Saturday, 7th June 2025 - MIDLANDS AIR FESTIVAL

Last year I had a ticket for the Midlands Air Festival but,  after being gout-free for a few years, I had a big flare-up and couldn't walk so couldn't attend. Fortunately I was able to sell my ticket so at least I didn't lose out financially.  When tickets for this year's festival were made available, I booked for myself and two friends.

It turned out to be a great day with displays by the Red Arrows, BBMF Lancaster and Sally B being my favourites. Unfortunately, because it was a bit breezy, the hot air balloons weren't able to fly. That was disappointing because they would have offered some great photo opportunities in the evening light. Such a shame but it was still a good day and with good company.

Here are some of my many photos from the day, starting with the Red Arrows :-

Thanks for taking the time to look at my blog. Hope you enjoyed the photos.

    Shame about the hot air balloons but you've certainly made up for it with some great shots of the other displays, especially the Red Arrows! xx MB

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  😜 _____________________
