I also keep weird and wonderful things in a tank full of water.
This is a bubble tip anemone surrounded by various sea mushrooms.
The kaleidoscope of colours it has are truly staggering.

You may or may not have noticed this…
Most of the uk supermarkets have stopped selling mackerel in tins.
Replacing it quietly with shit from South America.
I understand this is due to overfishing…
But this was quietly done hoping people wouldn’t notice, after-all it says mackerel on the tin….

It's been years since I moved away from a dominance of landscape photography in my output, returning back to a dominance of urban work. This one is from a decade ago, shot on my ever trusty (at that time) 5dmkii
10 min exposure.

There are negatives then there are VV negatives.
Compression is not always kind to negative space negs, but these look fine.

These larger sized, 3 image frames from ikea make great homes for roughly 80cm panoramas.
So glad they are now making larger ones
The fit the widelux near perfectly
The face on gets too many reflections from fishtank and window 😂
Side on you can see the image better

Shame on the uk gov for conflating 2 things to guilt layer you into thinking it’s illegal to do street photography.
This was shared on fb, I have checked the veracity and it is a legit uk gov pamphlet
Street photography is not a crime.
Don’t go down the whole every photographer is a pervert route

My postings are still a bit thin on the ground, I am spending far too much time with my reef tanks and not enough time out photographing.

A flattened image from a 360 degree taken by my drone of the uncovered Egyptian Halls Glasgow, it's been covered by scaffolding for about 15 plus years.
The flattened looks like a widelux attached to the drone.
hopefully the 360 which is also here will show.

Film Photography Is Making a Comeback. Just Look at All These New Film Cameras.

I was out with my drone this morning.
It has been a while.
Soon as I put the battery in it stated it was over the class weight.
This was every battery.
All DJI all marked 249g
Anyone else seen this with a firmware update ?
DJI mini 4 pro
And a gull shat on it in the air 😂

Glasgow looks really empty in many of my images.
It’s a combination of day time, exposure & traffic lights.
Day = weekends
Time = early
Exposure = 30 sec +
Traffic lights =
I wait & see what the timing is on them and use this time to get the camera in & the shot taken

Seems like I was off here for near a month.
Not sure how that happened.
Not been out making images, not doing much really.
I have a week off next week, will see if I can get some traction going.
I have 2 loaves fermenting in the fridge after I made a batch last night. So I must be moving again 😊

Been too busy setting up my nano reef that I am forgetting my photography.
Ikea have recently increased the range of pano frames and are now offering a larger one.
I have 3 frames currently on the wall with the smaller version with 3 b&W
Thinking of these as a set

Little & large in the family
I need to replace the bellows in the No4 (leather already in the bag)
The No1 has had a fall at some point so needs a little bit of bending into shape again behind the door.
I may strip them back to wood / recover or varnish

My take on tonight’s election results in Scotland.
Another five years dominated by constitutional obsession, grievance politics and division, with the SNP and Reform now feeding off each other in a never ending outrage machine.
