Do you like changes?

Posted on 14 Hours Ago by Graham Lawrence

I’ve not made any structual changes to my blog for a while now.

I’ve been using the RESONAR theme for quite a while because I post a lot of photos and they stand out quite well with only the occasional glitch, when shown on mobiles and tablets, with the odd obscured head or side details missing.

I’ve found another theme I’d like to try and that is the EIGHTIES theme as it seems to fit my content even better.

I’ll let you be the judge of that because I’m going to try it out starting with this post!

Today’s feature photo was taken in Renishaw Gardens earlier this year.

iPhone 11 Pro and iOS13

Friends came visiting today and I was showing them my new iPhone and its three lenses.

I took the featured photo with Portrait Mode High-Key Light Mono and it came out rather well.

This is Ian. It’s a great portrait isn’t it!

The Heart Tree

Posted on 2 Days Ago by Graham Lawrence

I’ve been really very busy these past few days. Yesterday I downloaded iOS13 to my phone and then today I upgraded my phone to the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

I’m so excited to be able to take ultrawide and low light photos.

I’ll be posting some examples over the next few weeks.

For the time being here is a photo of a beautiful tree in the National Trust’s Clumber Park (Google Maps Link) near Worksop, UK.

Lord of the Rings

Posted on 4 Days Ago by Graham Lawrence

I was reading the news yesterday and I learnt that Amazon’s Lord of the Rings series will be filmed in New Zealand.

Perhaps they will use the Hobbiton set that we visited a while back.

I hope that won’t hinder the thousands of tourisits that visit it year long. Perhaps they will add new areas and make it even more fun to visit in the future!
