Not a very flattering photo of me but it's the only one Nigel got in focus (100mm lens can be tricky & I don't think he had his glasses on). I'm knitting for my cousin whose baby is due next week. Luckily the wool is chunky so it's very fast I was joined by a wet cat who kept getting up and changing position on my lap but mercifully mostly left the wool alone. Adam is putting together a portfolio of his work for interviews in the next few weeks and he's made the floor sticky with spray mount - the cat does a comedy walk on the sticky patches and looks most disgusted.
Three GT:
1. No sugar in a gin and slim
2. A very nice lemon cake which I made for pud - first sweet snack I've had in a week or more.
3. Adam scored a hat trick in hockey.
yes 100 mm is very tricky. I get disappointed and others times I'm happy with the results. I'm a knitter too but not brave enough for what you are doing. love the cat with you.....mine want to play with the yarn....
Hmmmmm maybe Nigel should have tried a tripod. Spot focussing normally does the trick too. A nice bit of domestic bliss.
A little tip that I've picked up from Camera Club, is that the min shutter speed for hand held shots is usually about the equivalent of the focal length of your lens i.e 1/50 th of a econd for a 50mm, 1/100th of a second for a 100mm lens. So Nigel was close to the limit with this shot.
"Go Adam" :)
Ooh I missed this gem....I was scrolling back tossed what you meant about sticky floors & portfolios & saw this homely shot! No end to your talents Judith....is this for the littke rugby baby?
How divine! I just knotted a Peruvian style hat with ears flaps in rowan alpaca I was chuffed I can still knit with both hands on the round to speed up two colour knitting after a 25 year break - you can't beat a good old needle clicking session

And congrats to Adam on his exceptional play!
