iced over but with the sun beaming down it give a lovely look although a wee bit nippy.

Hopefully popping down to Radipole tomorrow with flask ;-)

Just one image from today wander more later

take care

Tuesday's titbit

Well Tuesday has been quiet as the youngest is still home unwell, I have not managed to get out again so I am awaiting Thursday when the car is in the garage, I can then pop down a lane and I will be at the back off the Fleet so the camera will be out.
I will be taking loads off shots and trying a few things I have seen on forums etc.
Getting nippy but I quite like it (my body doesn't) now the leaves are losing their stance the frosts should make nice features for the camera's eye.
I am still not well enough to stand in the cold and do any fishing but hey I will again asap, there is not many anglers out and about anyway atm due to the drop in temp.
Sadly my sister has had some bad news this week so BIG hugs to her ;-)
Must also have a massive laugh at Arse an all's results so far this week so HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Sorry but I enjoyed that.Today's picture was taken 2 weeks ago on a walk in 2 Mile Coppice.

Take care

Monday morning blues

Well it's Monday morning after a quiet weekend, I didn't manage to get out apart from Liam's football match (won 6-0) as James came home Friday poorly and although the sky and sea are blue atm James is still at home poor chap,
I am hoping to get out this week with the camera but not fishing as my back is killing me and the cold nights will make it worse but hey at least I can watch Tottenham win again this week after turning over the goon squad Saturday.
The hardest bit is at the weekend when Spurs play Liverpool, knowing I want Liverpool to win but that will hurt my 2nd team spurs lol.

Anyway I am gonna try and be creative this week down on the beach I have watch several videos on how to play with seascapes so I will see if they work out on my Bridge camera.

Have a good one

Pat

Friday already !!

Well the weekends nearly here once more and all I can hope for is less bloody pain, must be the wet and wind making me feel uurgghh or aaarggh atm.
Anyway always someone worse off .
I took delivery of a cheap 2.2 telephoto lens which I can use with the lens adapter I have so will try and get some good tests in next week.
Also practise some indoor stuff as My youngest Son is playing Dopey in the school play soon.
I need to do a "paperclip" test on the car to find this fault that keeps popping up so lets hope its a simple fix.
Plans for the weekend ? nothing as yet apart from Liam's football on Sunday (if pitch playable).Pat

I hate reinstalling PC's

Yep
Decided it was time to clean the system and now Updates are invading me.
Anyway Saturday was a good day as we (Jen,James,Liam and I) had a gentle stroll in the woods (Jen needs better footwear than trainers hehe.
Saturday night we went over to Southill fireworks which was one of the best displays I have seen in a while but not for photography, there were wires, corners off buildings in my shots and if I would have moved it would have been trees grrr.
Anyhow spent some time in editing and removed obstructions as best I could.
Sunday Liam and I were across at a very wet Wimbourne in the cup and proceeeded to be knocked out 7-1 which we didn't really care as it gives us some Sundays off (hopefully).
Poor Liam sat in the car in my tshirt and a towel wrapped around him for the journey home as he only took spare socks hmm.
Monday was boringly busy with food shopping and washing but later today I am hoping to pop down Radipole and take some shots (with the camera)

2 day washout

Oh well 2 days off rain and wind so roll on Saturday when the weather is suppose to be dry and bright, I will slam in the pain killers and make the most of it with a walk with the Boys and then  fireworks at night.
The camera will be over worked tomorrow I am sure and Littlun has checked his camera is charged so hey ho and away we go......in the morning lol.

Anybody want any pain I have bucket loads spare and free delivery ;-)

Ok today's photo is where we will be heading tomorrow but it won't be this dry under foot.

It be Wednesday and I didn't get out until this afternoons Hospital appointment so again Picture-less, the weather is not looking good for the next 2 days but I am going to try and get out for some wave shots if possible during these high winds.
I will also be trying some macro on manual just to see what I can create.
I also await Saturdays firework display so I can get something better than this

    

    We will see !!!

Bit wet eh ?

Well another day picture less but I am hoping to pop out tomorrow if time permits, I want to continue my manual setting practise and possibly shutter speed with my now arrived ND filters.
So in the mean tine here is a bright picture among these grim skies.

Take care
