This is the Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal. It serves and a cinema, theatre, cafe, restaurant and pub amongst other things. This is also the main venue for the Kendal Mountain Festival. I received my new Tamron 24-70mm lens today so thought I'd take it for a little test. The auto focus struggled in the dark I have to say with many of the images I took out of focus, but that was me being lazy and not properly checking as much as anything, especially as I was shooting at f / 2.8 for the images that were messed up. I've been manual focusing for the past week with the Samyang 14mm.

Carnforth Station is famous for the movie Brief Encounter. I used to play here as a child when the sation was very run down, it has all been renovated and has a very good visitor centre and refreshment room. It's actually worth a visit!
Due to unforseen circumstances I didn't manage to get out with the camera today, although I did manage a 5 mile run in the dark off road with a head torch and a lot of mud which was exhilerating! So here is one of the moon setting between the pillars of the North Pier in Blackpool. I'm not being as strict with this project365, where I am able to publish one new image a day and not nessessarily have taken it today...

I went for a play out in the rain this evening to see what I could see. This old gutter runs down the side of an old chapel near where I live. It would have been nice not to have the cars around, but it turned out ok. I like the stars off the street light.
