This is a single handheld shot on a very misty Scottish night. The lens
used was an old SMC Pentax-M 135mm 3.5 prime full manual which on a crop
sensor is around 200mm. Shot at ISO 800 and 1/750 sec. Perhaps the settings could have been better but other than a quick guess there was no time to dial in other settings.
What can I say about the lack of promised posts. I could blame covid-19 that however would not be true, it's more laziness on my part.
I have become so disillusioned by many of the photo sharing sites some I have been on for around fifteen years I decided to come back to blogging. Talking of covid the first image was taken just before we knew about it here and just weeks before lock down. A black and white image something I find myself more and more drawn to which also ties to a second image.
Here we have Old Castle Lachlan which sits on the banks of Loch Fyne over in Argyll and Bute. Sitting on land first recorded in 1314 although this building dates to later with nothing visible remaining of the original. The new Castle Lachlan is within sight of this spot built in 1790.
The second image also black and white probably taken just a few years after the last pandemic the 1918 flu pandemic. Taken just about a mile down the road from the castle at Barnacarry Bay. The old boy with the beard was my great great Grandfather.
