  1. First off ……..A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL AT TIPF.! This is a portrait of a pro photographer friend of mine, about to demonstrate his new Leica INSTAX , camera, it produces small, instant prints, on chemical impregnated cards, which are sold in packs. It was fascinating to see the camera, do its stuff, but it isn’t for me. ‘My friend will use it as part of his family portrait , business. Apparently Fuji co-operated with Leica in the design and manufacture of these INSTAX camera’s the FUJI version is identical, except it produces Fujifilm colours, the Zleica colours are different. This portrait was shot with my , recently acquired 8 year old Leica Q camera…. a camera with oodles of punch despite being the first in the range, Leica are up to the Q3 now, a very expensive toy… My Q , hasn’t the larger sensor, or waterproofing of the later models, but it does have exactly the same, incredible 2.8 lens…which, if purchased separately for a M10 would cost as much as a Leica camera…crazy prices. An update, on my health and wellbeing, sadly my wife’s dementia is worsening, so, I now shop and cook for three…. My heart faliure is under control, but my chronic Kidney Disease is worsening. So I’ve put myself on a , kidney friendly diet, which is very challenging; my next blood test will , reveal whether I’ve managed to improve things. My mobility is restricted to a mobility scooter, so I’m seeing the world from much lower down. I am still, painting and Woodturning, in between photography and chores… FUJI
  2. Plump Red Rose-Hips , shot from my Leica Q macro setting . I’m feeling very sore just now, last Monday morning I rolled my mobility scooter, I was trapped beneath it for around 15 minutes, until neighbours heard my frantic shouts for help. I spent a good few hours in A & E , but after a full check up and 7 x-rays, no broken bones were discovered….a week later I am in agony , with severe bruising…. All because a bag hand,e caught on my mobility scooter reverse lever….a stupid mistake, by a stupid old fogey. Such is life ! FUJI!
  3. Cheers Clicker, Have you ever tried to lurk in a bright blue mobility scooter ? I can take far less candid shots now…. Also, I have a, child’s eye view of the world….quite a drastic shift. FUJI.
  4. Because of my rather delicate metabolism recently, I suffered a nasty allergic reaction to these horrors. They are harmless to all, in natural numbers but mine went bananas. Antihistamine ointment and tablets put me right in about a week……. My eyebrows and forehead were raw. Not nice at all. FUJI
  5. I had difficulty categorising this photograph of me, shot by my good pal, part time carer and good friend in Coventry City Centre last week . The other is just one of my many, Street, shots. FUJI
  6. For the next few days I will be taking a break from using my usual FUJI RX100 V camera, instead I am using, my PANASONIC GX 9 fitted with a vintage JUPITER 8 film camera lens, so fully manual. I shot a few Street Candids, and in between that, I focused on all kinds of flowers and plants seen on my journey into town. let’s see if they upload ok. Comment's and observations very welcome FUJI
  7. Thank you , positive feedback motivates me to continue , to shoot at least one decent Street Photograph a day. FUJI
  8. You are right Polly , I haven’t driven fir many years now, after two significant health issues, the first was when I broke both legs, and didn’t walk properly again for 18 months, then a couple of years later I required serious retinal surgery , after which, I see clearly without specs, but see two of everything. I wear specs with a strong left-eye prism which corrects the double vision up to a point. such is life ! FUJI
  9. Thank you Polly and Mark for the positive feedback. ‘Yes! I am settling in to shooting from my new, low, angle, it took some getting used to , at first. FUJI
  10. A good four hours of Street Photography in Leamington Spa made me very happy , if extremely cold at one point. I have to be with a minder now, a good photographer pal, who is still strong enough to take apart , then re-assemble my mobility scooter for transporting in the boot of his car, to, and from. We aim to have at least one , Street Photo shoot , a month, in different places . My current theme, is, Small Town Candids , during which I attempt to appear invisible to my subjects , whilst being as close as possible, not easy in a mobility scooter , I use tried and tested diversionary tactics as demonstrated by the famous photographer Gary Winogrand . FUJI
  11. Apologies, I realise now, that I should have thanked Hatter, not Rye….. please put it down as an….old thing. ‘’FUJI
  12. WOW! That is a fantastic surprise , Thank You Rye. Using those DIY lenses gives me great pleasure , I must admit that the results surprised me greatly too. The DOF is extremely shallow because both are used wide open, this gives the misty, dream-like atmosphere of most of them. I have created a slideshow of about 80 of them , set to choral music , they combine to produce a very pleasant photographic experience. FUJI
  13. Here you go, Polly, I found them in my archive. FUJI
