My new replacement F80 arrived today from eBay..
It's dirty and smelly but I love it...I'd forgotten how great 35mm can be.

Very happy to be chosen as the first featured photographer on The Photo Playground..

Heidi, timeless classical beauty.

things left behind.

I'm submitting three pictures for the Wiltshire Open Exhibition today.
I struggled with which ones to choose but in the end went for three sea/beach scenes, thinking slightly more commercial than arty but they actually look really nice and will go on the wall when I get them back.

I'm feeling alot more relaxed about photography at the moment, I'm not putting myself under some false pressure anymore where I feel I have to understand where I'm going and achieve something, but instead I'm taking my time and appreciating whatever I can manage to do.

And hoping you're all having a lovely summer!
