There are two lighthouses in the old port area in La Rochelle, and when you are travelling into that port area, you need to line them up so that one light is above the other; then you are on the correct channel to come into La Rochelle. The channel is prone to silting up.

I find the ideas that go into this sort of planning/engineering fascinating. I wonder if we would think of these things if we were trying to resolve this problem today.

If you are looking for an interesting documentary channel, and you have a more than passing interesting in aviation, Mentour Pilot is pretty much the best channel you can look at.

But in particular, I found this one fascinating.

I have decided to pick up photography and photography processing again so I’ve bought a new camera. It’s a mirrorless Canon, and I have work to do to get fully au fait with the device. This is the first photograph I took with the new camera, which I replaced almost immediately as it had a small sensor issue from the first photograph.

I used to carry a DSLR every where with me, and because I did a lot of sports photography, my camera bag got very heavy in the end. I was carrying 20kg around. It’s just occurred to me that that extra weight carried around probably explained some of the unexplained weight loss I had around that time. Which is, frighteningly enough, coming up to 20 years ago.

Anyway, I’m not so interested in carrying 20kg around everywhere, especially as I no longer have a car and would have to carry it all around. I’m working with a kit lens for the time being and while I might pick up a slowish 200 or 300mm lens, and maybe a 50mm 1,8 as well. The camera is a Canon R8. It feels right in my hand.
