George the Dog". I didn't manage to get a photo with the sign, because George got a bit fed up and wandered off. Oh, and beside me was a woman unable to work her Leica, because she'd left the lens cap on.

Not really recommended for garden closeups when there's a slight breeze, or fast-moving cats. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DX5lX8Tz_R3bG8T1TQ5emuv9Dkw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DX5lX8Tz_R3bG8T1TQ5emuv9Dkw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DX5lX8Tz_R3bG8T1TQ5emuv9Dkw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DX5lX8Tz_R3bG8T1TQ5emuv9Dkw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/FransPhotos/~4/BH2ir_6UmN0" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.franpurdy.com/2011/05/f14-tests.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742424598980865987.post-54328887774711154502011-05-01T13:34:00.005+01:002011-05-02T20:53:29.607+01:002011-05-02T20:53:29.607+01:00Fran Purdyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09508398867642736648noreply@blogger.com0From the archives... <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/iZGTiX_EqK8x81VX_EJ2e33qZ68/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/iZGTiX_EqK8x81VX_EJ2e33qZ68/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/iZGTiX_EqK8x81VX_EJ2e33qZ68/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/iZGTiX_EqK8x81VX_EJ2e33qZ68/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/FransPhotos/~4/2F9Pzd_2C9U" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.franpurdy.com/2011/05/morocco-2006.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742424598980865987.post-46077508263067853242011-04-18T15:08:00.002+01:002011-05-01T13:41:49.968+01:002011-05-01T13:41:49.968+01:00Fran Purdyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09508398867642736648noreply@blogger.com0 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GvMsUoT0OdnCoC5bF8Bd4m-BpOY/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GvMsUoT0OdnCoC5bF8Bd4m-BpOY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GvMsUoT0OdnCoC5bF8Bd4m-BpOY/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/GvMsUoT0OdnCoC5bF8Bd4m-BpOY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/FransPhotos/~4/Bm-5_llVtSA" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.franpurdy.com/2011/04/garden.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742424598980865987.post-11696132005655282862011-04-14T23:31:00.001+01:002011-05-01T13:41:03.605+01:002011-05-01T13:41:03.605+01:00Fran Purdyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09508398867642736648noreply@blogger.com0... even if I do only see them once a year. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/N6d583Y7fVkxime0XSh9NGNTkRk/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/N6d583Y7fVkxime0XSh9NGNTkRk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/N6d583Y7fVkxime0XSh9NGNTkRk/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/N6d583Y7fVkxime0XSh9NGNTkRk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/FransPhotos/~4/S2P4-Mr68sw" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.franpurdy.com/2011/04/we-are-family.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742424598980865987.post-19901744844345717452011-03-21T17:14:00.000Z2012-01-27T16:22:10.804Z2012-01-27T16:22:10.804ZFran Purdyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09508398867642736648noreply@blogger.com0 When I remembered we had an old camera in the wardrobe somewhere, I was hoping it would turn out to be a Leica (I am currently coveting an M9 as hard as I can).  Sadly it turned out to be a Kodak Brownie box camera, and the 620 film it took is now obsolete, so would need 120 film respooling (or buying from ebay after someone else has done it).  I think I'll put it back in the wardrobe for now. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0NZ_B_bbXh9GsK62eQXeZvnytws/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0NZ_B_bbXh9GsK62eQXeZvnytws/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0NZ_B_bbXh9GsK62eQXeZvnytws/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0NZ_B_bbXh9GsK62eQXeZvnytws/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/FransPhotos/~4/1Pqn4X_XNDA" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.franpurdy.com/2011/03/brownie.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742424598980865987.post-558005283443434682011-03-18T00:28:00.003Z2011-03-18T10:16:47.593Z2011-03-18T10:16:47.593ZFran Purdyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09508398867642736648noreply@blogger.com0Just reading  a few photography blogs online, and Steve Huff raves about the D300's success in coping with high iso.  I've never really gone above 600 iso, so gave it a quick test.  Both shot in RAW, converted to JPG with no photoshopping - the results are pretty impressive, I'm definitely going to have to remember this when I'm wibbly about increasing the iso. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/dj-oIpxu6kjMkW4Uh_jFJT2pIkw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/dj-oIpxu6kjMkW4Uh_jFJT2pIkw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/dj-oIpxu6kjMkW4Uh_jFJT2pIkw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/dj-oIpxu6kjMkW4Uh_jFJT2pIkw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/FransPhotos/~4/o7YG3QNsgMQ" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.franpurdy.com/2011/03/iso-test.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742424598980865987.post-53169207013109522482011-03-15T13:23:00.001Z2011-03-15T13:23:40.820Z2011-03-15T13:23:40.820ZFran Purdyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09508398867642736648noreply@blogger.com0Mystery revealed – yesterday I took photo’s for Rebecca and Matt’s wedding.  It was so secret that I knew before their family, who were the only guests.  It was a wonderful ceremony, and Bromley Civic Centre is a beauuutiful venue.  Now I have a couple of hundred photos to sort through, and it wouldn’t be fair to post any here before I give them all to Rebecca and Matt.
