Dripping

Thursday 25th July 2019

The Church of England tweeted the other day with #coolchurches that our churches are a good cool place to be. That wasn't the case here today, although slightly cooler than outside. The church was packed for a service and the vicar certainly wasn't cool. With an outside temperature of around 30 degrees it was not the day to be wearing a thick cassock! I felt quite sick with the heat and my body was certainly over heating. I was dripping! 

I had to peel my cassock off. It's the first time I've had to go home for a shower and complete change of clothes between a service and the wake! 

After an evening meeting I still had a bit of energy so took advantage of my newly tidied photo studio and decided to experiment with the flash and water drops. Haven't tried this for a few years. I nearly gave up trying to get everything sorted as I was getting very hot again. But with a bit of perseverance I came away with quite a few good shots, better than I expected. I learnt a few things. I need a different container and it needs to be further from the background to avoid the splash marks. Room for improvement but still pleased.  

I've backblipped yesterday.
