Dateline: May 31st 2020
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.
Dateline: May 30th 2020
Janette brought these freshly-dug new Comber potatoes home today. This morning they were in the ground. Tomorrow, they will be boiled, (Over here, we don’t peel these potatoes, we just scrub them and boil them in their skins – when ready the skins will almost fall off them) salted and served with lashing of butter. The Comber potato is a waxy, flavoursome food, and a protected brand.
I photographed them in the Studio-Pod, under two Elinchrom D-Lites, with the Fujifilm X-T2, and Nikkor 50mm MF lens, against a green chromakey background. F=50mm, f/5.6 @ 1/125th sec on ISO400.
Some time ago I made images of a field of barley at Comber, and I uploaded two of them to Pixabay, the photo-sharing website.
They’ve been downloaded 91 times, so far, – which is quite nice. But just down the road from the now-harvested barley field, there are acres upon acres of cabbages, and since I now consider myself an expert vegetable – (photographer!) – I couldn’t resist stopping to get a few photos. Of cabbages… Er, yes. Cabbages.
