    A nice play on leading lines . Maybe I would like to see the vanishing point of the double yellow lines.

    Coniston Water

    A sunny morning this week, so headed out for a stroll along the shore of Coniston Water.

    I really like the nice gentle light in this shot. The twisty trees are nice too.

    The lakes are a lovely corner of Britain.

    I like the incredible variety of these writing instruments you have assembled. My faves are the 3rd from the top and the very last one. Absolute MASTERPIECES. Superb collection you have here. More to come, I hope?! What are the origins of them and timeline. Just curious.

    Most of them are from the 1930's to the 1960's, with a few modern pencils as well. Yard O Led, is my favourite brand as the complicated mechanism is interesting, and they hold 1000mm or 36 inches of led.

    I mostly buy on Ebay, for the vintage stuff, and a pen shop for new pencils. A few years ago you could buy vintage pencils for very little. Prices are starting to get silly.

    Love the colours in this, and those strong diagonals of course.

    Clear Skies Before Dawn

    A Country Track

    Looking back down the same track (sunrise behind me). The hill in the background is (for the most part) White Coppice.

    DSC_9838.jpg

    Blue Water

    Taken from the rocky outcrop that overlooks Blue Water while waiting for a sunrise that never really got into gear. Note that I've deliberately left these images on the dark side to retain the mood from the day and avoid crushing the subtle tones in the sky, surprisingly there's not a lot of latitude in the brighter tones before they hit over-saturation. I would have liked to use a polariser here to drop some of the reflection on the rocks and damp foliage, but at 1/10th of a second handheld it's already pushing the limits of what I can manage to hold steady without blocking more light out.

    DSC_9841 1.jpg

    These are beautiful. I like that you have to really peer into them to pick out the details, like letting your eyes ajust to the darkness.

    The weather has been really too wet and miserable here too. The first shot is my favourite too

    I like the different colours here. But IMO the lower third is not necessary here, it starts to compete for attention.

    Interesting trees indeed, I like mostly the middle tree here with moss (?) growing on it, that would have been interesting subject in itself.

    Very interesting, I like the colours here, outside colours seem to be affected from tinted glass?

    My new obsession.

    I decided I wanted to try and photograph my sprawling mechanical pencil collection properly. So I bought a cheap light tent and a couple of little LED lights. I am not happy with the backgrounds that came with the tent, but playing with the lights is interesting. I used my 105 macro, and frame stacking. The 105 shows dust and the odd cat hair without mercy ( our cat decided that the light tent was a good place to nap).

    These are my first attempts.

    My first impression from first photo was some military (gun or dagger) collection, impression caused from the ornamented metal. These old art-of-work tools (and buildings, machinery, cameras etc.) are much better looking than nowadays mass-produced cost-effective solutions.
