An unexpected journey

Over on Patreon, Part 1 of the story of a very unexpected invitation and journey to the centre of power, the heart of Empire, made by Kelley and I in February. It was startling, fabulous, and wonderful. But it’s a long story it will arrive in segments. The picture above is a Clue—admittedly a confusing and contradictory one (actually Very Wrong if you’re familiar with British history and the UK’s constitutional government)—but, eh, I don’t care: I just wanted to draw an Early Medieval version of the symbols of power. And as one friend put it, “My dear, you’ve been noticed by government,” and that seems worthy of a bit of playful poetic licence.

Also, I thought the Early Medieval lion, okay half lion, would do as my Çaturday post, as I don’t have a current pic of either Charlie or George because they are too busy inspecting all the flowers we’re in the middle of planting on our decks. We still need to buy a few more, but at least we’ve begun. Expect pictures of pretties soon.

Doing more tests as to how viable #Darktable actually is in my #photography workflow.

Here is a shot of #BigBen at night shot with the #Olympus #OMSystem E-P7 with the 45mm f/1.8.

It's actually not done too badly at all. I am slowly contemplating on getting rid of some of my full frame kit and adding more lenses to my #MicroFourThirds line-up.
