Finally, surf photos
Having got a nice heavy nikkor 300/4, I have just enough length for photos of the lineup.

A view that no longer exists…
A photo from 2009 when we still lived in the flat in Sutherland. Now there is a block of flats and a rail commuter car park where this photo is looking. Our house is great, but we can’t see the horizon for sunrise or sunset. I miss sunset especially in autumn as it mostly…

Old is new again
Back in the 80s, Dad let me use his Nikon F with the photomic finder. Here is a slide from that era: (Remember, these sat around for ~30 years before processing. This is a crop and was taken near the wreck of the Cherry Venture, at a guess Dad shot this with his F3) Much…

It’s no fun replacing the antenna on an AU Falcon
Snapped the antenna mast on my car. New masts are ~$25. How hard can it be? Yeah. In the hope this helps someone else… Put the car in the garage and turn out the lights. You’ll see later. Turn the steering hard left to access the inside of the wheel bay. Try to undo the…

Argghhh
Why! Oh why? see, cleaver people are able to keep their wits about them even when so many other things (and 5 year olds) are vying for their attention. Not me, I slipped up and opened the 4 roll tank “a bit”. Maybe I’ll get something off the bottom roll. I hate myself right now.…
