2024 Project 52 - Weekly photos by Geoff F - part 3

[Geoff F]

Once again, I will be attempting to post at least one photo per week throughout 2024.

Week 34 - The local Vintage Machinery Show. I attended this annual event as part of Salcombe History Society but also managed to wander around with my camera. The first day was a waste of time due to thick fog. Even taking photos of the history society exhibit in the Crafts Tent was a struggle due to the poor light. I tried using the camera pop up flash but that tended to create light rebound problems.

The second day also started looking bleak but slowly cleared to sunshine, which produced a rather harsh light.

A fascinating set of photos. I've worked my way through the first part of your second day photos on pbase and will return to them.

Geoff, thanks for posting the link to pbase.com (what is it, by the way). Some absolutely superb historical narrative shots and an absolute stunner in horses#1

P base is one of the smaller photo hosting sites for people who are more serious about their photography. There is a small charge (about $20 per year) but it is a secure site with no advertising or the selling on of your data etc.

When I was initially looking for a hosting site I considered some of the bigger names but couldn't understand how most of them worked. P base is simple to use and quite adaptable. I have been with them for many years.

Week 35 - Snapes Point. Yesterday I spent a few hours recording wildlife at a point which juts out into the harbour. The day started with sunshine but by midday some high cloud was increasing.
