Learning curve ...flat ...HELP!

Is it only camera shake? Or the ancient optics?

There is sat, on one of the islands at Westmorland North Services.

There's a particular bacon She can't find nearer than that, I think we'd better check out Rheged (Same outfit).

Main reason for the run out was, in fact to boost the FLAT battery on the wagon, with bacon as a side issue.
Of course we can't have a step over the threshold without a brew. This critter obligingly sat just the right distance away with the duck things too close. In the view finder it was pin-sharp, but it could well have looked a wee bit ostentatious erecting a tripod there, so I tried a hand-held shot.

Could that have been my undoing?
