Lens repair – Tamron 14mm-150mm
ByGarf 2022-07-032025-02-06

I’m ashamed to admit that I managed to drop my camera c/w my favourite 14mm-150mm Tamron super-zoom lens yesterday. I failed to secure the camera correctly to the tripod and it fell crashing to the ground, lens-first. Fortunately the camera, a tiny µ4/3 Lumix DMC-GX7, seemed unharmed.

Some of my favourite computers require no PSU, no batteries, no RAM, no disks, no upgrades and they are 100% resistant to all known malware. No, I’m not talking about some newfangled Linux.

Another walk across Southampton Common
ByGarf 2006-07-162025-02-06

It’s rather pleasant living opposite Southampton Common. Always lots to see and photograph, especially on a nice warm summer’s day like today. These shots were taken using a tiny Lumix DMC-LX1 digital camera. Pretty good results, I think, all things considered.

Brass monkey weather
ByGarf 2022-12-142025-02-06

Here on the central south coast of England, it is rare for temperatures to drop much below freezing. This cold snap we recorded -4.5 °C at night and barely rising above 0°C during the day. And thanks to economies we’re making due to the ridiculously high price of natural gas, the house itself seldom rose…
