We've just returned from a week's holiday in Rhodes. However the rhythms of my photography don't neatly align with those of the rest of my life, so this image is one of those processed on my old laptop using UFRaw. It will, however, be the last of these.
As to the image itself, it was taken well over a month ago. The strawberries that we had in pots on the riverbank have been over for a while now.
As an aside, if anyone can guess the obscure alt-rock reference of the title, they'll get an honourable mention in the next post on this blog, when the answer will also be revealed and I'll finally get round to posting an image produced by my new workflow.
Good news first: I now have film in my MTL3. Not Tri-X - Ilford HP5 Plus 400 - but film none the less. I was wandering past a branch of Jessops, popped in and that was all they had. I've been taking some happy snaps so watch this space for news of the result - I haven't actually established that the camera is working yet.
The bad news: my Sigma 50mm macro lens has developed a fault. The focusing ring has jammed such that I can't focus any closer than 0.6 m, which is pretty useless for a macro lens. A return to works job, I'm afraid and no more flower images in the meantime.
Oh well. The summer garden is almost over and I do have a fair few images backed up which will hopefully tide me over until my lens is fixed.
I'm still working on my old laptop, still using UFRaw. I have a couple more images from this batch to post and then I'll make the move. However, this is the last image of the jasione that I'll post - at least for now. They're still flowering, so its possible that I'll make some more images of them.
