Falkland Colours

12 Sep 2022 11:03PM   Views : 342 Unique : 228

It's quite a while since the National Trust got over their aversion to photography inside their properties, but it seems the National Trust for Scotland is still using the same fairly thin (I would say spurious) reasons to keep the cameras out. So when we went to Falkland I amused myself for finding a mini-theme/project while I was there. The theme was Found Colour, and this is what I shot with my Pentax K-3 II and SMC Pentax-DA 18-135mm WR lens. The weather resistance was useful as it kept raining, and raining....but we Carry On anyway.

The Pentax and the Butterfly

I always carry my trusty Pentax MX-1, probably the best compact camera that I have ever used. It is staggeringly useful in terms of functions, not too large or heavy and sturdily made. It also has a great lens, the SMC Pentax 8-25mm f/1.8-2.5, comple...

Historic Tyldesley - The Technical College

Always Carry a Camera

I just love these and the colours are outstanding.

Sometimes setting yourself a project is a great way to focus your art.
I often do this by only taking one lens with like a 10-20mm, a 35mm or my Lumix 20mm which I love.

Great set of images.
