Update 18 August

Photography in general, and OCA in particular, has taken very much a back seat in last few weeks for several reasons:

1) Have been on holiday in Scotland although this did provide the subject for the exercise in that we attended a Highland Games meeting while away, and also provided two competition entries below for an Historic Scotland photography competition.

2) Am training for New York Marathon. For next 10 weeks this takes priority; do not expect to get a great deal of OCA work done until mid November. This course is very likely to take over a year;

3) Busy at work. Now doing four days per week and had an intensive week long course to attend;

4) Olympics fever - glued to TV for tow weeks and went to the Olympics on one day;

5) Camera in for repair to main lens and for sensor clean.

Back on case to a degree now, but progress will be slower than hitherto.
