Pin-hole Cameras and a Red Arrows Flypast, Brome, Suffolk - 8th May 2020

As an ongoing attempt at home schooling, Nosher and the boys do a bit of pinhole photography - a camera with a bit of foil and a tiny pinhole in it where the lens should be. After a few photos, we switch tack and get the macro bellows out, for some insect close-ups. Later, the Red Arrows are on their way from RAF Scampton to Westminster for a VE-Day fly past, the track of which takes them right over the house at about 500 feet. We also do that thing where items - such as small boy hands, feathers and bits of grass - are put over sheets of photo paper and exposed directly to the sun before being developed normally.

Fred on a bench

Fred holds up the detatched statue head

The turbines over the side field

Some sort of blossom

Harry's obscured by a swirl of diffracted light

Harry looks serious with a big stick

The house

The head and legs of a wasp

A wasp is all hairs in the right light

A flower close-up

A purple flower

A close-up of a tiny snail shell whirl

Isobel waits on the side field

Fred pokes the parched earth with a stick

The first five Red Arrows fly over low

The remaining four Hawks fly over

Isobel looks around for more low-flying planes
