There was a successful do at Barrow Hill Roundhouse last weekend when Flying Scotsman and Tornado starred for the public. www.barrowhill.org However, the week before the Roundhouse was open for a preview of the changes to members of the Society, it was much quieter but it was good to see how the changes hove been implemented. It's lost a bit of atmosphere for us old photographers but generally a great job has been made.
It's about time I started to post stuff about my wanderings and of course my unmissable musings about life the universe and everything. Some of us went to the NEMPF exhibition today (12/01/08). There were some great wildlife and natural history shots showing good animal behaviour captured at exactly the right second. There were some good 'landscapes' or 'earthscapes' as our friends at Dronfield have started referring to the wider subject of land, city, sea and bit scapes. Lots of the stuff is 'current fashion' and I'm getting a bit fed up of static portraits of folk with lots of body piercing. Worth seeing tho. Should've taken a couple of shots but didn't, hopeless really!
Geospace has asked members of the Chesterfield Photo Society to update their blogs and suggested that we put some pictures of our trip to York on our blogs. Well as a 'silver-based' photographer I've had to wait 'till I got my films back before posting any photos. So here is a selection. I've tried to be a bit different about the shots I took.
