The last place you would think to look.

So recently we had some bright guests who seemed to be a bit worried about leaving their wallet in the room. All the rooms have safes and they are free and easy enough to use, however this couple apparently didn't trust them and decided to leave their wallet in a safer place, the rubbish bin. However the cleaners had been in and emptied the rubbish, they then came down to reception to complain that they had their wallet taken (I wasn't there to see the look on their faces and deal with them unfortunately) the husband had left the wallet in the bin and it had €500 in it, the wife was apparently furious. Since we didn't want anyone rummaging around in the bins in case something happens, we just said the bin lorries had been already and that it was lost forever. Let that be a lesson to everyone, no leaving valuables in the bin lol. Some people learn common sense the hard way.

Kids snap bracelet is just a measuring tape covered in decorated plastic

My kids wore this one out and I saw it's just an old tape measure

My Pentax Urbex setup

The K1 with the Irix 15mm, the *ist with the Irix 11mm and the MZS with the 31mm, not the lightest but I wasn't in a hurry.

Inside an abandoned power station. K1 with Irix 11 and 15mm

I shot the place with ultrawide lenses to capture the scale of this place, the cooling tower is huge and the turbine buildings were about 20 or 30 storeys tall, if you weren't paying attention and stepped in a hole (there were many) you could fall 5 storeys down. The Irix lenses did a decent job, they are pretty much your only option on Pentax if you want to shoot film too. The Tamron, I mean Pentax 15-30mm isn't fully compatible with any film camera, they are also quite cheap, I got both for around €400 for the 2, a few hundred less than a beaten up 15-30mm. Let me know what you think!

I saw it lads! Twas a beauty!

From up in the mountains in Tarragona in the middle of nowhere, thought it would have been quiet but it was busier than Grafton street. It was worth it anyway

Eclipsi des del Parc Eòlic de Trucafort.

Vam pujar amb temps, pensava que estaria tranquil però hi havia una gentada, va ser espectular, probablement no veurem un altre així per aquesta zona. (En 2027 i 2028 veurem alguna cosa però no així)

The Eclipse as seen from Spain, XH1, 50-230mm.

Some photos of the eclipse this evening, it was awesome, I wasn't fully prepared for it and the photos could have been better but I still got to see it and a cool crescent sunset. Hope you like them!

Fed up of August already.

August is our busiest month and always the most problematic. Today I did a check with a French family, they arrived at like 9am, it was going ok until they had to pay for the reservation, €7,200, I was like they aren't going to easily pay this by card and sure enough, the card had a limit they couldn't easily change. Our policy is that they must pay the entire stay at check in. They paid €3000 and were then like, well we can pay the rest another day. We can't do that. She kicks up a big fuss saying we didn't want to help her, the husband had already offered like 3 times to pay the rest, she was like no we only have one card and she called someone, badmouthing us saying "what do they think? We have 10 cards?" They continue complaining, then she whips out a card and pays the remaining €4200. I was thinking, why the hell didn't she do that in the beginning?

Then 12:00 comes around and she demands to get into the room (you can get into the room at 15h) because the child wasn't feeling well, she then proceeds to raise her voice when we say that people have until noon to check out and the room won't be ready anytime soon. She was swearing and shouting at us. If my boss were in today she would probably have been told to leave, luckily they have a refundable reservation and are free to leave.

We've had plenty of nice French guests but it's a pity that the ones who create a drama over nothing give the others a bad name. I'm waiting for September when we have primarily Irish and British people who don't complain as much.

Edit. Today, they came back and apologised to me for their behaviour yesterday, they were tired and hungry, they said I didn't deserve that attitude but then they were like "but your manager, we don't apologise to her, she's cold and has no empathy". Well better than nothing, I'll just do a reset.

Correfocs. XH1 - 16-55mm

Some photos of the local tradition where people run around the streets with fireworks. Taken with the XH1 and the older 16-55mm f2.8, hope you like them, I tried to capture the spirit and movement of the Correfocs - a fire run.

I can't get this lens combo working. Any reason why it wouldn't work?

So I've tried this lens on other cameras and the camera with other lenses and they work fine, (even with newer lenses) but I can't get this 35mm working on the 9xi and I don't know why, it's pretty much a rebranded Minolta 35mm f1.4, any tips appreciated

New addition to the gang. The Dynax 9xi!

I found a good deal on this 9xi, €30, with the battery grip too (no lens), Their price reflects their popularity and this generation seems to be the black sheep. Anyone else here use one?

Bessa R 12mm viewfinder fell... any cheaper alternatives?

So the viewfinder slipped off and fell on the ground... Whoever designed it thought it would look better without a locking mechanism, anyway does anyone know of any cheap alternatives? There is one on Kamerastore but it's going for like €180, just the viewfinder, which is a bit steep just for a viewfinder. Any help is appreciated, thanks

Alternativa a la Nutella, versió catalana.

Estava comprant en Esclat avui i he trobat això, tinc un cert edat i m'en recordo quan Nutella realment tenia gust de avellanes, ara només te 13% de avellanes + oli de palma, (així que -ella en lloc de Nutella lol, de 'nuts' no n'hi han gaire ara).

Aquesta esta feta aquí (en Tarragona) i te 30% de avellanes i sense oli de palma. Que us sembla? L'heu provat encara?

Hoy hace 82 años que los aliados desembarcaron en la playa Sword en Normandía; no olvidemos los sacrificios que se hicieron para que podamos vivir hoy en paz.

Foto de la casa donde vivia en Normandia hace años, quieria compartirla aqui.
