Boss photos you've taken


I love my Nikon P900 but it's suffered at my hands. Bent where I dropped it and smeared with superglue when I was sticking the tripod attachment in place, after it broke off the casing, and the tube burst. The glue also got into the battery flap and I can't now open it to swap batteries.

However, despite a this it still takes great photos, many of which are taken of foxes on the roof and birds in those highest branches, where sat the goldfinch a couple of weeks ago.

Took the first three photos this afternoon. If you zoom in you'll see a fox lying under the branches.

Not sure if it would "loosen" the glue, but have you tried using small amounts of Isopropyl Alcohol on the battery compartment lid? Or maybe try something similar to the product below.

Becconsall Old Church, 1764​


Becconsall Old Church is a redundant church in the village of Hesketh Bank, Lancashire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building, and is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. Located down the lane to a large boatyard on the River Douglas, it is a lovely red brick building with a stone slate roof, constructed in 1764 to replace an earlier chantry chapel on this site beside the River Douglas. The church is built to a two-bay plan punctuated by a small sanctuary at the east end. There is no tower, just a west bellcote and entry is through a small west porch.

The simply furnished interior would be flooded with light from its large Georgian windows, but it is very plain, with a small west gallery and tiny chancel. There is a vestry and the bellcote, contains a single bell brought back when the church was repaired after coming into the Churches Conservation Trust's care.

A font, intricately if somewhat crudely carved, was also returned having been rescued during the time that the church lay derelict and forlorn. Two pews, the pulpit, lectern, altar and panelling also survive.

A local resident told me that the church only opens it's doors once a year.The first church here was built in the 16th century, but it was later used as the private chapel of the Becconsall family. For those who are familiar with different styles of brick construction, All Saints uses English garden wall bond.
