081-365v4 The Nikon N2020 aka F-501

Today I broke out one of my film cameras, the Nikon N2020 (Nikon F-501 in Europe), I got this very secondhand along with a few old lens…the one attached at the moment is the 35-70mm F3.3 – 4.5. Released in April 1986 it’s considerable younger than I am…unlike the last

080-365v4 The Surface of the Moon?

Of course, it’s not…but that’s what I thought of when I was looking at a number of similar images that I had taken of the underside of our frying pan! This is the burnt charcoal type stuff that gets welded onto the pan…especially if you don’t clean it properly. My

It was Debbie’s birthday today and my brother and his family sent her some rather lovely flowers. I popped outside (they are outdoor plants) and quickly photgraphed them, just so I had a few shots in the camera in case I ran out of time later…so here we are 😉

037-365v4 – 3 Balls on a Bed

I’ll admit, this wasn’t the outcome I was looking for, I had some very grandiose ideas how this shot was going to turn out…and this wasn’t even close to the result I was looking for. Not even a twirl or orb could fix this one! I also took some additional

282/365v3 Into the Abyss

A second visit to the Phyllis Currie Nature Reserve, specifically for some bug photography. Unfortunately there was a very strong breeze blowing keeping a lot of the flying insects down. I still picked up a few shots including, just as I was leaving, the featured shot of the meadow grasshopper as
