Today I was given a camera by a relative – an unwanted Canon AE-1P. It’s my first SLR camera and I’m looking forward to having a play with it. My digital camera, a Fuji S9600 has many of the controls of an SLR without actually being one, so I’m familiar with the concepts. But filmContinue reading “New camera: Canon AE-1 Program”

Llys-y-Fran dam, Pembrokeshire Tenby harbour, Pembrokeshire Raindrops onContinue reading “Water”

Baltic cruise: Oslo
Our final port of call was Oslo in Norway. The port of Oslo is reached by travelling up some 60 miles of the narrow Oslofjord. Of course the ship has to slow down as it passes through the narrow channel, giving everyone on deck a stunning view. Here are my photographs of the approach toContinue reading “Baltic cruise: Oslo”
