Compare this to 32/365 and make your own judgement on how far camera technology has come since 1974.
This one’s with our new 55-200mm VR lens.
P.S. I just joined a Flickr group called Traveling Gnomes, so watch for OohGnome in different locations in future. Silly but fun.

We arrived home this afternoon to find our tree chopped down. Jayne had rung the council during the week, but we weren’t expecting such a prompt response! They’ll be back on Monday to remove the stump and plant something new.

Packed down the tent tonight ready for the weekend. The poles, ready to be bagged up, remind us of bamboo.
I post-processed this one a bit. It looks a bit weird around the edges, but whatever.

Clearly this gnome wasn’t expecting to see a tent in the backyard.

Put up our old canvas tent in the garden on Sunday to air it out before a weekend away next week. I like the patterns in the bokeh in this shot of one of the guy ropes.

The view to my left from my breakfast table this morning.

One day I would love to own one of these cars. This one’s been restored. At considerable expense, judging by the custom plates.

This guy was on the corner of Elizabeth and Collins on Friday night. He could really play. Great sound to end the week.

Bit rushed for the daily photo today. Had to settle for this slightly blurry, noisy one. Will try harder tomorrow.
