Hi Bob and Merry Christmas to you! I’d enjoy the time off but the whole family has this cold and cough thats going around! I saw your post about the camera, I was looking to get a better one but decided to wait till this basic samsung got dropped/fell into a stream. I can’t believe how much I enjoy taking pics when I am out working/running/walking. I was hoping for better weather to get out and about , I may delve into the archives for snow pics from last year. All the best Mike

Merry Christmas old chap.

Sorry to hear about the colds. Hopefully, they’ll wear off as Christmas gets underway.

I can’t recommend the Panasonic highly enough. The drop that smashed it was really bad (it bounced down steps), but generally, they’ll survive the worst treatment without missing a beat.

Taking pictures the way we do is lovely. It makes you constantly look at your surroundings in a different way; you’re not just looking for a good photo, but for something interesting. It makes you study your environment far more closely than I think one would otherwise.

I think the weather looks like improving steadily now, which is good news for post-Christmas walks and rides.

I’m looking forward to a bit of snow, too.

Best wishes, have a great Christmas and a happy new year. I love your photography, it’s beautiful.

Cheers

Bob
