OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
I have noticed, when looking at my photos, that although I often don’t have a photo to go with a post, I also have photos I never get round to using. With that in mind I’m going to publish some of the photos I took on Monday. They aren’t very good as I’m a bit rusty after months of only photographing coins, but I’m going to make an effort with photography again this year.
Tree – Tagg Lane Dairy
The header picture shows a stand of trees across the road from the dairy. The light was going and it almost came out as black and white. The other is in the garden of the farmhouse, which is intruding slightly into the shot. I’m using the old, small camera, which makes it tricky to frame as there’s a black spot in the picture, which increases with zooming, and which needs to be cropped out.

This was a view across the fields. The sun was just catching the stone wall, but it didn’t add as much colour as I thought it would.
Finally, on the way home, we found a place where sky colour, foreground interest (I use the term loosely) and parking coincided. I know a bad workman always blames his tools, but I’m sure they would have been better with one of the better cameras. Unfortunately I still haven’t learned to use the new one, and the other Olympus has flat batteries.

Those are beautiful winter scenes, Quercus!
Thank you. It is worryingly mild at the moment, but January and February are generally colder than December so we will see what happens.
Good work. I thought that the wall stood out very nicely. It is always good to see an artistic pylon too.
I have just been reading an article on 101 Subjects to photograph this year. I am now writing my own list and will include pylons I like pylons (a) because they are interesting and (b) don’t move.
Point B is the most important.
Yes, it does make things easier.
Lovely, lovely! I am reading this on January 2, and what a wonderful way to start the New Year.
It was. I hope you had a good time celebrating. 🙂
More creative than coins
It is. I was back on coins today, then went on to some 1930s auction catalogues…
