Summer seems to have fizzled out for the best part. After a week of blazing hot weather, it's now much cooler. Shadows had been growing precluding my usual afternoon commute snap anyway, but I took a punt on 4L85 yesterday as the light was neutral. Interestingly the Fred's passage through a rain shower earlier in its journey gives it the look of a recent repaint!
It makes a change, this tour was in our neck of the woods but with money tight negating the opportunity to travel on it, Dad and I took the motor out and chased it instead.
I mostly used the video to record its passage (and will post footage next time I'm on the Mac) but a recent software acquisition on the phone is "Frame Grabber" for Xperia. A super little bit of code, it'll allow you to turn a frame from video into a medium sized jpeg, just the thing with the camera doing its funny business lately!
We took the motor out for a drive on Friday, initially for a recce of possible phot locations around Ardleigh in Essex. There's a reason the area is not featured in the enthusiast mags, there are no phot locations!
Undeterred and to make the most of the weather, we headed for Harwich. A town full of history, my main interest was the remnants of the train ferry.
The Xperia is still playing silly buggers, I attempted the phot attached of 4L85 yesterday. Regular readers will note it's in the same location as previous afternoon commute snaps.
I don't know which is more annoying, the fact it's not working properly or that it's inconsistent in which pictures it does it...grr.
Last Friday Dad and I had a wander around the Trimley area. Must've walked the best part of five miles I reckon, I'll stick to the docks next time I think!
