Picked up the “new to me” van Wednesday. The novelty quickly wore off at a couple of width/weight restricted bridges. Will try and do some arty shots on the building site, tip, builders merchants etc. Though unless it’s moving fast with a number stuck on it, it’s not really my thing.😂

A couple from yesterday’s testing at Brands Hatch. Not much of interest on track. A mate was testing but didn’t even make it off the trailer with a water leak. In other news a sad day, the Yeti is going. It’s done me well other than the persistent water leaks into the cabin. Picking up a defender next week then gonna de-bling it with some white wheels and a Massey Ferguson rusty red wrap.🤣

A few shots from Brands Hatch today.

Messing about with AI. Given my yeti a rocket bunny makeover..🤣

Another marmite arty image for the bohemians..😃

A few from Brands Hatch yesterday.

A compact camera might be the way to go. Check out the Panasonic lumix range or canon powershot range. Should be able to find something to suit most budgets. My personal favourite is a fujifilmX100VI.

Going through some old shots from Knockhill, found this one which I quite like. Not sure how I missed it first time around.

Giacopazzis, just by the harbour. Top notch, though occasionally get the odd arse end bit of fish,

Popped over to the east coast, a quick shot of Lower Burnmouth and some onion rings from Eyemouth like nothing I’ve seen before!

Not strictly photo’s, some album covers I had framed for the new hallway. Going on a plaster coloured wall with black and white chequer floor, so chosen more for the colours the colours than anything else. A remastered camera phone shot of Edinburgh Castle, used a bit of AI to tidy up the pavement area.

Now found a home for them, Will post an image when they’re framed.

Didn’t go too far Graham, been in the Scottish Borders the last couple of years, converting a property. Didn’t fancy risking the post in case they were damaged. Needed the break from the work anyhow. Though after the train and fighting my way along Princess Street I need another day off!

Ventured up to Edinburgh by train to pick up some vinyl. Just after the covers for framing and hanging. Anyone want some sleeveless records??🤣🤣 grabbed a couple of shots with the camera phone.

A favourite spot of ours. The only official desert in the uk. Enjoy popping along there for a bit of photography with the hoards. Then getting fished out on lobster rolls at the shack, fish and chips at the Pilot, and a splurge at the fishmongers opposite. Has to be done though takes me a while to get over it tbh 😀

Slowish pan at 1/20th sec. Cameras electronics kept the car nice and sharp.

Knockhill Rally event. Starting to get used to the camera, A firmware update seems to have made the focusing less unpredictable Found a panning assist mode too which works best in shutter priority mode. The weakest link was me with remnants of man flu and a sleepless night and it was bloody cold!

Over at Eyemouth today with the R3.

A few from today. Stayed at a local stately pile over xmas. Back to the lodge tomorrow morning. Also a snap of an old sign which caught my eye a little while ago.

Out and about today, picking up a new floor. Snapped Floors Castle on the camera phone as I was passing.

Hi Lee. You haven’t missed a post as such other than a couple of images of the roof when we finished it as it was quite a mission. It’s more project material than photography so I don’t normally post here except if I’m feeling except pleased with myself🤣 It’s a cemetery gatehouse in the Scottish Borders. Last used by the council for their park keepers etc. We’re extending and converting it. Doing most of the work ourselves.

Plasterer turned up last week and rendered the extension. Had a tidy up and put the fence back up. Looking more complete new guttering and some painting left to finish the outside. We also managed to save the old front doors and use internally which was quite pleasing, not least the £500+ saved for new doors.

A couple of shots from a local flower show and a quick visit to Beamish

Last piece went on the roof today.

A few shots from Knockhill today.
