Living in Corfu, Greece. Aging eclectic photographer and vintage camera collector. Nowadays very much into home film developing but no longer into home printing. :-( I occasionally waffle on about vintage cameras on my website bobgilesphotos.com

Last year I visited Gloucestershire, England. One of the places that I visited was a 'sculpture trail' in Woorgreens. The attached is possibly the most impressive 'sculpture'. #Panasonic_DC-Lumix_G9 #14-140mm_zoom
This image shows a track through woodland with a large stained glass window suspended on a framework constructed from large pine tree trunks. It is entitled "Cathedral Sculpture" by Kevin Atherton.

I recently obtained a Konica FT-1 Motor with Interval Timer attached. Disregarding the interval timer, this could easily become my favourite Konica SLR. Yes, I have a few! Shots from my first roll of Kentmere 100. #Konica_FT-1 #FilmIsNotDead #Kentmere_100 #Adox_HC-110

Konica FP-1, Is It A Point & shoot SLR?
Introduction I must confess that I really like Konica cameras and lenses, in particular their range of Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras and their Hexanon range of lenses. They were, in the main, robust and built to high standards. The later models, like so many cameras employed a lot of plastic in their construction. Even so, the build quality wasn't generally bad.

Although Corfu can be quite wet in winter, we have the occasional bright sunny days. (It's still quite cold though!) This is a four shot panorama from our veranda, merged in Lightroom Classic taken with a Sony A7 and 50mm/f1.8 lens. #panorama #Corfu #Greece #Albania #Sony_A7
