We had a surprise trip to Whitby. The light seemed to be very harsh, I was pleased any pictures came out.
Entering.
Leaving.
There were a lot of young foreign gentlemen and all were impeccably dressed in what looked to be expensive suits and one carried an umbrella. There were a number of them on the replica galleon playing music, dancing and cheering and having a great time. I wonder who they were.

did my weekly visit to the swans/cygnets as im recording their growth and was totally
surprised when the mom swan climbed up onto the bank and actualy let me hand feed her, the cygnets quickly followed and started to eat the swan pellets i put on the grass. it ended up with the mom and dad swans standing right next to me and the four cygnets sat in a row in front of me so close i could just reach out and touch them if i wasn't positive that the parents would have bitten my fingers lol

I like the "lighting", but can't say why
It has an almost film like or mild HDR appearance, and shows more detail than you would normally expect. To me, very nice.

Thank you. The harshness and glare were at levels I don't see too often and made metering difficult when shooting into it so I was pleased to get anything.

Another random collection from my dog walk.
This one was not taken today or with the same camera But is included to show the difference with the building.. The rest are today with my cheap superzoom.
As you can see someone has removed the extension to the building on the left which was a forge. A retro edit !
A retro Colour film cheap camera edit !

This morning dog walk on the Severn Valley Park Alverly and Highley ( the park is both sides of the river and a former coal mine site.
Believe it or not this slugie water cleaned the dogs up ! Trying to get this photo showed up the weaknesses of the camera (Kodak Az401 bridge) , I set to shutter priority at 250th and took about 5 shots ,this being the best. There seems to a 1/2 second delay from pressing the shutter to it taking the photo !
Using this camera makes me think why did I buy the Sony a6000 ? The Sony is clearly better quality than this cheap super zoom but I am quite impressed by the results and it makes me wander would I have been better off buying a £400ish superzoom/Bridge camera as it's all in one package would have been more useful to me.
Poor photographers and here is how it looks !
Tight squeeze !

The camera is a cheap Kodak AZ401 retaling at the time at a 1/4 of the Sony's A6000's price. it suffers a few problems Such as poor Dynamic range, the delay in taking the shot from pressing the shutter and because of the small sensor lack of control over depth of field, The depth of field problem only ever rears it's head very occasionally so 95% of the time is not an issue the other two problems do cause difficulty. On the other hand It's a relatively small set up when you consider all the lenses and extra cost associated with them that would be required from the Sony to get the same focal length range. I'm guessing a better quality Bridge camera would have at least reduced the gap between the two cameras.
I've altered the above post to include more detail !

I'd say there isn't a great deal wrong with them TBH.
Obviously, the current photoshop is the most widely used, or so it seems.
Outrageously priced IMO.
Faststone is quite good, and free ( windows only)
Affinity is a good substitute for PS, and around 60 quid, one time payment.

River walk near Pavenham Beds today, I walked to the river bank and the Cormorant popped up from under the water and fled at the sight of me.
We got to the car seconds before the dark cloud opened up and lashed down.
Stopped at a locasl lake after and snapped the Gull.

Bridges over river Conwy
L to R, Modern bridge, Telford's suspension built 1826 and Stephenson's railway bridge 1849
Most traffic now goes via tunnel under the estuary and avoids the town
