Like the image, like the city, like the car. Nice work Sandeep.

It’s almost always sunny in Ladybirdland and I love that.

I was curious to try out my Canon R100 against the iPhone 17 Pro. Here's what I found... gerrysimonsphoto.blogspot.com/2026/10/cano...

I particularly liked the reflection on the pub window. Almost looked like double-exposure. Another fine post. York is a lovely place but tends to be incredibly busy, more so these days with the ‘Potter’ link, however tenuous.

I know you can’t hold back time but it is still sad to see buildings like this fall into ruin.

‘Bridges’ #blackandwhitephotography #photography
A black and white photo of a footbridge in the lower half of the frame with another overhead. The curve of the lower bridge arcs from the left of the frame to the right. Foliage fills the background.

You write so eloquently about the Pentax 17 and just when I was telling myself that I really, really don’t want one. Then I look at your photographs and I must tell you Andrew, you’re not making my resistance easy.

Impressive. What’s more impressive is that you’re going to dine out from now on. 👍

There’s just no stopping you. Broken winder and still shooting. Seriously, another interesting read and no doubt there will be more anamorphic shenanigans. Looking forward to it.

Another beautiful and restful image. I wish I had time to return to the Lakes. Such a gorgeous place.

Lovely read and photographs. A small moment of calm in my day as I read your words.

Beautiful light from these Dave. (I may have caught up with your posts at last).

Some really lovely black and white work from you LX2. It got me thinking I should get my Canon G7X out once again and give it a go. Not the same as the LX2 but pocketable and worth a go. So after much digging around (it never pays to sort your camera gear out) I found it. Watch this space...

Quite an achievement Dave. I will endeavour to catch up.

Catching up with you again. Such a good post Dave. So many things I can relate to in there. As we get older I really do believe that we grow beyond the pixel chasing and the hardware and move on to the true essence of what capturing moments in time really is about. As always, an inspirational read.

Photo-bombed by a squirrel! #photography #nature #squirrel
A colour photograph of a sundial with a pigeon on top and a squirrel on the base photo-bombing the shot. A brick garden wall and rich foliage make up the background.

Robert M. Pirsig would possibly say that engagement here on BlueSky has ‘Quality’. I would hope so.

'Curving into the distance'. I was drawn to the 'picture within a picture' created by the faming of the brightly it background beyond the shadow cast by the bridge. #blackandwhitephotography #transport #railways #lightandshadow #squareformat
A square black and white photograph of a railway bridge taken from below the bridge and looking along the tracks as they curve into the distance. Gantries holding the electric cables fill the upper part of the frame.

I find this photograph so moving and almost painfully beautiful Deborah. Somehow you have truly distilled a precious moment in time and imbued it with such feeling. I wish both you and your daughter well.
