Last Notes npub1znh4fy9ls5gudawwklmpp957ldl8l9cr07sxaeh486wfsta07xnsh25vuj ChrisR Yes, this. I try to boost where appropriate as well. But straying too fr from "I really like that" is very risky and potentially unkind on any SM. I'd really want to feel a real, developed connection to the individual before risking much more. Might ask a question about a work (in film photography, since that's where I lurk), but I'd probably do it in a PM. npub1znh4fy9ls5gudawwklmpp957ldl8l9cr07sxaeh486wfsta07xnsh25vuj ChrisR Did the subsequent air quality from the fireworks turn out as bad as predicted? I heard somewhere that the bad weather reduced the impact? npub1znh4fy9ls5gudawwklmpp957ldl8l9cr07sxaeh486wfsta07xnsh25vuj ChrisR Is that wild garlic? npub1znh4fy9ls5gudawwklmpp957ldl8l9cr07sxaeh486wfsta07xnsh25vuj ChrisR That's right lovely, Rick! npub1znh4fy9ls5gudawwklmpp957ldl8l9cr07sxaeh486wfsta07xnsh25vuj ChrisR Is that near Dartmouth, Rick? npub1znh4fy9ls5gudawwklmpp957ldl8l9cr07sxaeh486wfsta07xnsh25vuj ChrisR Great photo, and of a wonderful thing that most just wouldn't know! I do remember trying to eat raw limpet when very young! npub1znh4fy9ls5gudawwklmpp957ldl8l9cr07sxaeh486wfsta07xnsh25vuj ChrisR Very nicely done! npub1znh4fy9ls5gudawwklmpp957ldl8l9cr07sxaeh486wfsta07xnsh25vuj ChrisR I love those sorts of places, and I've always wanted to get in there and try to photo them. There used to be some in Cornwall, down in the gullies. I think you'd need a very wide lens and possibly a source of light too, often very murky places! npub1znh4fy9ls5gudawwklmpp957ldl8l9cr07sxaeh486wfsta07xnsh25vuj ChrisR He's sometimes a bit bleak and always, reliably uses "strong" language, but I really do like his analyses. npub1znh4fy9ls5gudawwklmpp957ldl8l9cr07sxaeh486wfsta07xnsh25vuj ChrisR Gorgeous! npub1znh4fy9ls5gudawwklmpp957ldl8l9cr07sxaeh486wfsta07xnsh25vuj ChrisR #SilentSunday #ICM #FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/115/280/457/462/465/231/original/8bca29f04aef2bc7.jpg npub1znh4fy9ls5gudawwklmpp957ldl8l9cr07sxaeh486wfsta07xnsh25vuj ChrisR St Anthony's Chapel again. #Pentax MX, SMC Pentax-M 35mm f/2 lens, yellow filter, #Kentmere200, home dev in HC110 dilution B (1+31) for nominal 5:30, home scanned. #BelieveInFilm #FilmPhotography https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/115/274/910/511/116/878/original/6af8a01a54f7fc64.jpg npub1znh4fy9ls5gudawwklmpp957ldl8l9cr07sxaeh486wfsta07xnsh25vuj ChrisR Under the bridge.
