    Hi from Bedfordshire

    Welcome to RPF, Gareth. I am sure you’ll enjoy ‘the place. Pete.

    Tour de France

    Sadly they are all empty and just have bits of paper stuffed in the necks. The place was rented out by my friends for 10 years or so and the tenants left these and tons of other junk too.

    Rambling through Rotherhithe and beyond

    What an interesting series, Peter. And interesting snippets of history. The salvaged wood one especially. I really like the images, but the stand-out one for me is the one of the swing bridge. Great contrasts between old and new, super framing and the ferry.

    Wild Mustang

    What a lucky encounter, and that you managed to grad a couple of shots is a real bonus. I have never really understood the appeal of paddle-boarding, but I suppose if you get to do it under such great rock formations that might make it worth it! ;)

    Orange tip

    Yes, the pose is great, and the focus is just right.

    A few from today...

    Very nice results, Gary. Super rendering of the colours too.

    Two twenty-eights

    That’s a shame. I know that @Hamish Gill is a fan of pancake lenses. For some reason I’ve never tried one on a M-body.

    Spider and a soldier beetle

    Nice work again, Les. That Soldier Beetle look exhausted! ;)

    A found film: 116 format

    What an interesting post, Chris. And what a great outcome. The Exif scriber is interesting. Does the back have a ‘door’ of some sort that aligns with the inter-image spaces?

    Summer nostalgia

    What beautifully still and lit images, Gianluca. I love the way the poles carry the eye through the image in the first and the symmetry of the light and shade on the bows of the boats. The post in the foreground provides perfect balance too. In the second the poles again lead you to the main...

    Satellite Wars

    Yes, pretty well the only amenity they have here is electricity. Actually, Gianluca, it was the rusty dish that first drew my eye, especially the day the setting sun lit it and it was only then that I realised the contrast between the old and new.

    Lafaye Gloaming

    I suspect you may well be right, Gianluca. And I’m sure many of our myths and ‘sightings’ are a result of this as well.

    Tour de France

    I think you are absolutely right there, Gianluca. I find abstraction of the 'every day’ and the way that light and mood either draw it to attention or transform it to be endless source of pleasure.

    Lafaye Gloaming

    So very true, Gianluca. I have another shot that I have been dithering over that started this all off too.

    Tour de France

    True. One of the other bicycles is branded Eddy Merx and other is named after another former Tour de France winner: I need to check the name again though so maybe the one with the bell is destined for victory!
