We still usually have a rose or two left at Christmas and that's continued to this year as we still have one slightly bedraggled white rose left. So, in the dark and in the rain and by the light of the security light on the garage here it is...

Hi, December roses on a dull day :
To cheer me up, I went to PORSCHE :
The (used) prices did not help much ... :
Hechtsheimer Strasse, Mainz/D :
Our nativity scene :
The Magi waiting for their turn :
The number of Christmas cards has been going down over the years. (I did not write any ... ) :

Taken this morning somewhere around 5 am on my way to work. The first one amazes me as it was really dark at this point near the river ( which was very fast flowing) I had to feel my way down the steps and the rear screen would not work as it thought there was an eye at the view finder because of the darkness. I also wrecked the first few as I had knocked it on to shutter priority rather than aperture priority and could not see anything ( note to self bring a torch next time) I might take the point and shoot tomorrow as a comparison to the Sony A6000.
I had to do some naughty parking for this one.
These were not quite as interesting as I had hoped for.

The window does look rather nasty I have to admit, this passageway takes you from Bridgnorth Low town to High town but I haven't walked it for about 20 years despite going there 60 zillion times since. I only had about 10 mins but I will have to try and walk the full length of it to see if there are any better Angles to get it from or other features to look at.
This is literally next to the road at Low Town. The lamp also made it a little difficult to get any more shadow detail without blowing the lamp out completely. It maybe worth a look from above the lamp on the steps to shield the lamp a bit. I think it would be worth a walk around Bridgnorth to scout some locations as it is a historic town. But it would have to get up at 3am to spend any time there in darkness before work ( I'm not keen on that). In day light it is a tourist magnet.

A few experiments relating to the above ( sort of ,they were taken in my back garden with my point and shoot.) All shot at about 15 to 20 feet. As the point and shoot will only take in auto it may well have altered the settings to suit the lighting so is probably not the most effective experiment. I have also noticed how bad my spelling is whilst typing this ( A direct result of Thatchers Britain, One knackard text book per 4 students)
Just the light from the window
flash just to see how much detail would be gained.
No flash but with lamp on ( to see if the lamp would confuse the camera) Please note my house doesn't lean it's my wonky tripod ? ( I hope)
Flash to see if it improved the glare from the lamp

YO !! Richard the CANON EXPERT let me play with his all-singing-all-dancing CANON 7D today as we came out of a local cafe in Brentwood -- I had 'seen ' the table flowers and could see a picture with the background out of focus so I set f3.5 on the CANON EF 50mm f1.4 Super-Duper lens, AV auto RAW file and 'manual focus' and the DNG file I did in PhotoShop CC 2015 Edition to a J Peg . Hope you like it !

Today's muddy dog walk along Borle Brook.
A small but very deep tributary to Borle Brook ( does really show how deep the ravine is )
A welcome drink ( although there was deep puddles every where.
This was at the top of the fields !!

A few snaps on my lunchtime walk to try out the TTArtisans 23mm/f1.4 lens I just bought from @Damian Brown.

It takes a bit of getting used to just because it's completely manual, but I'm impressed with it so far in conjunction with focus peaking on the Fuji X-T2. Here's a full frame shot and close-up from the centre of the frame at either f1.4 or f2.

This morning I was forced to go shopping ! The sun was shining and the light looked great. I thought to myself this would be the day to go to Mitchel's Fold stone circle. Two hours later it was hammering down, like an idiot ( and I've fell for this a few times lately) I decided to use Mrs Badgers phone to guide us there, we got to 10 minutes away and then it told us 40 mins in the space of 20 seconds then we lost mobile signal and it all went to pot. We found the circle by sniffing in the breeze. The journey there took 2 hours the journey home by using a map and my brain took 1 hour ! Now I remember why I don't have a smart phone ! The first number of photos were took with a Sony A6000 but as the rain was that bad and it was getting really wet the old point and shoot had to come out to finish off.

They are pretty good. I've got the 17mm on my Fuji at the moment. I love it.

Hi, a rainy day :
Tried out ... :
... on a marketing give-away from 2005 :
Put in vice :
Used the wrench ... :
... to open it ... :
... to remove the battery :
I shall order a battery on another rainy day, perhaps. Normally, I only wear mechanic watches. The only times I wore a Quarz watch was on business trips to Russia.
So, why did I remove the battery?
It was more fun than doing my income tax ...
