A few shots from various explores recently. A textile mill, a power plant, a steel works, and a historic black college.

Another great trick to steady things up is too hang your camera bag from the centre point underneath the tripod. This provide additional weight and stability to the set up.

^ Lookin' good. 

Rule of thumb, the heavier the tripod the better. Big smile


A few shots from various buildings, with two lenses across two states. Gonna be a bit picture heavy.

I once made raspberry jam with fresh-picked English raspberries. If there's a heaven, that's what it must taste like, on a scone with Cornish cream.

Fresh picked with cream for breakfast. Next up is the blueberries. Western Washington has a great climate for berries.
