The morning was a washout.
It rained all morning and I was beginning to think that it would be another indoor picture. So, I chopped up a leek, some carrots and a wee turnip and made some Just Soup. By the time I’d got the pot boiling, the rain began to lessen but by now it was well into the afternoon. Scamp was happy to stay at home, so I turned down the gas on the pot and let it simmer.
Then I took my A7 with the standard lens and the weird Lensbaby and walked over to St Mo’s. It was a wet walk. Everywhere had turned into a bog, but I was heading into the trees to get more blossom photos before the flowers all dropped. I got a few photos and was quite happy with them. I’ve still not worked out exactly where the point of focus is with this strange lens. Every time I think I’ve got it set, it produces a different distortion effect. Instructions are scant on the InterWeb, so I’m left to my own devices. An hour or so later I returned and the sky was looking better and better.
Dinner was soup. It was just a basic soup with the chicken that was left over from the weekend chopped into it. Actually it worked out fine and made a good dinner and Scamp agreed.
Scamp had been trying to do a backup of her laptop, but the Macrium app kept displaying and error message. Also, the external drive was showing an error. It took a while for me to remember how to check a drive in Windows 10. Eventually I remembered to go into the root and then use CHKDSK with the ‘f’ letter for Fix. It did fix it, but the app still gave the error message. I must get to the bottom of this, but not tonight.
PoD turned out to be a branch of cherry blossom flowers taken with the Lensbaby Sweet 35 (not Sweet 50 as it says on Flickr).
Tomorrow I’m intending to meet Alex for a photo walk in Glasgow and maybe have a pizza in Paesano. Tomorrow night Scamp and I are intending practising the first half of the new Quickstep!
