You know what it’s like, same old faces, same old places but every now and then a different opportunity arises and you get to see things in a whole new light.

When I picked up my new lens I treated myself to a polarizing filter and I’ve been scratching my head to its usefulness but this morning in the hard light and reflections it came into its own and I really saw the difference it made.

The camera goes away on the 1st Jan…. Maybe
Because I’ve got so many better things I could be doing…
