Yet again very little time to do anything else but take Liam to his guitar lesson. By the time his lesson starts it is already dark, so photographic opportunities are becoming increasingly rare, particularly for someone like me, who hates using flash and who feels too self-conscious to set up a tripod. I much prefer long exposures to flash photography, but without a tripod, things are difficult. Not impossible though, and I often manage to find a workaround. So, 30 minutes spent at the park trying to photograph things by the light of the streetlamp was almost ruined by the fact that I had put the 18-70mm auto lens on, and it's a bugger to set up manually. Nevertheless, I persevered with it and managed to get a few reasonable shots using the ground, a wall and a street cabinet as my tripod. Liam handed me a note when I picked him up. It was from his guitar tutor, letting us know that she is putting her prices up by almost 15% in a couple of weeks. That is some hike.

Last year I was going underground, but I didn't hear any brass bands playing
