Hence the extension they built (visible at the back of the rocket) to store minutes from very low no meetings)

I was looking at “ an auction site “ and saw the difference in cost and deduced the same so will consider it a family heirloom and thus worth the investment opportunity !

Yes part of the rationale was the ability to grab it and shoot immediately and it has proved to be pretty accurate in most situations so a very versatile set-up. I am considering getting a wide lens for it at some point as well

I have a similar set up which I have likewise grown to love. Had one many many years ago as my “ main” camera system and now as a “daily carry” and have to agree to it being very capable indeed !

Without wishing to put any more pressure on the venture, I and all right minded people on here look forward to the big reveal of a perfect roll-bangers each and every one of them !

Brighton promenade

Enjoyed my first visit to Brighton. I hadn't quite expected the scale of it. Will have to return.

#holgaweek #believeinfilm

A grainy, high-contrast, black and white photo taken from inside a dilapidated seaside shelter. The perspective looks out through grimy window panes and vertical metal supports to the promenade, which has a railing and several empty benches. Beyond the benches, the sea stretches toward the horizon under a bright, cloudy sky. In the foreground, the wooden slats of a bench inside the shelter are visible, along with a faded mural or etching on the wall to the lower left, possibly of a sailboat. The image has a vignette effect and a vintage, melancholy feel.

Well...if you ask the other half she will say about £500 but not sure where she got that from (apart from its what I told her......) and this is but the tip of the iceberg.....
