Action camera stills.

 

A few test shots off the DJI action 5 camera, I've borrowed one to play with.  This is full size images (40mp) 5x4 ratio cropped to 1200 pix (from 7296x5472)

Bonfire night is over.

 This year I saw  a large street bonfire setup. Haven't seen one for years.

Wear your poppy with pride

 I know there's controversy over the poppy. Some say it glorified war. That was never the original intention. 

It was to remember those who fought and died for their country.  Hardly glorifying war. 

War I'd dirty, nasty, and dangerous.  I mean you have to stick your bayonet in an enemy and twist it. Hardly glamorous.

So I wear my poppy with pride, I have 2, one on my coat, and one on my bag. I'm proud to be a part of remembering those who died.

I don't glorify war, it's terrible,  but the men and women who died I will remember. 

I lost friends in my service time. I still think of them. You play snooker with a mate one night, a week later your at his funeral.  God bless all those who died.

Autumn and my camera bag

 Autumn and my camera bag.

Well start with me camera bag. I've mentioned several times that it's too heavy. Last week I had a shoot and I stripped it right down, one body, just two lens (24-105mm and 50mm) one flash and just two sets of batteries and one spare camera battery.

What a difference!  I could pick it up without getting help from a few weightlifters. My normal kit is two bodies, two 24-105mm, a 16-35mm a 50mm a 105mm and a 70-300mm, three flashguns an off camera trigger.  four spare camera batteries, and around six or eight sets of flash batteries. That's without all the other odds and ends in the front pocket of my bag, first aid, a small sewing kit, groundsheet etc. etc.

While this was do-able and worked fine for the shoot I had, I don't fancy it for a wedding.  There's no real back-up in the light kit.  Not that it looks like I've got any weddings to do anyway, and I'm not too bothered.

Now the autumn image, the weathers been awful here so it's an AI.
