TV riddle-me-re

Posted by: Richard In: Uncategorized

Random TV jottings, in no particular order:

Damages series 2.  I’ve stopped watching.  The first [...]

I’m not a dab hand at using the video option yet, which means there is a little blurring in the middle, but I thought you might all like to see the one I [...]

A great day out at the Wildlife Heritage Foundation care of Chris Weston Wildlife Photography. And of course of my lovely wife who bought the day for me as a birthday present!

A recommendation

Posted by: Richard In: gear guide| photography

In preparing for my big photographic day out on Sunday 22nd, I’d rented a big monster lens from the lovely people at Calumet Photographic.  Here it is – the snappily titled 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR NIKKOR.

Down to Chichester for a sunny weekend with Sarah.   Mum & Dad’s cute cat visitor came to visit again and seemed to welcome some fresh faces to cuddle him – not to mention fresh laps to sit on.

After that, a trip round the Cathedral:

Dinner that evening at The Earl of March in Lavant.  I recall [...]

The start of March.  Spring has sprung, so out and about a bit more – when work allowed.
