Museums of Times Past

28 Jan 2021 11:42AM   Views : 403 Unique : 286

We do like the museums that show us past times, from the large sites such as Beamish, Black Country Museum and Crich to the small local museums that can be surprisingly interesting. When we are in Yorkshire we always spare a few hours for the Beck Isle Museum in Pickering. Life Jim, but not as we know it today......Victorian rooms, old shops, and out back a large space for outbuildings that contain even more gems of yesteryear.

Photographically, a standard zoom with ISO as high as it needs to be will produce good results. An ultra-wide zoom adds versatility, and these days I would be looking to use my Pentax K-1 full frame DSLR with the 20-35mm f/4 or the 17-28mm Fish-eye Zoom lenses. ISO could happily racked up to 6400, and beyond if necessary.

Now for some shots from the Beck Isle Museum.

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 - Frank's Cafe and More!

There was a cafe in this building for many years, well loved by local people and run by Frank and his wife. Eventually, of course, Frank retired and the building has been under restoration for some time now. If you look on YouTube one of the urban ex...

Historic Tyldesley - The Technical College

There is a road sign that says "Welcome to Historic Tyldesley" or something similar, and for a while we scratched our heads wondering what excatly was historic about Tyldesley. Well, slap on the hand for us, because there are plenty of things that w...

Always Carry a Camera

I make a point of always carrying a camera, just to capture anything and everything that catches my eye as we carry on with the minutiae of life. I was in Atherton and just heading for the shop that sells fuses and passed a small alleyway that used t...
