Title: Messing around with a camera
Post by: AdeV on August 30, 2012, 07:13:01 PM

Ralph (aka Divided He ad) paid a surprise visit tonight, kindly dropping off some lumps of metal he'd got lying around  :nrocks:

Anyway, as usual, we bantered on for ages about pretty much everything except machining; when we wandered outside at the end of the evening, it turns out to be a spectacular night on the docks. So I couldn't resist nipping home and grabbing the camera,

These are some of the results. I've just realised that I forgot to turn off the image stabilised lens, as it was on a tripod that's probably added some movement  :palm: If it's as nice out tomorrow night, I'll have another go.

Nice photos, Ade.

I've never seen the Mersey estuary looking so limpid.

Thanks for the replies all, most encouraging! I will have to bore you all with some more of my snaps  :palm:

Bob - OK, I'll bite. How did you take a picture of your disassembled camera.....?  :lol:

Dennis - yep, this is literally 10 seconds walk from my workshop door (and about 10 mins walk from home). Attached are similar views to the dark ones taken just now (there's a breeze today, hence the choppier water), and one showing where my workshop is in relation to the water.

Ade, I'm flying (with Ryanair  :( ) to France from Liverpool Airport in the morning. If I can get the wndow open, I'll give you a wave  :wave:

Andy - I'll wave back. You'll spot me easily - I'm the fat lump in an office chair.....

Very tempted to make a set of spoked alloy wheels for it now....
