I had not realised that The Gimp was installed on my parents' computer, otherwise I would posted more. On Christmas Day, I somehow got an idea. My parents had this old camera. When I say old, it is old, maybe start of 19th century of something like that. It does not work anymore but the optics is still in "good" shape, meaning you can still see through. I applied my aunt's camera (Canon 3SIS) in front of the eyepiece of this antiquity and I got a few shots including today's.

After nearly 3 weeks of interruption I can now resume uploading. There might be some further interruptions in the future which I hope will not be as long as this one was.

Interlude

Due to computer failure, I am no longer able to record and process photos. Hopefully, I will be able to resume in a short while. Cross fingers.

Astronomy Domine!

Dedicated to Maman, who usually doe not like my B&W photos and who particularly distastes abstract work.


Surprising? I won't tell where or how it was taken. The only indication is that it was not with my camera, but with another one, much more powerful.

Crail's Lane

Location: Crail's Lane, St Andrews, Scotland

I played a bit with different colour filters trying to make a nice colour picture. I took that photo because it was a little bit misty in that lane and a sunray was visible. I did all the changes trying to enhance it but did not manage. Instead, I got a strange coloured shot which when it was put in B&W gave what you have now. I shall try again.
