@pritipatel I'm a British citizen, you took away my freedom of movement. I did not vote for that - I want it back.

Last Sunday's morning mist gave an atmospheric air to Jim Four's photo downriver from Greenwich Yacht Club, past the Cemex mooring point towards the Thames Barrier. He used a Nikon800.

Cruiser racers took to the river today in strong gusty conditions for an exciting sail around Blackwall point. Great to see some of our gaff rigged boats leading the fleet! #sailinglife #thames #thamesriver

@PhilVeacock Try https://t.co/9AgIfLqVm2 they did ours ok

@AnalogueWLand Tempted to say my Chamonix 5x4 field camera, the palaver of LF slows me down and requires you to really think about an image, so I can make fewer but better photos.

@JochenMarkhorst @scottwarmuth1 It’s more I and I to me: “Noontime, and I’m still pushin’ myself along the road, the darkest part” - or too obvious?

[David Alexander-Watts @Austerby]

@HamishGill I did the same recently, had just a battered F body and found a nice battered plain prism - made no economic sense but I’m happy to have done it

[David Alexander-Watts @Austerby]

@1michaelgray1 I was there, it was a splendid evening that suddenly became the last day of normal existence

[David Alexander-Watts @Austerby]

@JamesRavilious @beaford Another example of his masterful technique to get the background enough out of focus for the printer to stand out yet it be clear what he is standing amongst.

[David Alexander-Watts @Austerby]

@HamishGill Am following a similar path - I recently rescued an 645xxx F body by getting a replacement back, a dented plain prism and an early battered 3.5cm plus equally tired 105mm. The body is scratched with "Old 11-11-63" underneath. Thanks to @LondiniumCamera for giving them new life.

@ILFORDPhoto @HamishGill This is true for me, I spend my working days on a laptop and smartphone - the pleasure of analogue cameras and the darkroom is a welcome change from this.

[David Alexander-Watts @Austerby]

@benfphoto My Nikon FE can do this, or a folder with a lens mount shutter

[David Alexander-Watts @Austerby]

@seanehewitt I'm going to give Shutter Speed a try, looks interesting. Thanks.

[David Alexander-Watts @Austerby]

@PhilVeacock Were you at GYC?

[David Alexander-Watts @Austerby]

@JamesRavilious @beaford I can just imagine him strolling past, seeing the bicycle, thinking someone’s going to come out of the door soon, waiting patiently and then just nailing the timing. Lovely.

@CrossnessET Hi - I have emailed a few times recently re a photo group trip but haven't heard back. How do I arrange one please?
