Click to Expand. Ramsgate; Eat, Drink and Party, Photos, Local History and art

 

Out on the tiles in Ramsgate last night, chatting to Michael's Bookshop customers, drinking beer and eating a curry in Wetherspoons AKA The Royal Victoria Pavilion, like a boy with a toy taking photos with my phone. The photo above is two photos joined to form a panorama under the influence of the beer.

Back in the good old days I had an expensive camera and a darkroom, now I can do what I used to do with that setup with my mobile phone's camera. Monochrome or in simple "black and white", I never advanced to processing colour prints.

The idea with this type of photography is to adjust the phone's camera settings to produce pictures of familiar views that are unusual enough to make people think about them.

I just don't have the time to use a computer program to change the photos after I have taken them. you can see two diffrent settings used on the same view here.

Next some old photos of Ramsgate and Margate.

On to art and things didn't go that well in my sketchbook this week, a bit of clicking will expand any of them 

Here at Michael's Bookshop we have been fairly busy 

Here is the link to the photos of the books that have just come in
