Freelance Wastrel’s 9th birthday!
‘Freelance Wastrel’ was nine years old on Sunday 🎂 (and I forgot!)
During the past 12 months I’ve written 73 posts containing 78 images.
I’ve posted images from 16 digital cameras, 14 film cameras and 10 different film stocks are represented! (9 black & white, 1 colour).
Thank you all once again for reading, following and putting up with my waffling.
Throwback Thursday… Sidmouth Folk Festival
The only way is Sidmouth – £7
Panasonic Lumix GX1, Olympus 15mm f/8 Body Cap Lens, 1/640s, f8, ISO 160
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
13 years ago it was the Sidmouth Folk Festival in Devon.
Stormy Dawn – Exeter
Panasonic Lumix GX1, Olympus 15mm f/8 Body Cap Lens, 1/500s, f8, ISO 160
Not being a huge fan of folk music I mainly just wandered and snapped away but I did enjoy this chap…

Panasonic Lumix GX1, Panasonic LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 at 22mm, 1/200s, f5.6, ISO 640
I didn’t get much use out of the Panasonic Lumix GX1, I found the 16MP Micro Four Thirds sensor to be far too noisy for my liking and I remember wishing I’d stuck with the 12MP Lumix GF1.
