    Fantastic image, barondla! Looks like you're gonna need a lock for your gargabe can.

    Some days, I just don't have the energy to move. Usually on those days, I power through it and go out anyway, often thankful I did. Today was not one of those days. So today you get a couple of safety portraits of my boy.

    Thanks @JCDoss. Kawai looks like a great friend. You did an excellent job capturing his personality.

    I don't always have the time, due to work, or energy to photograph. No big deal, this is supposed to be fun. I used to always go places to take photos. Now, I'm finding good pictures can be captured anywhere, even at home. I still like to go places :)

    I got behind on my post-processing and posting, but not on my shooting. I'll hopefully get caught up today. For now, here's a couple from June 2.

    Today was another three lens day. The Ingelheimer half-marathon ran out front of my house, so I decked out the cameras with a pair of telephoto lenses and went out front to photograph the action. I don't own an autofocus lens because I'm addicted to manual focus, but today I really came to appreciate the skill the sports photographers of the 1980s had to manually focus those huge super telephotos on the sidelines. I ended up taking over a hundred shots of the marathon, which is over 90 more than I take in an average day. In my own defense, I'd have stopped shooting if they had stopped running past my house. After the marathon, I swapped out the lens on one camera and went to the coffee shop.

    Here's today's catch.

    Two images taken wide open on a pair of fairly fast lenses. I've discovered that the dehaze tool in Lightroom can help mitigate the dreaminess that some lenses show when wide open. Anyway, here's today's catch.

    I ran into a new problem with my fisheye lens today. I had a hard time keeping my fingers out of the image! Both of the images I posted at Flickr today had to be cropped a little because of this. :D

    Excellent images. With a fisheye unwanted digits are always a possibility :).

    I've had to reshoot because of feet in the frame before, but never fingers until yesterday, and it happened in almost all of my shots! Oh well, they cropped OK. Thanks for your comments!

    Nicely done. And no fingers! 😂

    Only one camera went out with me today, armed with the A50f2.8 Macro and the 1.4x-S converter which was sometimes on the camera, sometimes off. I came away with a few shots I think are decent.
    Here's the best of the bunch.
