I do remember that I liked the slightly random in focus/out-of-focus that the depth-of-field caused by the auto settings created in my photo... it's a bit like minimalist music, in that it's repetitive, but also not repetitive at all... kind of draws one in, but there's nothing specific to look at.

^Lens flare looks good^
Bluebells. Hooray!
Not wanting to ruin the illusion, but not in the woods, in the verge.

Rumours of the Aurora kicking off. Anyone got a more reliable site than FB? I know there was one posted before.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

DTT (Devon tourist tat) - it stayed dark grey rather longer than forecast, but I was glad to have set off when I did: you can see where it all changed for the better in this shot.

Never mind. According to the sites I found you'd have to be in the Shetlands. Bloody FB! 🤬

I probably ought to have been listening to the person who was talking to me rather than eyeing up this shot behind them...

Impromptu moon with substandard moon shot gear. Taken with 10MP camera, 2X tele-converter, and a vintage prime. Cropped to within an inch of its life, then SHAaarpened. Not too shabby.

Liked as I can appreciate the amount of work that's gone into it to achieve the result.
Simply spending thousands on gear makes the achievement easy but possibly less satisfactory. 😉

Might try a lower in the sky effort with some sort of foreground. Or get me something like this😉

Only taken with a phone so nowhere near as much detail, but I think the halo of cloud came out well.

One or two nice ones in the late afternoon light in Topsham...

He turned it up to 11 this evening.
Crocuses.

More bluebells. Same verge, different lens.

My latest acquisition, a silky smooth oldie (1961) in virtually unmarked condition -a lucky find. The lump on the side is a cocking lever that actuates the aperture mechanism, redundant on digital, but who wouldn’t enjoy fiddling with a cocking lever? All this and picked up for next to nothing.
Now the difficult bit, finding something to photograph…in the rain.

1st shot is quite clever. 👏👏👏

Cheers. A bit rushed. I tried to get the writing on the lens in focus as well as the flowers in the centre, whilst keeping the backgroud blurred. Two out of three.

More intriguing than photography, but this was pulled out from behind a skirting board on one of my projects.

At least it wasn't a 'mummified' cat.

In Exeter Cathedral again for a concert... and took the chance to photograph the new flooring in the quire (that's the spelling they use, along with 'virgers'), that'll still be there when I'm long gone.

That's more or less the era when I bought the Times occasionally, as I perceived it as being slightly superior to the parents' daily Telegraph. A pity I didn't keep any, in retrospect.

Actual sunshine today...back to rain again tomorrow😣.

Ha, I've realised that in the middle photo, which I did on vertical panorama, my movement must have been imperfect, as you can see my jiggles in the floor on the lower part. I must admit I'm pleased with the trumpet one: the reflection of one colleague on the bell of another colleague's trumpet. If you can read music, you can also work out what the (famous) piece is.
Have been working while it was sunny today, and cheesed off at the change of tomorrow's forecast from sunny all day (as predicted on Friday) to glooooooooomy all day.

Nothing photographically interesting, but thanks to a closed road, I decided to revisit the view from my kitchen in the late 80s. Stunning stunning view of Dartmoor, but the coldest house I've ever lived in. The toilet froze over in the night one winter ('86 or '88, I forget which).

Given the only photos I've taken today have been of the cloudy scene from my top floor and of the armchair from Ikea that I've assembled (oh, and the extremely tatty chair it replaced), you'd better have the cloudy scene.
(I wouldn't normally take a photo of a tatty chair, but I'm trying to persuade someone local to take it away for free as a reupholstery project, as it's a really comfortable Parker Knoll, and the 50-year-old frame is still in great nick.)
