Camera-toting old duffer in North Wales, UK, hoping to one day produce something worthwhile before I cark it. Hiding in plain sight, swimming against the tide in a sea of indifference. #LFC. flickr.com/photos/grahamkidd www.streetseen.org.uk

There are many bonkers museums in the UK, and Southport's Lawnmower Museum must be one of the most bonkers. If you hanker to see lawnmowers that once belonged to Paul O'Grady, Eric Morecambe, Nicholas Parsons & Jean Alexander (Hilda Ogden), this is for you. #photography #fotografie #fotografia

More fun and/or games with LightRoom Classic. For no obvious reason, it just dropps out; no error messages, just stops. Reorganising the catalogue didn't work, so I'm trying the same fix that worked when the catalogue was corrupted a while ago: opening a new catalogue and importing from the old one.

This is the Konica Minolta Dimage Z2, a 4MP camera from the mid-noughties. I have one, bought recently for £20, to relive the joy of owning and using it. It doesn't disappoint. But - honestly, has there ever been a prettier camera? (Stock image - not mine.) #photography #fotografie #fotografia

A windswept coastal landscape in black and white, with a heavily pruned, leafless tree dominating the right foreground. Fallen branches and exposed roots spread across the grass beneath it. Beyond, broad marshy fields lead to a calm sea and a low, distant headland. Dramatic layered clouds fill much of the sky, creating a stark, atmospheric and melancholic mood.

It's a little disconcerting how bits of technology that were once taken for granted, everyday items are quietly "disappeared". Floppy disc drives, then CD/DVD rewriters in PCs. Cars no longer have CD players, which is annoying. I bought a JVC hi-fi system last week. No headphone socket. Really???
