News, Local history and Thanet issues from Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate see www.michaelsbookshop.com I publish over 200 books about the history of this area click here to look at them.
Walking around with my camera yesterday I promised a few Ramsgate people that their pictures would appear on the internet today, I am afraid one or two may have to wait until tomorrow.Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
WHERES MY PICTURE I always miss out on fame and fortune
ReplyDeleteIf Miles see's this "Hi Miles hope you are OK"
ReplyDeleteNew camera Michael?
ReplyDeleteTony same old camera, I took a whole bag of lenses with me and the tripod, I have also downloaded some updated software into the camera that helps.
ReplyDeleteThe main difference was today and yesterday I wasn’t looking after my 7 year old twins, so could look through the view finder, run sideways across this strip http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/Camera/id6.htm and you can see what it does with a 5k mm mirror lens, you can see from the horizon just how far away they are.
All the pictures are unedited just greatly reduced in definition for the web.
This is one of the other batches I took today it’s for promoting the new cycle shop that’s opened over the road from me. 6 to 40 mm zoom see http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/blogpicts3/id18.htm
But yes I do really need to update, its about 4 years old now, and only about 20 mega pixels, or at least give the inside a bit of a clean the crud in the sky is from when sneezed when changing lenses.
how come the BBC have to blur the faces of children and you do not?, Especially as thes kids are below 16 (apparantly)
ReplyDelete15.43 The children asked me to take their pictures and publish and publish them to the web for them, they are also customers of mine, I wouldn’t insult them by worrying that I could face some petty litigation because I wasn’t prepared to treat them like human beings which is what they are.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know the only other people treated in this way by the media are criminals.
watch any news report about schools. Either you can only see the kids legs or blurred faces. I do not think they are all criminals. I believe it is something to do with the child (no pun intended) protection act.
ReplyDeletePlease be careful michael
