Wrong shoes
 | | So recently there was a conversation that went along the lines of . . . using my camera more, trying to capture more of the landscape / environment around here. On the way to drop R****** off, we noticed a load of intriguing looking mist, hanging around the fields around Park Road. I figured by the time I got back home, I wouldn't have long to photograph this before the sun would burn it all away. And then because I wasn't familiar enough with the view down to Park Road from Eaves Wood, I wasn't entirely sure of the best vantage point. And on top of all that, I didn't have time to change my shoes, so my footwear (a pair of sliders, more at home in the garden than anywhere else) wasn't entirely appropriate. Anyway . . . I grabbed my camera and headed up to the Pepperpot. Hmmmmmm. A lot of trees in the way. I tried to take some pictures anyway but then my camera battery decided to die at that point. Ah. So, I switched to my mobile phone and took this panoramic shot, seeing as I was there anyway. I then tried to figure out some way of looking down to Park Road from the woods, but every view had trees in the way, not surprisingly. Really, in hindsight, I needed to be on Bottoms Lane or one of the paths off from there. Ah well. All a learning experience.

Stourhead and not entirely in control of the camera
        |         |         |        |     | | Max showed an interest in my camera and asked if he could take some pictures. And I was like, "Yeah, sure, why not?" I always like it when other people use my camera instead of me, as the style of photography, the subject, the content . . . etc . . . everything will be different to some degree. Plus, there's a greater chance that I'll be in one of these pictures! I had to delete some of these, due to focus / exposure issues, but what remains is largely the work of Max (I took the picture of the horse and perhaps a few others).

Elterwater
      |       |      | | See also entry for 28th May 2023. This is the walk we had previously attempted, but had to call short. M**** and I did the walk again, without incident and also without A****** and R******. At some point, this enormous (or at least very loud) four-propeller military plane flew over and I tried (but was a little too late) to capture it on my camera. Possibly something to do with VE day celebrations?!
