Waunfaur Park

 Today is the first time since Jennifer was born that I have really taken my camera out to take photos, I have used it for filming videos and I have taken photos on other cameras, mainly film ones that I have been testing, but not my digital SLr to take photos.

Today we went to Waunfaur park for a walk so I tool it with me, it's been so long I think I need to refresh myaelf on how it works properly and the processing software as well, but all in all we had a lovely time even if it did rain on us or a little while.

A lovely walk passed the bandstand and o the the play park so Jennifer could have some fun.

And then a quick walk across the bridge and to the other side of the river to see what wa there (not a lot)

They are not the bet photos I've ever taken but it was nice to get out and take a few, and hopefully soonn I will be out taking more, because to be honest I have really missed it.

It's been a long time

 Since I posted on this platform, I haven't been taking many photos in the last few years, hopefully that will change soon.

I have been shooting a bit of film as I have missed the tangibility of holding a negative in my hands after developing it myself.

I have also been buying and selling film cameras, after I have tested them of course which means it takes a long time for me to actual list them for sale - here are a few I have developed and scanned.

Not the greatest I will admit, but I will be back to digital soon and do have a lot of photos that I can share with you from various places over the years

SS Great Britain Pt 2

And finally we made it to the SS Great Britain, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and built in Bristol at the dry dock where it is now permanently docked, the Great Britain revolutionised ocean travel - she was the first Iron steamship to cross the Atlantic, and after a varied career, which eventually saw her abandoned on the Falkland Islands she was eventually transported home in 1970 - where she now is one of Bristol's most popular tourist attractions.

Here are some of the things you can see aboard this magnificent vessell
