Title: Musically Minded
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 5D MkIII / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Extras: Tripod / CamRanger
Notes: Over the years I’ve learned to play various musical instruments, including Piano, Recorder, Clarinet, Percussion and most recently Electric Bass. I’m not very good at the latter, but I enjoy a noodle along to some of my favourite tunes every now and then. This is the last of the Treasure Hunt Themes #12 – In The Frame – December.

Camera: Canon EOS 100D / 18-135mm EF-S f3.5-5.6 IS STM

Title: Relic Of The Cold War
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 100D / 18-135mm EF-S f3.5-5.6 IS STM
Extras: Self-timer
Notes: That’s the camera, not me! This is my Zorki-6 1960 Soviet Rangefinder 35mm camera which I hope to be using in my Retro365 project next year. I need to run a test film through it first, so that I know I can “trust” it with daily shots (after all, you can’t see the results until it’s too late to take another when using film!). An eBay bargain, it arrived from Ukraine on Christmas Eve. Perfect timing.

Title: Not In The Mood
Location: Peckham, London
Camera: Canon EOS 100D / 18-135mm EF-S f3.5-5.6 IS STM
Extras: Self-timer
Notes: Nearly missed my selfie today, with just 5 more to go! It’s what comes of being out of my usual routine. I spent another nice day with friends in Peckham, including a bracing walk around Battersea Park this afternoon. But I’m full of cough/cold/cat allergy/medication and really wasn’t in any mood to take a self portrait. Eventually managed something late in the day, but I don’t look happy about it… C’est la vie.
