High above Malham Cove on the way home – definitely ‘God’s own country’!
A beautiful day for the final day of the half-term holiday, with “Arctic” weather threatened for the weekend by forecasters. Where to go? We decided on Malham, about 25 miles from home, with an energetic walk from the village to the cove. The days when I would climb it have long gone. Back in Malham village a sandwich and tea (coffee for Petronela), in the delighful ‘Stream side cafe‘, with an equally delightful young Hungarian receptionist/waitress, went down a treat. Seemed a pity to go directly home so we climbed the long twisting single track road then descended into Settle before turning east to go home.
A lovely day.
As you see, I took a camera but all the pictures other than Petronela’s of me are on the iPad.

Lovely scenery, never got to Malham as I lived in Yorkshire for too short a time, lovely photographs.

I was sorting through my pictures the other day and came across a similar series from the same walk about 5-years ago, a lovely spot. I almost miss Yorkshire when I see the pictures, especially in dry sunny weather 🙂

Hi Eddy. Haven’t seen a post from you for ages, I think since the second series of pictures from the visiting photographers. Too busy? I had intended to drop you a msg to see how things are going but hadn’t got round to it yet. I thought of you when I was writing this post, knowing we were on your stamping ground. The house look really wonderful; that night shot is spectacular. We are similarly pulled in two directions.

Lovely! I think you should start capturing pictures with a camera! I run out of the house with a phone in my pocket and when there is something so beautiful – I wish I had a camera. It’s too heavy, I’m out of breath! And I’m only 34! My mom warned me every time she sees me, that I need to start walking & get fit….

You’re right of course Ilze. It’s just laziness for me; pulling pictures out of ‘Photos’ on the iPad is just so simple compared with having to download from a camera card. In fact I’m thinking of selling the auto focus lenses for the X-Pro1 (I don’t like auto focus anyway, but particularly the ‘fly by wire’ manual focus option as these are, so generally take ‘classic’ manual focus lenses, as I did on Friday) and using the proceeds to buy something which goes in the pocket, like the little Sony.

Google for such thing as FlashAir. It’s a memory card with WiFi. I have one in my DSLR and app installed on phone (you can install it on your iPad). Then when you need pictures – turn on the camera, and connect to it using app on iPad – and you will get your pictures on iPad! This is what I like to use. Maybe you need that!!!??

In fact I have a WiFi card but can’t find it! I think mine is called EyeFi or something but it wasn’t so easy to use. I’ll look up yours, thank you.

It’s TOSHIBA card. You can find app in app store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flashair/id630414772?mt=8

Thank you. I’ve had a look at that and there seem to be very mixed reviews. Maybe you need to be a computer whiz kid like you to make it work reliably. Mind you, some of the problems described in the reviews are the same as I had with the EyeFi card, particularly refusal to connect often. I must find my card and see if I have better luck now. If not I might try the Toshiba (or buy a camera with it built in!)

If camera goes to standby – then there is problem, so I’m pushing buttons on my camera to stay awake 🙂
