Saturday, 14th JUNE 2025 - MOTO X

I hadn't been to a Moto X event since going with my parents many years ago (it was called scrambling in those days). So I has happy to join Ro and Re for another photo-trip. It was a great day until mid afternnon when the race was stopped due to a rider being taken ill. Although ambulances were in attendance, two blue-light ambulances turned up suggesting it was serious. When an air-ambulance landed, we knew that was the case. Sadly, the rider involved sadly passed away and racing was abandoned for the day.


Anyway, here are some shots from before that happened:-








And finally, a composite shot I'm very pleased with :-



Thanks for looking at my blog

    Oh that's really sad! Must have been distressing to witness. The photos you got before the accident are excellent, especially the composite. Very clever! M xx

Friday, 8th March 2024 - HATFIELD WATER MILL

Image
Today, the U3A Photography Group visited the Water Mill at Hatfield. Unfortunately any catering facilities they may have were not open today so we met in the nearby Tesco cafe for the almost essential coffee before going to the mill, ready for some photography.    The inside of the mill was lit by sodium lamps. They might be good for the eye but not for colour photography.  To avoid those problems, I processed these images in black & white and then added a sepia tint which I thought suited the subject. And finally, my personal favourite of the day ... Thanks for checking my blog   🙂 Den

Sunday , 4th February 2024 - Farewell Band Gang, Hello Band Crew

Image
Well, we went to the Anchor for lunch today as the Band Gang, had a very enjoyable meal, and then departed renamed as the Band Crew. Apparently the original name could somehow get confused with another "activity".  It's beyond me but if someone could explain it to me I'd be most grateful  😜 _____________________
