Green Heron

Great idea, I look forward to the results

Been mega busy all day, but did manage to grab my 365 - 2017 shot after a heavy burst of rain had subsided and the sun was fighting to break back thru


April 30th - After The Rain

I agree with Tim great idea Alan. I have never shot film so it would be challenging.
I think this is a Whimbrel, I don't think these are common around here they just stopped in with the storm.

I cut my teeth on film, many, many moons ago
A few years back while having a clean out of the attic I can across my old 35mm and a bunch of 20yr out of date film, In a fit of nostalgia I loaded up some B&W and spent the next week or so clicking it away
I was very firmly looking back with rose tinted spectacles tho, digital is so much more accessible and rewarding for me, having said that tho, I will never say never

As a sidenote, back in 2011 (I cant believe it was actually that long ago), I decided to try to recreate the feel of shooting 35mm on my Canon 20D
I turned off the rear screen, locked the ISO to 400 and even found an old 256mb card that only held about 30 shots and flatly refused to review any shot until the card was full

I then uploaded the entire 'roll of film' including one junked shot when I accidentally tripped the shutter while walking along

The results can be found here, if anyone is interested

A chance encounter with a friendly gastropod made today's 365 - 2017 shot an easy affair

May 1st - Never Stop Reaching

Looks like you did well on the roll of digital.
Not many Eagles around here, most of the time if I try to get a shot I get out with the tripod and they fly off before I get anywhere near them, by the time I set the tripod down there out of reach.
Tonight I thought I would go without the tripod so if he takes off I might get a in flight shot. And he just sat on the pilling and let me shot while the gnats ate me up.
shot while setting on the beach. Sure wish I had my tripod.

Spotted this on a neighbouring shed down the allotments, will do for today's 365 - 2017


May 2nd - Bottles & Bluebells

Great idea to lock the camera down and act as if it was a film one! Horrified to hear "I've never used film" - makes me feel so old!

Love the eagle and the snail, the great texture of the wooden shed and that cool B+W of the shoreline. I've never really felt too confident with black and white, but it always looks good when other people do it!
