I left WDPC Photography Club

 I didn't rejoin WDPC in 2019, I just didn't have enough time while contracting for work, and with the lockdown etc all the meetings would be via Zoom or whatever - I didn't really fancy that.

I closed my IT contracting company "Heylowe LTD" due to no work during the pandemic, 

But, I did manage to get new full-time employment at the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital - So have been working all the way through lockdown, as it's The NHS...

Not much photography taking place lately but I did shoot a wedding at the end of October 2021.

A few shots from the wedding are below. 

Maybe next year I will rejoin WDPC to try and relight my fire...

Dexy's Midnight Runners

Dear Robin

Hope you dont mind me writing, its just that theres more than one thing I

need to ask you. If youre so anti-fashion, why not wear flares, instead of

dressing down all the same. Its just that looking like that I can express

my dissatisfaction.

Dear Robin

Let me explain, though youd never see in a million years. Keep quoting

Cabaret, Berlin, Burroughs, J.G. Ballard, Duchamp, Beauvoir, Kerouac,

Kierkegaard, Michael Rennie. I dont believe you really like Frank Sinatra.

Dear Robin

Youre always so happy, how the hell do you get your inspiration? Youre

like a dumb patriot. If youre supposed to be so angry, why dont you fight

and let me benefit from your right? Dont you know the only way to change

things is to shoot men who arrange things, 

Dear Robin

I would explain but youd never see in a million years. Well, youve made

your rules, but we dont know that game, perhaps Id listen to your records

but your logics far too lame and Id only waste three valuable minutes of

my life with your insincerity.

You see Robin, Im just searching for the young soul rebels,

and I can't find them anywhere.

Where have you hidden them?

Maybe you should welcome the new soul vision.

New camera purchased last week - Canon EOS 5DMK4

THEME

MIDSUMMER MACRO

Amongst Butterflies

The sunny sand we ran along

Every day began upon

The summer's kiss of love and adventure

And every June that we fell into

Left a mark upon us too

Etched forever as a moment we'd remember

And we'd remember

The empty woods where we played

Every hour of every day

The holidays went on forever

And in the woods was a soldier's tomb

The ghost of which looked over you

And God was there amongst the trees

We felt his whisper as the summer's breeze

And every night and every day

I learnt to love it in a special way

As I remember

What it's like to walk amongst butterflies

Ooh, butterflies

Yeah, butterflies

Ooh, butterflies

And in the woods was a soldier's tomb

The ghost of which looked over you

And God was there amongst the trees

We felt his whisper as the summer's breeze

And every night and every day

Touch my soul that way

As I remember

What it's like to walk amongst butterflies

Butterflies

Paul Weller

Fly on the Wall

Where angels meet - their words are whispers

As sea touches shore - the clouds move swiftly

And me, so small

Compared to it all

Like a fly on the wall

As pieces sweep

Their meaning is still no clearer

And under my feet

There's nothing to stop my own free fall

Down and down I go

And compared to it all

I'm a fly on the wall

Our children sleep

Resting our hopes and wishes

The night in between

I'm casting my scope, just fishing

Uhh, and in spite of it all

Oh, I look at me so small

And compared to it all

I'm a fly on the wall

And compared to it all

I'm a fly on the wall

BOATSCAPE - WELLS

15/20

Judge: Andy Swain, LRPS

Comments...

Like the simplicity of the Pylon image and Mono suited it.

The judge thought it was mud in the foreground,

 but its actually a crop in a farmers field.

Judge didn't like the title Boatscape!

Thought the lighting was fake but actually its exactly as it was - but slightly exaggerated in post-processing.

The photo was taken at dusk in Wells Norfolk.

Judge Adrian Stone

The judge liked the Fly Agaric...

the simplicity and the textured background.

He suggested a more comical title for the Ladybird image

may have added a couple more points.

Judges!!! lol
