Bee Orchid, growing on a grass divider, opposite where I work on an industrial estate.

Not ideal surroundings, but I could only get a shot from my front garden. Fabulous colours, though.

Posted this on the buttercup thread, but I'll post it again here, there's something about it I find oddly pleasing:

Nice photos, Andy, the two of your little lass are terrific! (I guess she's yours, anyway). The Evacuee one is very atmospheric, and a bit haunting. A B&W version would be good. Like the tree, too.

Any idea why the hurri has different roundels?

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but as stated this Hurri was in South East Asia and the concern was that in the heat of battle certain of our allies might mistake the red in the centre of the standard British roundel for Japanese markings.

Americans?

Having spent nearly three years of my time in the army working with American forces personnel I think it best if I keep my views of them to myself!

I don't work in the army with yanks, so I'll answer on kja78's behalf:

YES

Cheers Count. Yes my daughter, and muse.
A b+w might be in order, i usually do convert even the colour shots to b+w.
I liked the muted colours that Kodak Ektar gave so left it as is.

I like the soft colours of the Evacuee photo, probably what gives it it's atmosphere. The graveyard photo is lovely, too, just the right sort of subject for mono.

Thanks for the comment Taka! 😳 (blushes).
Took this one yesterday evening while out on the bike. Phone photo, so no chance of getting a slow shutter speed in order to blur the barley blowing in the wind, but I like the overall effect, and I think the composition works, more-or-less.

Thank you, I took seven or eight, portrait and landscape, and mono as well, but that one just seemed to work.
Lots of criss-cross contrails to play with. I forgot to take my camera out, good thing I had the phone.

like the baby and bike, well spotted.
Interesting composition.
Beacon is also good

Artist formally know as.. coincidence, the spot does scream take a photo of me doesn't it?
Compact did especially well if it was film.
I've got oly mju 35mm f2 but i tend to put pound land, ISO 200, agfa film through it.
Quite a bit more grainy than your shot.

The one i posted was done with a Hasselblad 500c/m and expired Ektachrome then converted to B&W in SilverEfex.

Below was the Hasselblad again with Ilford Delta 400 and Ilford DD-x developer.
The camera doesn't have a light meter so it was done with an incident reading using a handheld pointing back from the boy's face.

But you certainly have more detail in the hill - not a film camera, an old Oly mju 5mp I think. I did mess about with it a bit in Picasa - and not sure what the res of that uploaded pic is on Imageshack without going back in. Had some lower res conversions kicking about. Yeah, the location does call for a pic though - that is the one pic that made me buy a decent camera. Spotted the tree when coming in and out of the caravan site up the lane opposite, decided I wanted a pic, but had very little idea about composition etc.

@polarisandy, like the light in the museum, lots of lovely smooth marble to reflect it into the shadows.
Love the sparrows! Great shot, that. 😀

A quick question if I may to the knowledgable folk on this thread.

I've recently inherited my late father's Nikon collection and am thinking of disposing of it. It has been suggested to me that I contact Grays of Westminster, which i shall be doing shortly. However, I'd gratefully welcome any comments that some of you may have on the various items as it is very important to me that I honour my father's wishes for the equipment.

All items are pretty much as they were when they came of our their boxes for the first time.However, I do not have any of the original packaging!

Nikon FS2 body, no. 7382560
24mm F2.8 auto Nikkor lens no. 407630
55mm F3.5 micro auto Nikkor lens no. 776596
105mm F2.5 auto Nikkor lens no.549606
200mm F4 auto Nikkor lens no. 608300
300mm F4.5 auto Nikkor lens no. 313447
Nikon FB5 gadget bag

Nikon F4 (AAx4) body - quite literally unused!!
28-85mm F3.5-4.5AF lens - unused!

All lenses are as original - none have had their mounts altered from new.

This isn't a sneaky post to try to sell, but I really would welcome any advice.

Thanks

Pretty pleased with this shot of my son picking Strawberries on Friday. A few clouds in the sky would have been nice though 😉

And i captured this glorious sunset last Wednesday in Horning, Norfolk while Pike fishing. Moments like this make the world all good 8)

I don't know anything about these things but I think it may be a Large Red. It sat there for quite a while. At one point it disappeared for about two seconds and came back with a moth in it's mouth. Unfortunately my lack of macro flash means it's really difficult to get any depth of feild so this is the best of about forty shots.

Have bought some stuff from Grays, a D700 and lens.
Do a search on Ebay and compare the price against Grays, then work out if the difference is worth the hassle.

The F4 looks very nice.
Woud be interested to hear what you would want for it.

Great stuff polarisandy. Like the shot of the boy above. Had a look at your Flickr, makes me want to dig out my f80 and and run some film through it.

Here is recent one of the wife.

Polarisandy - I'd like to PM you but not sure how to go about it. I'm happy to sell the F4 together with its Nikkor 28-85mm F3.5 lens. Where abouts are you based? I'm in Cumbria. I was digging about in the bag of gear from my fathers and have come across an immaculate Hasselblad 500cm with 80mm and 105mm lenses!! Think I'll be keeping that one, having been inspired by some of your 'blad shots posed here.

Be good to hear from if you're interested in the F4.
