  More pics, less gear.
It's the usual story: we get so involved with the camera that we take fewer photos. So, I've been looking through some recent pics and I found this one. The one here is a crop of the original - I thought the panoramic look suited it (and I can pretend that I have a Hasselblad (grin)). It was taken maybe half an hour before sunset at Lindisfarne, alias Holy island, which is off the northeast coast of England. The photo was shot handheld and as with every photo in the blog, the print is far better than the scan.


Lindisfarne, England

The posts visible are markers to help people who walk across the mudflats to the island, which is also linked to the mainland by a causeway.

Mjuser Tips

Buy two: they're cheap.
Put 100iso in one and 800/1600iso in the other. Use the first by day and the other by night. It beats compromising on 400iso film everywhere.

Use extreme film.
The Mju can handle anything from 50iso - 3200iso.
Become a night owl.

There's a spotmeter.
Use it.

Switch the flash off.
Flash can turn your subject into a victim.
Sometimes the camera doesn't even need it.
Use fast film instead.

Try black and white.
You can now get b&w film that can be processed in colour labs.

Have it on you.
Keep chanting that one...

Take your time.
The Mju is so good that you can use it like an SLR.
So take your time and compose your shots properly.

It's behind you!
Remember to look behind you as you walk along.
You could be missing a great photo.

RTFM: read the f... ine manual.
There are things you won't find out if you don't.
See spotmeter above.
