A modest 112ltrs Pete, and thank you for sharing about your tank- like you myself and my partner stumbled upon Takashi Amano and inspiration struck- I’m lucky to have a volume of his Nature Aquarium World (book 3) and his photography and observations help imbue his status with credibility...

Surprisingly difficult to answer Gary 😅 I think it’s pretty damn simple- basically change a few litres of salt water every two weeks, top up a litre of fresh water daily and feed the tank 👌 But, I think that’s fair to say it’s where it’s reached- the tanks on its 3rd transplant going up in size...

Thanks Tony- I feel the same, endlessly wonderous in diversity

Otherworldly colours and textures keep me fascinated with one of my other passions maintaining a reef tank and documenting the development.

Great photo capturing the delicate petals Gary, flower portraits are a beautiful piece of art and you have an eye for it.

Who needs special effects when the architecture does it for you.

Kind words Tony, appreciate them. Blue hour into darkness really is a time I appreciate capturing.

Thanks Beth, and that remark pleases me as I’ve been experimenting with a cinestill 800t lut in Rawtherapee and tweaking it to get a digital cinestill profile with minimal work. I’d love to shoot more of the real stuff, but alas I need to pay bills and eat 😂

Thank you Gianluca, the location is one that sells dreams, yet rarely described as dreamy.

Continuing my fascination with Blackpool and the promenade, a recent jaunt to dapple in blue hour and later as nighttime shared the illuminations space. Taken on a Sigma SD15 and Fuji XE1.

Lovely shots Tony- favourites being the night heron and great blue heron- like a Nat Geo cover ✌️

I find it fascinating how those ‘real’ qualities come back throughout life, giving that joie de vivre which technical specs can’t explain. Photography as a medium certainly juxtaposes this cleanly! I’ll be continuing to revel in these nostalgic trinkets as I enjoy life’s cornucopia,

It will always matter Shaun, nostalgia is our fond yearnings for the past we knowingly or unknowingly loved- and even though digital can approximate film, the older medium is unique and certainly has place today.

Ahhh the F2- I think of all the 35mm slr cameras…this was the most intuitive and fruitful to shoot I’ve used, you’ve got a great haul there Paul.

I’ve been a pretty consistent sx70 shooter over the last few years- the sx70 film comes and goes-but, the much simpler to source 600 film is useable in these cameras without modifying. Set the exposure wheel to fully darken and you’ll get, with some variation, exposed pictures you can...
