Fire and Love

Out and about for a drive round the local B roads. Stopped off at one of my favorite spots and took some shots of my chariot of fire. When in a serendipitous moment a nice lady in her chariot of Love pulled up.Shared some pleasantries and then got busy with the M8.
Lady I spoke to runs the following business silkandsatinweddings Did not get her name, such as serendipitous moments are.

3 from the hip and 1 from above

Out and about today.
As part of the slightly ongoing work Theme in progress. I took a selection of shots from the hip. No framing in the on the screen just estimation. Plenty of misses but also some hits.

So 3 from the hip.

And one from above.

Green and pleasant land

Nothing to do with street life at all today, quite the opposite.

Just a nice Birthday day out in the Leicestershire countryside. Stopped off at Launde Abbey for nibbles and took the following shot of my chariot of fire.

In Town

Just out and about with the Ricoh GR.

Uppingham

Out and about in Uppingham today. Only passed thorough before, but decided to actually visit today.
Plenty of photo opportunities especially architectural details. Even if that is just worn sandstone. Tells a story if you let it. Hadn't even left the car park before I had seen my first shot. In bit of a rush, but will return and slow down and explore more next time.

Not something you see everyday

What stories could this alley tell, what is on the other side of the gate?

Todays ramdom offerings.

A beautiful sunny morning for  a change. Still armed with the Leica M8 and Summar from yesterday. Thought would be nice to use for some colour work for chamge. Even though it was a glorious sunny morning left without the polariser. Conscious decision. Pulled into to a garage put some motion lotion in and seen this to my right.

Just for comparison I also shot the same in B+W.

Works better in colour me thinks.

Given the sunshine this morning looks like someone is an optimist.

I do like how the plant pot has been rendered. The M8 may be classed as an old camera now but when it produces images like this I have now reason to change. Is it the M8 or is it the oldy worldy glass or both?

Out and about with the Leica M8 and Summar combo

Just out and about this morning. Had a look at a local culvert to see what the water level was like. Good as it turns out. Been there a while now but thought I would take a pic of someones handy work.

Shades of Gorillaz?

Carried on walking and found this. Sink holes seem to be increasingly reported in the news.

Not quite a sink hole.

Carried on once more and found a
