A very good friend of mine, @celestasart.bsky.social , features in a wonderful article about Thundercats and the fandom. She’s an extremely talented artist, and this article is pretty much an ‘Origin Story’ for her artistic endeavours. Please read it here: www.gpeterlawrence.com/celesta-john...

A few infra red shots from my Lumix G3.

Playing with the One Spot Colour option on my Lumix TZ90 on Southend Pier yesterday - though, given the overcast nature of the weather, I could probably have got the same look just shooting in colour!

I’ve had this Olympus XA for a long while now, but I lost it in my house and have been looking for it. Last night, I found it - it had somehow got under my armchair (I can only assume I knocked it off my side table and forgot about it.

Around Basildon - all taken on my Lumix LX7

It’s been a little while since I posted some older pictures, so here are four from #irphotography shots from Greece in 2024. All taken on a home converted Lumix TZ20 compact camera (now, alas, deceased) and edited in Snapseed

Not sure what this plant is called - I got it in the local Lidl in the spring as a ‘bee and butterfly friendly plant’. It’s been flowering since I planted it, but it’s really come on strong in the cooler weather (when the bees and butterflies are not around!)

Bargain lunch! The Marmite added a nice touch to the cheese. M&S has a bit of a thing with Marmite - I had the Cauliflower Cheese with Marmite yesterday and it was rather good. Marmite and cheddar go together well.

As I’m starting to head out a little further (hopefully to improve mobility in the right leg), here are some new pictures from Southend yesterday - taken on my Lumix LX7.

Here’s another batch of past pictures, this time from my mini-break to Newcastle, and taken on various cameras (the b&w ones are from my IR converted Lumix G3)

In case anyone was wondering why I’m posting old pictures I’ve taken - I’ve been laid up with a broken ankle for the last couple of months, and haven’t been out with any of my cameras for quite a while, so I’m posting some of the least worst pictures I’ve taken until I can get out there again.

I’m posting a few more pictures from my many and various photographic devices. These were taken at the Geevor Tin Mine in Cornwall back in 2021 on My LUMIX GX9 using the 12-32mm ‘pancake’ lens.

Another day, another selection of my old pictures! Taken on a variety of cameras; the sparrow on a Lumix TZ60, Hadleigh Castle in an IR-converted Lumix TZ20, Brandi Clark on my iPhone 12PM, and the blossom on my Lumix TZ90.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night! Another few pictures from my various trips out with an assortment of cameras. This time, one of my favourite film cameras, an Olympus is-3000, using Kentmere 400. Basildon town centre.

Some old pictures from my ‘archive’ - these were taken on an Olympus is-3000 using Kodak TMax 3200. All taken whilst walking through Basildon After missing the last bus home.

@goodomenshq.bsky.social My early bird copy, with slipcase, bookmark, and pins arrived on Friday and are an utter delight! Thank you to all concerned!

I’ve added a couple of new short videos to my #nonsportscards YouTube channel, if anyone might be interested! youtube.com/@ukcardcast6...

I have paused my Disney+ subscription. If they restore Jimmy Kimmel and his entire staff, I’ll restore the subscription; if not, I’ll cancel it. Paramount is an annual subscription, but that’s getting cancelled, regardless of how much Star Trek I haven’t got to yet.

My YouTube podcast, One Card At A Time, where I show one non-sport trading card from my collection, is online here: youtube.com/@ukcardcast6... Production values are basic! Please give it a go if the subject matter interests you, and if you enjoy it, please feel free to like and subscribe! #podcast

In a former life, I hosted a podcast about the world of non-sport trading cards (called U.K. CardCast). A couple of years ago, I revived it as a YouTube channel, releasing a couple of short videos about one card per episode, entitled “One Card At A Time”. youtu.be/h2Qwd6z6hkw?...

A blast from the past - Olympus Trip 35 and Washi 50.

Bored sitting around with a broken ankle, so started to take pictures of stuff around the house on my LX7.

Teasels.

The slow, long term, conversion of the front patch of overgrowth is ongoing. Shane about the wasp nest in the tree stump…

It’s been raining.

Things are beginning to fruit up…

Those punks in Camden Market with their spiky hair and the confrontational glare…

A cropped zoom of a Common Brimstone , yesterday.

Because some of us are still using an iPod Shuffle (well, if I can remember where I put one of them, three 4th gen ones!), I am so glad that there are sellers on eBay who have new/old stock of the charge cables… (I bought two sets, just in case)

Playing with a Pentax-M 28mm lens on my GX9 (using a Pixco focal reducer adapter), Chalkwell, Essex.

Orange twine, for no readily apparent reason (TZ90-a, Snapseed)

It’s not often one wakes up to a view of a Concorde… (admittedly using the zoom lens on my TZ90-a from my room in the Premier Inn Heathrow Terminal 4

Nice to see you here, @beckadoodles.bsky.social - I look forward to seeing all your sparkly glitteryness here!
