I was looking for a specific photo in my archive to send to my sister for a project she has set herself during lockdown 2. I came across some of my old photos which were back in the days when I use to wander around the streets and events with a camera at the ready for anything that caught my eye. It made me feel very nostalgic and sad that I don't do that these days. It was fun. Here are some random images all one off grabshots at various places around UK and in mainland Europe. Hope they raise a smile in these troubled times. These guys had been jet skiing and thought it was a good idea to bring their works van (boss didn't know!!) to the incoming tideline to pick up their jetski more easily......errr No. A local farmer eventually towed them out as the tide reached the door sills.

I wasn't sure if this should be titled ...Heads or Tails. But since the girl missed her helmet maybe a simple ...Missed.  Click here to comment on this image. Viking festival at York....I have loads of close ups and bizarre mixes of ye olde and the ye newe together  Click here to comment on this image.

Nice work Eric. No reason after the Covid situation is cleared that you shouldnt go and stalk the streets of Kings Lynn. Get some more fine captures!

Those were good Eric. Sometimes it's good to look at your old photos and the memories they bring.

One thing I hate about the ageing process is it robs you of enthusiasm. I really wish I could raise the impetus to get out and do this sort of photography again.

Nice images, I use my blog to record horsey things I do and it is always nice to go back and read it and see the associated pictures. Unlike your professional quality photos taken on good quality cameras, mine tend to be taken on either my tiny Canon Ixus or a phone which means they won't win any prizes but they do their job of rekindling old memories. This one is actually a frame of video taken on an early go cam - on a gallop over the sands into the sea at Lochgilphead one of the horses decided to have a roll - dumping the lady rider, a reporter for the Daily Mail, totally under the waves. She was the only one on the ride to have NOT brought a change of clothes despite having been advised to!  Earlier - she is on the horse on the right -

They aren't top quality photos because there was no ability to manage the lighting or little time to set the scene. See, point, shoot. Under those situations, it doesn't really matter what you record it on...as long as you have it with you and use it. These days, the bigger the equipment bag the less likely I am to even bother to take it out with me, unless it's an organised specific photographic outing. This is where phones and compacts can really score. The crazy thing is that these days I only view images on an iPad ...and I don't need a 25mp+ DSLR for that. My wife is now exclusively using an iPhone 11Pro.....hasn't used her DSLR camera for well over a year. Her photos are still high photographic standard because she uses the same techniques and skills she learnt to use on a DSLR....on the iPhone. I think it's recognising the limitations of the device and working within its limits.

Thanks Eric enjoyed looking at them! I must get my camera out again one day soon. Have been very busy putting together my Zoom presentation for the camera club: "Then and Now 60 years a photographer."
