Meet Ernie

I went to visit dad yesterday morning, and met with this lovely little scene. A local charity, Young At Heart, had arrived with a carriage load of gifts for the residents of the care home. How lovely. Ernie is a rescue horse from a local animal charity, at Bellwade. I happened to have my camera with me, so I stopped to get a wee pic before going up to see dad. In the interests of full disclosure, I have to say that I also took some 'super' photos later of dad with Ernie, but had clearly knocked the setting on my camera when popping it into my rucksack and they were all as black as night, and no use at all. Not even retrievable! So annoyed with myself. That will teach me to check the images on the camera as I go, and not assume that it's all going fine! Ah well, onwards and upwards.
Oh no, so sorry about the setting error! This is a fab wee shot. What a lovely idea!

Good ol' Ernie, didn't he drive the fastest milk cart in the West?

Lovely treat for everyone. How frustrating about the camera settings 🙄

A lovely shot of Ernie working for charity! So sorry re you pics of your Dad, can you not photoshop one to show him?

Oh so easy to have that happen. Always when we are shooting fast.

Great shot.
(On my x pro 1 I have a white sticker that says CHECK CHECK CHECK. The exposure adjustment button can easily move as it isn’t locked. The manual focus button can easily be knocked. And the electronic viewfinder button can be switched off. Otherwise no problem!!!)

Oh no shame about the photo of your Dad with Ernie, but you have a lovely shot here.

A lovely picture and a great project. Wonderful for Ernie to have found such a worthy occupation. I understand your frustration, having experienced similar incidents :-)

What a cute festive photo!
I can relate to your frustrations, I’ve done that a few times! Lol

How nice to meet Ernie and have these great memories with your Dad too.

Yes good old ernie… lovely scene

Great photo of Ernie , sorry about your dad photos . My Sony's show me the photo immediately after the click ( electronic viewfinder ) . It's so easy to forget our photo discipline when we have a great scene in front of us and a short time to shoot

Super capture, such a pain about your dads photos.

What a fun capture. Sorry about the photos of your dad. They are still there in your head so that's the most important thing.

How annoying Issi! This one is a lovely shot but to get your dad & Ernie would have been special, never mind hopefully next year!

Lovely festive capture. Many strange settings have ruined my session, but sometimes it goes the other way and thanks to the wrong settings you get new, wonderful inspiration. But I know that when it comes to family photos, such damage hurts twice as much.

Such a lovely thing to do. We had the Rotary club Santa truck round the doors recently. They play music and collect for local charities. Everyone comes to their doors and windows to watch.

Cute pic. To bad about the others

Cute capture. Guess that's one thing I have on my camera, is a view of each shot after you take it. Works so well for lighting, but for some of the blurr, doesn't do as well.

Lovely photo. Shame we missed out on seeing Dad with Ernie though
December 11th, 2023  
What a fun shot. Sorry about the other photos-we do keep learning
