    In a surprising turn of events a good little’n beats several good big’ns

    ByDMcA October 22, 2012November 23, 2012

    In prior posts I have waxed on and so on and so forth about my latest camera, the Sony RX-100.  Every now and again I actually take photographs with it, which I hope allays the boredom for non-technically minded readers of this site.  Recent test results have shown the little beauty performs better than some…

    Autumn in Richmond Park

    ByDMcA October 15, 2012

    Arrived back in the UK from a short Malaysia trip to find Autumn in full swing.  This also means rutting stags and other delights in Richmond park, just up the road from our gaff.      We are very lucky in living a few hundred metres from a small side entrance to Richmond Park.  This…

    Saturday was a typically not very busy day here in the Vienne. In this post I am happy to offer you some photographs of not much happening, which, in an engineering breakthrough, can now be seen by Apple iThing users.…. Last Saturday, after a spot of shopping, and an execrable lunch at the corner bar…

    The Vienne in Autumn

    ByDMcA September 25, 2012September 26, 2012

    We are back in our favorite quiet corner of France to pay bills and agree the next stages in the endless process of getting our house here renovated.  In the process I have been using the tips from Gary Friedman’s very fine photography seminar in Kingston last week to take some photos of the immediate…

    Street photographs with the RX-100

    ByDMcA September 14, 2012September 26, 2012

    My new little Sony RX-100 camera has sparked a renewed interest in taking lots of photographs – which is the only way to get a few decent ones.  But its lens has made me move to a different style.  A few of the more reasonable shots are shown here, along with a link to some…

    On Portability – Cameras Part 8: the latest little thing

    ByDMcA September 14, 2012

    In the series up to now I have been chasing the ideal portable camera.  I’ve just got a new favorite which is so compact for its quality that it appears to break the laws of physics.  Meet the Sony RX-100….     Those of you who have read all the ‘cameras’ series will have gathered…

Latest News September 2021

“Still alive and able to get about quite well” is the overall report.  We are all fine, albeit with the usual ups and downs.  The site has been spiffed up a bit, and should be faster and easier to navigate.  I might even put some new content on – see What’s happening? for more info.

On other fronts, I think my photography techniques and images have improved quite a lot  over the last 4 years, and I have discovered a fascination for the technical and technique challenges of photographing birds in flight.  Have a look at mcaughtry.photo to see if you agree.  I have also discovered the delights of artisan coffee, and have built a spiffy state of the art digital audiophile music system, all of which I may write about in the future. So no shortage of things to interest or infuriate me.

But most of all my life has been enriched and inspired by my two beautiful and funny grandchildren, 5 and 2 years old as I write.  Why couldn’t I have been like this when I was their age I ask myself?  I am privileged to know them and my heart skips on each encounter.
