Old pier by ingrid2101

Old pier

Doing everything by phone, trying to figure out a way to scan and upload photos. We have an ancient computer upstairs that I'm going to see if it works. My oldest son spent the last 4 summers in between Uni working in a computer shop repairing computers and his verdict is not good. Doing everything by phone is taking soooooo long too. This is a pier in Hoy that I edited in snapseed - the sky was actually really dull that day but the "drama" filter always brings out parts that you can barely see. Will try and catch up but it could take a while and I'm missing seeing large views.
I like it

@frida Frida it's so slow it actually makes my skin go all itchy with sheer frustration. It takes over 3 minutes to load a page !! Ha ha. I feel a new laptop coming on :)

@ingrid2101 it must have a twin in mine! mine is actually so bad that the screen actually goes a light pink too:) That's right you keep putting the idea out there and the Universe will respond, it did for me :))))

@frida Aghhh they sound related. It's true though I usually find a way of getting something - just spent a fortune on old camera, chemicals and snorkelling gear though!!

@ingrid2101 i badly want a lensbaby and then a medium format mamia or dual rollei... the key is to pace yourself so that the rest of them do not take notice of the extreme selfishness this hobby feeds on :))) snorkeling gear required holidays in the warm Maldives or something of that kind, decisions decisions :)))))
