I have loads of places to go but I've just been going to one place as I can't find the drive to go anywhere else.

I think one of the problems is, when you are paid for your photographic work, there is a greater impetus to get on with it. Not just because of the £££ but the accountability. When someone needs something on a deadline it brings more.... 'enthusiasm'.

Have been very busy putting together my Zoom presentation for the camera club: "Then and Now 60 years a photographer." Thx....just bit of fun really. Being involved with clubs and associations is a good way to stimulate creativity. For one thing, having a joint photographic subject hit list, and a completion deadline, can be helpful motivation.

I really wish I could raise the impetus to get out and do this sort of photography again. Well I don't recognised that, my enthusiasm is very high indeed. I have just bought a Rodenstock APO Ronar, 105mm f/9 lens to use for flower image stacking, it's insanely sharp and has lovely rendition, my friend is making up an adapter so I can mount it on my D800. Probably use the PB4 bellows for now until I can make up my own stepping camera mount. With a lens like this you can literally paint focus. On top of that I am rebuilding two Landrovers, my enthusiasm is boundless, right now my ability and energy is very low due to being in hospital recovering from corona virus but hopefully after convalescence I have so many plans, collating and finishing the images for the book and finally publishing it on line. During my enforced period of idleness I have been researching some project management software which will hopefully keep me on track. I find project management software very useful for projects like vehicle rebuilding, my original software goes back to about 1989, Claris- MacProject, I love it but it didn't get updated for the millennium date changes, so became very hard work to use, Excell is ok but lacks the functionality of proper project management software. So having chosen what I think is a good replacement I'm looking forward to contacting the vendor, a Canadian company just to confirm it's suitably for my needs. Then I will start another little adventure getting it set up and keeping my projects on track. I started this reply on my iPhone but it is a nightmare to use on this site, I had to dig out my old iPad to edit the mess!
