Decided to take a break from Hong Kong and spend a few days in and around Osaka, Japan. It rained quite hard today, so we took a riverboat trip. Also found some LED geese.

St Mary’s Church Sennicotts
ByGarf 2024-01-302025-02-06

Driving through the West Sussex countryside on my way back Chichester, I spotted this tiny stone Chapel, literally right in the middle of nowhere. The board outside read St Mary’s Church Sennicotts. But the odd thing is there is no other building near. Nearest building I could see was about 400 metres away. The church’s…

My shiny new 20 TB Ultrastar hard disk
ByGarf 2022-01-282025-08-18

I recently purchased a new 20 TB Ultrastar hard disk that UK supplier Scan Computers has on special offer.

The very first Garf Technology Christmas card, 1988 Hardly the prettiest card ever made, but it had a sort of simplistic purity. Well, that’s our excuse and we’re sticking to it! 🙂

Some readers may remember that during lockdown, I wrote an article concerning the large stag beetle grubs I discovered round the back of my shed?

A few close-ups with my Fujian 35mm f/1.7 CCTV lens
ByGarf 2017-04-192025-02-06

I treated myelf to a new lens the other day, a Fjujian 35mm F/1.7. This thing has no stop clicks. But it’s astonishingly well-made, of all metal/glass construction and behaves very much like a Victorian Petzval lens. It’s a “C” mount and fits nicely (and fills the frame) on my µ4/3 cameras with a simple…

Merry Christmas 2020
ByGarf 2020-12-242025-02-06

Seems we had to put up with Donald Trump, Brexit and Coronavirus all in one year! Here in Havant on the south coast of England, we are now in what our Government describes as a coronavirus Tier 4 area. Personally I don’t mind staying at home. I have enough food, half a bottle of decent-is…
