Sunday evening, and I attended my very first ever ‘Drive-In Church Service.’ – with the Fujifilm X-T30 of course! No-one actually explained that you needed to be in a car! LOL,
But then, I’m a non-conformist anyway, so I was happy enough to sit on the grass verge outside the car park.

I’m running out of ides here. I hope this lockdown ends soon! Anyway, here’s a simple post!

Traffic Light Photography.
When I drive I keep the camera beside me, usually with a medium range zoom lens fitted. When I stop at traffic lights I wind down the window and look around me. If something interesting is happening, I shoot it. So this was the scene today at the bottom of the Limestone Road.
I liked the symmetry of the men’s postures.
Removing the colour made the image less fussy and distracting.

Janette and me went for a socially distanced walk around the Duckpond at Newtownards earlier this evening. (Kiltonga Nature Reserve). Lots of interesting birds around this evening!

Back in the garden again today, in glorious weather, and these little purple flowers have sprung up. (I confess that I am useless at ‘Horticultural Recognition’)

So, anyway, after I’d had a word or two with Angus, the black bull, he invited me to come up the field to meet his missus. (One of them). Perhaps he thought we humans need some herd immunity… I declined, and said I would catch her with the telephoto lens instead. I think he was disappointed, for he let out a mighty bellow.

I get really bored in Lockdown.

Tonight’s socially isolated single permitted exercise walk took me up the Tullygarvan Road, where I was privileged to meet young Angus here. He was having a cool refreshing drink of water when I arrived at his home, but he happily took a few minutes out of his busy schedule to pose for the camera – with a long lens!
Fujifilm X-T30, F=70mm, f/4 @ 1/125th sec on ISO800.
