Couldn't get out at all yesterday due to the constant rain - although one of the photography groups I belong to on Facebook was asking for volunteers to go over to Billing Aquadrome to shoot the floods. Nope, maybe if they'd asked before 4.30 p.m. I might have ventured out but by that time it wouldn't have been certain that I could get back to the village - the disadvantage of living on a hilltop. We don't get flooded, we get cut off!
This was a bit of an experiment with the balloon I was given on the day I retired, 8th December. Now virtually deflated, I hung it from the curtain rail in the lounge which has a handy camellia bush outside for bokeh and tried shooting it with various lenses (what you do when you're bored....!) The 40-150 f4 worked best, and I just flipped horizontally and vertically so that the writing was the right way round and up.
