Piccies by Oy - 4

Ok - new thread time.

Here are two shots from 7th Sept - but I only got the negatives back from Ilford Labs yesterday.

I took these on a 1980s Fuji GS645S medium format rangefinder camera - using Ilford Delta 100 black and white film.

Oh you clever fellow.....how good are they......😊

Instantly recognisable, superb one again.

I like the first one

Love the first one. Not been to Southport for years

Ta

Here are two from Bolton Museum today...

Going up



Going down

clever clogs!!!......😊

I must be thick are missing something in these photo's marks out of 10 for your photo OY none, someone please explain the photo's to me

The person is blurred because of the movement.....it is a special effect and Dave will explain it to you I am sure.....😋

Liz I can take blurred photo's without even trying when people move when I'm taking their photo,only joking OY

If I had to explain Dougie - you wouldn't understand

Today we had a trip out to North Wales. A gorgeous sunny day!

Here are two from The Marble Church at Bodelwyddan...

Lovely Dave.....harvest time.....🚜]/p]

Oy always thought that was St Asaph? Lovely shots whichever it is

Ta

Rio - the sign on it says St. Margaret of Antioch, in the Diocese of St Asaph.

Brill shots. Some stunning Churches in very rural parts of Wales.

Ta

Today at the old Town Hall.

Not much left now.

Sad.....😞😞

Oy is quite right, this is not st Asaph church .both the church and cathedral are a little more inland. The cathedral being the smallest in Wales, if not the UK.

King Street today

Oy That Bolton Museum is brilliant. I took my grandchildren last week.

Last night. An evening looking at old (and some new) photos - good friends and good beer = WIN!

You must be thick, cos you obviously don't appreciate photographic art or moood photography, Oy's photos are brilliant and I have been to Bolton Museum many a time, mainly to look at the aquarium there, but last time I went the aquarium was closed

Although there is all the controversy going on about the old town hall being demolished, I do think that the area looks better now the eyesore is being demolished and it will look even better, when the demolition is complete and I have heard that Brocol House's days are numbered, so if that is demolished too, then that part of Wigan at the bottom of King Street, will look very different and 0pen and it will need building on and I personally think that Wigan needs to have it's very own very tall skyscraper, to put Wigan on the map (flight maps) because such a new building, should be so high, that flashing navigation lights will need to be attached to the top of the building, to stop planes crashing into it.

I was thinking of a building akin to the 'Shard' in that London and maybe the Wigan version could be called the 'Splinter' because Southerners refer to broken glass as being 'Shards' of glass, but us Northerners call them 'Splinters' of glass, well I do anyway

Aye Wigan would look great with a monster glass skyscraper hahahaaa

Here are a few from today's Civil War Reenactment...

BOOM!



"Soup's nearly ready lads!"

Sir bob, I was talking about just the two blurred photo's

Liz,Dougie The person is blurred because of the movement.....it is a special effect

Dougie,Liz I can take blurred photo's without even trying when people move when I'm taking their photo,only joking OY

Out in the shrubbery today for what may be the last Dragonfly hunt of the year.

This is my fave of the day – Two mating Black darters – taken up in a tree with the Nikon 300mm F4. Shortly afterwards these flew down and landed on my shirt! All I could do was bag a few shots on my iPhone lol.

I miss you posting new photos here, Oy, but am really enjoying following your blog:

oyphotos.blog.com

The photo sections & the new photo theme threads over on WW Forum are great, too.

Thanks Jo anne

I'll keep posted stuff - as long as people still want to look at them. When I get no comments - it makes me think they don't. So I stop.

Keep posting Dave.....the more places you do the more people have access to your work.....👍
Same as me with the Anagram ...I have only a few lovely followers that post....but there are a lot that view....so me thinks that a lot do the Anagram without posting....👍....anyway that is how I see things.....keep up the good work, you are fab at it.....😊

Ok - here's a recent piccie for your perusal.

Courtyard at Merton College Oxford University - where my eldest has just started her 3 year PHD.

Looking at this picture so reminds me of the TV series Inspector Morse....I can just see him and Lewis strolling around there....lovely pic Dave...👍😊

Owd stylee again today.

A mooch round Manchester with an old manual focus Nikon F3 35mm film camera.

Here's a Harley that came whizzing past my on one of the back streets. Hard to nail with manual focus!

Never been a bike "Mon" but always enjoy the throbbing sound of a passing Harley. Don't think our kid will agree somehow

Hi oy...nice bit of panning on the Harley.

Ta :)

Lancaster Castle Gatehouse - Former HMP Lancaster.

Taken in the rain this evening.

awesome Dave. But very ominous ....😧

Here's a shot I took about a month ago but only got my negs back today.

The Marble Church that I posted in colour (digital) earlier on in this thread.

This time on black and white film.

Lovely pics - especially the Oxford one.

I did a tour once of Lancaster Castle, it is a fantastic place and so interesting with what has taken place there over the centuries.

So much more of a photographic statement in monochrome Dave....beautiful....👍👍

Oy - if you're considering a new host for your blog - www.blogger.com seems to be good.

Thanks Jo anne - blogger is on my list for sure.

Just back from a week away - lots of pix to share

Here's a steam choo-choo at Grosmont Station.

Hi Dave....always liked choo choos.....Fight for Vera Fund....must have a story behind it.....very nice pic....😎

Love the last shot, actually thought it was St Ives at first glance. What you can do with a good camera

Aye rio - these iPhones are getting better all the time

This is Hutton-le-hole on the North Yorkshire Moors.

Another holiday snap - another from Whitby.

The mono is brill Dave.....the last photo has amazing colours they really jump out at me.....did you buy anything.....I can see one or two things that may have come home with me....😎

Agree with lizzie, some fabulous colours in the last shot

Eeeee it was a bit glum on t'market today!

Another monochrome beauty....thank you Dave I haven't seen that scene for nearly 50 years....you are a star....doesn't matter if it is raining....in my album....☺️

Love those Whitby shots, and the rugs/kilims.

........thank you Dave .....

Thanks for all your photos, Oy. I've noticed you've got a new Bloyg now.

Beltin photos. Oy

Here's one I took in Garwood last week. I see two big angry eyes and a wide menacing mouth!

Oy fan-tastic

Just had a look at your pictures Oy - absolutely fantastic. Are you not posting any more? x

Thanks :)

Lesley - I'm waiting to see what happens to this site and who the alleged new owners are before I take the time and trouble to contribute further.

Presumably you've stopped sending pics in for photo a day as well Oy. Thought I hadn't seen any of yours for a bit. I sent some in a few weeks ago but never heard back.
