Coming Soon: The Space Pilot Book of the Month Club

-
I spend my working day illustrating short stories, poetry and drawing comics. I do this because I love telling stories.

The main reason for running this web site is to share that love of stories with others and try to attract readers to the kind of fiction that I particularly enjoy. There's no prize for guessing that the mega-genre science fiction figures large in that.

So, starting in April, I'm launching the Book of the Month here on the Space Pilot website. I'm going to give away a free eBook on the first Monday of the month that you can download, read, share with your friends, anything you like.

All I ask in return is that you come back here and post a comment under that eBook post, telling the rest of us what you thought of the book and maybe engaging with the comments and questions posed by your fellow readers.

It's a free book club and you don't even need to give me your personal data to join it. So it's really free.

As this summer sees the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, I'll feature a number of classic lunar tales, some you'll be familiar with and one, in particular that might surprise you. There will be other firsts and landmark ideas in the mix too. Who wrote the first robot story? Well, you'll get a chance to read that very story, here in the Space Pilot book club.

The success of this project very much depends on all of the visitors here who read the stories taking part and leaving their comments. So help me out and I'll keep it running indefinitely. Let's see if we can create a wee community of science fiction history pundits here at www.spacepilot.scot.

Dungeons and Dragons

 I recently restarted a long-running Dungeons and Dragons game that I started as Dungeon Master back in the days of lockdown during the Covid-19 crisis. We started it on Zoom and I've kept it that way as it allows the far flung family and some pals to join in. It's a great way to spend an evening every month catching up and creating a story together. Being online, I've come up with a few ways to try and compensate for the lack of the full tabletop experience. One of the tricks is to create token graphics for the characters and place them on a map in a graphics program. You need a lightweight but capable program to run alongside Zoom while you share your screen and I've found that Affinity Designer works pretty well. However the upgrade deal to the new version is not very good. So I might try something opensource instead. A vector program works well because you can mask out parts of the map that have not yet been visited and then reveal them as you go. You need the layer

Sunny 16 Rule for Celtic Lands

 I've been away trying out exotic film stocks for a while and I decided it was time to post something photographic. One of the things I have been thinking a lot about is taking film shots with old cameras that lack built in light meters. These cameras were designed to be used without such a thing and, if you get hold of a Kodak camera manual from the 50s or 60s you'll see how folk took good pictures with them. The basic Sunny 16 rule that was used to judge exposures, worked pretty well for most situations that relied on natural light. If you found yourself indoors or taking pictures at night, the recommendation was to use a flash. So the Sunny 16 rule as set by Kodak, based in Rochester, NY, at latitude 43°N, goes like this. Set the shutter speed of the camera to match the ISO rating of the film. For example, if you are using Fomapan's 200 ISO Creative film, set the shutter to 1/200s.  Look at the sky. If the sun is shining brightly in a clear blue sky, set the lens apertur

 I thought I'd better post these photos from January before February is out. As usual there are more on my lomography site. This last one features a story on a mug from Shoreline of Infinity .
