Last on the Card – December 2025

Unfortunately, I’ve missed a couple of these due to external life issues. Now we’re back to something close to normality it’s time to join in with Brian’s Last on the Card challenge 😎

Working in date order, on the Moto g50 I have a footie-related shot taken on the 27th December…

…’How is that footie related?’ Brian’s thinking 😅 This is a shot of the display on the back of my Fujifilm X-H2s showing a photo I took at West Hampstead on the way home from our Christmas away game at St Albans. I took the shot to send as a WhatsApp message to our Kitman with the caption ‘The only photo worth publishing from today…’ It had been an awful match and many of the fans were pretty unhappy with the performance. I’m not going to be publishing those photos, not that I took many anyway – it was that bad a game…

On a happier note – Monday the 29th was an enjoyable afternoon / evening out. Those who read my posts have already seen this shot from the Fuji X-H2s but a close comparison would reveal a little bit of post shot processing to straighten and lighten the shadows on the published version…

That’s all for this post. Let’s see what 2026 brings 😎👍

That is one of my favourite last photos Martin. OK just because it’s a train 😁
Thanks for joining in 😀

I am glad to hear that at least some of your “external life issues” have resolved and allowed you to get back to your pleasurable outings. I enjoy all of your train photos, Martin, as you frame them so nicely, and they are generally more colorful than what I see in local freight trains. I think they’re quite majestic, actually. I hope 2026 is a more gentle than 2025. 😉

  Thanks Debra 😎👍 The trains are generally an easy target with the locations often providing natural framing 😅 I wish you a great 2026 and hope that your troubles will weigh less heavily 🙏

It doesn’t get any better than that for a last photo. Sorry about the game (I know how that feels).

  Hi Dan – Thanks 😎👍 As for the footie – I’m in the fortunate position that I’m a volunteer so if I decide not to publish there’s no real comeback. Today’s match is off due to a frozen pitch so hopefully the players will have the benefit of more training time before they play again next Saturday. With luck they’ll rediscover their mojo 🤞
