Photoxon: Went to Bath last Saturday.

Wednesday 14 December 2016

Went to Bath last Saturday.

It was a wash out (yeah, I know) with a miserable, wet Saturday and crowds so dense there were parts of the Christmas markets we couldn't actually reach. I did take some pictures of the city but, to be honest, they're dull and grey, however there's more than just a cityscape to a city.

Firstly, Lush had an attractive store assistant standing on a barrel puring bright pink frothy liquid back & forth between 2 jugs. And she was kind enough to smile at me.

Further into the city we walked past this window, stopped & did a double take. I like this photo because there's more than just the surface humour to it, and it was a little more than just a grab-shot.

Marc - I think Dixie would find this funny, if you showed her.

About Toni Ertl

I have been living in rural North Oxfordshire for more than 25 years, after moving here from South London in 1990. At first it felt like being on holiday, but quickly became home for us.

Although this area, and the Cherwell valley in particular, are now very familiar, there is always something special to see and make me want to reach for the camera.

For those who care about gear, my first own camera was 'empire made' - no idea what model it was, but it was a birthday gift from my parents. I progressed through a Lomo 'Cosmic Symbol' then a Pentax P30, Minolta 7000 and Bronica ETR medium format camera (my pro camera) before taking a break in the late 90s. More recently digital cameras have been obtained and I currently shoot with Nikon and Sony kit.

Before the days of digital I did a lot of printing, and find the ability to work with images on screen wonderfully easy after spending so many hours in the darkroom.
