It's time, it's time

and I'm back to share something else.

I have been busy shooting film, developing and scanning negatives. It is all very enjoyable and it is nice to see that the results are becoming more and more predictable and consistent. The current grey weather is perfect for black and white (although I really need to get a yellow filter) and it is fun to shoot my usual selection of stuff from the tripod.

Not a great lot else to report- feel free to let me know what you think of these photos!

I am going to see more movies this year

and started off the year with Nebraska today. It was most enjoyable and has put me in the mood to get into the cinema and keep up-to-date.

I'm heading out again tomorrow to take some more photos and looking forward to that. The weather should hold until we are finished which makes things much more pleasant. I've just been reading about the snow and ice storms racing across North America at the moment...... has me thinking about buying an even warmer jacket!

The duck for dinner was good. Thanks!

A weekend of not getting much done

is not a bad plan from time to time. We each did our own stuff on Saturday but met in town for an early dinner of tacos. They were pretty good and better than Catherine remembered from last time, so it should be easy enough to convince her to go back to that restaurant.

I developed a roll of film this morning and shot some more digital stuff for my Oktoberfest Challenge. It is coming along nicely and with only another week and a half to go, I'm pretty confident that I should be able to bring it home in good shape.

Put up your hand

if you are not happy that it is the weekend again! I am looking forward to taking some more photos, doing a little shopping, eating a nice meal or two and getting some sleep.
Oh! Is that the time?

Put your hand up if you are not having a birthday this month

as it certainly looks as if everyone is! We are having a guest for dinner tomorrow evening and we may even sit out on the balcony- now that is something special in the summer that never was.

My new tripod head makes life more enjoyable....

so enjoyable in fact, that I took it for a walk up the hill this evening in order to grab a shot of a lovely old tree in the beautiful light. Lots of fun.

The warm weather is coming back

and that is good news for me. Although I enjoy autumn and winter, I am not yet ready to pack my shorts and polo shirts away for the year. Still have some bike riding to do and hopefully a few barbecues too.
