Photo365 – Day 234 – zoom dandelion

This is actual an old photo (transparency) but rephotographed today using a new adaptor I bought for the Olympus E-P2. The adaptor converts the micro four thirds mount into a t2 mount…and onto that I attached an old Ohnar Zoom slide duplicator. The dandelion was a portrait shot cropped due to the effective 2x magnification […]

Photo365 – Day 233 – Castlerigg Stone Circle

Day two of the stream of errors (see yesterday’s blog – Photo365 -Pen-y-ghent for scene setting) The bed in the B&B was a four poster, which sounded great but it was quite small (I couldn’t lay straight as my feet pressed against the foot)…and the room, while being quaint, was tiny so the bed was […]

Photo365 – Day 229 – Solar Panels fitted

Today the installation team from an energy company came round to fit solar panels to my roof. Six hours is all it took two guys to mount 16 panels. I took advantage of the fact the scaffolding is still erected and went up to roof level to get this shot. A good cloud filled sky […]

Photo365 – Day 228 – Scaffolding

Today scaffolding was erected ready for the men who come to install solar panels. In a few days I will begin being slightly more self-sufficient. This is the ladder and scaffolding rising to the platform the installers will work from.

Photo365 – Day 227 – Selbstportrait

Title borrowed from an album by one of my early musical influencers – German artists Hans-Joachim Roedelius. The shot was taken this morning as I played around with the SLR Magic Toy lens in preparation for a review I’m writing. It’s a 26mm f/1.4 lens that fits the Olympus E-P2
