A Picture That Goes With the Last Post

It's true. The light is softer in autumn and in spring. Somehow, in the autumn, the light looks 'older' and in spring it looks 'newer'.

I suppose that sounds pretty silly! YOur autumn looks a lot like the one we've had so far, though.

No, not silly at all- I think that's exactly how it is.

Sometimes in early evening at the cottage I go for a walk. The woods is full of captured sunlight - I love it. But I can't quite seem to take a picture of it. I'm sure part of it is that I *see* it in three dimensions, and when I take the picture it's just flat on the page.

If I had suzilem's eye and talent, perhaps I could take the picture and have it look like what I see-what I picture.

If I'm unsure about a photographic set-up I sometimes shut one eye to test how it's going to look with a dimension removed....

I'll have to try that. I went through a period of time where I HATED my camera (I have a pentax K-1000) and was going to sell it - there's a gentleman who owns the camera shop where I take it to be repaired, and he is interested in it. Now, maybe, I'm going back to it. I have a roll of Holga film to be developed, but I can't find anyone around here that does it...

There's one place in the whole of Manchester that will develop Holga film. I went there once and- well, it's a long trek and it's expensive and I'm afraid I've given up now on the plastic cameras...
