  • A trip to Guildford

    Thursday, Feb 27, 2025

    A trip to Guildford and the Guildford House Gallery to see the soon-to-end exhibition of the shortlisted entrants to the Guildford House Open Competition. All the entrants can be seen at 2024 Exhibition — Guildford House Open Competition website.

    The gallery has a rather nice little gift shop which coincidentally had several greeting cards with pictures by the artist Eric Ravilious, whom I posted about just a few days ago. All images were taken with the camera not the phone – much better!

  • Ham to Richmond

    Tuesday, Feb 25, 2025

    A short River Thames walk from Ham to Richmond and back, with a snack at the National Trust’s Ham House. Pictures taken with an iPhone 13, in raw format. Disappointing pictures, even with the post processing – my camera would have done better. The sun shone later, and those images are a bit better.

  • Eric Ravilious (1903 –1942)

    Aren’t these rather splendid! What an interesting artist (Eric Ravilious – Wikipedia) and what delightful pictures (Eric Ravilious – Wikiart)

  • Leighton House, London

    Thursday, Feb 6, 2025

    It’s been a while since we last ventured into London. Today, on a gloriously sunny but cold day, we visited Leighton House near Holland Park. What a stunning museum it is, being the former home and studio of the Victorian artist Frederic, Lord Leighton (1830-1896).

    Pictures taken with my new iPhone 13. They’re OK – perhaps a bit better than OK. I think they’re over-sharpened. I’ll continue using my Sony RX100 camera. Taking pictures with a phone is so damn convenient but I still needed to do some post-processing.

    Some pictures I liked…..

    Followed by a walk around Holland Park…..

  • Match photos with the new iPhone

    Wednesday, Feb 5, 2025

    Taken last night at Sutton 3 – 2 Nottingham Forest U21, using my new iPhone 13 (replacing a tiny, old iPhone SE – 1st edition!). I hope I’ll notice an improvement in the photo quality and it will be interesting to see how the pictures compare to those taken with my Sony RX100 camera.

    As for the match, it was a good game to watch and I was much impressed by the Sutton team. A small crowd for this National League Cup match which now moves onto the quarter-final stage.

  • Seen on a walk

    Thursday, Jan 30, 2025

    On a gloriously sunny day (about time too!) a very pleasant walk through woodland. The sun was on my back, so no staring into the sun on this walk from Westhumble to Leatherhead, with a cake mid-way at Brocketts Farm
