Shotless

My Yashica Electro 35 GSN is waiting for patiently for me on a table by the door. I should have taken it out to shoot of a roll of film to test it. I know the camera works as I have already shot a film with it, but the light seals had deteriorated and were all gunky. I got the camera from eBay in mint condition (apart from the organic decay of the light seals) and I also ordered a light seal kit of materials from eBay.

It wasn't a huge job to clean and fix them up but it was a bit finicky. I brought the camera to Edinburgh with me this week thinking I'd snap some shots on the way to work to test the light seals but I've been too busy. Evenings have been a write off too as I've got in too late. So I'll just have to take it back with me to Glenlyon and try and shoot the roll of film on the weekend.

I'm also looking our for the rest of the summer visitors to our garden. I am waiting to see when our Spotted Flycatchers will arrive. They usually nest around the house or garden somewhere. They are a delight to watch as they perch and flitter and perch, catching insects on the wing. I like to watch them while I sit outside on the bench with a cup of tea.
