That's Okay, Andre. I'm sure many photographers both Pro and Amateur (and in-between) own more than one brand. The person writing this post is no exception. 😁

A few from the past week or so :
The Lapwing chicks continue to thrive
Pheasant chicks hiding in the grass
Curlew on the heather
Brown Hare
I've attempted to photograph the elusive Cuckoo on numerous occasions and finally managed to do so this week
A young Cuckoo being fed by its adoptive parent - a Meadow Pipit
Another shot of the adult male
Can you feel the heat from the setting sun?
Regards,
Joe. -

A few from the past week or so :Great work, Joe. I like the shot of the parasitic teenager :-)

It rained in Salzburg so we sheltered for a while in the Dom. I'm glad we did, the ceilings and inside of the dome were extraordinary. Handheld with the X-H1 and XF16-55mm
I'm wondering if the bronze statue gave someone the idea for the Lord of the Nazgul in Lord of the Rings film.

Sunny day for a walk around the Wolfgangsee.

I really like this one. At f/22 I can't tell if those are dust spots or sun spots. Good work as usual.

The extraordinary pleasures of older churches and cathedrals are its artwork and creativity. I took a few images of the Sistine chapel while sitting on one of the side benches. Reluctant to post them because photography was discouraged. Michelangelo was a talented and patient artist.

Too true.
I was tempted...but didn't. I wish I had!

4 shots from a walk with the 90mm f/2. I tried to make it work as a macro lens with the ants, with so and so results :)

Finally starting to see more birds again in some of the wildlife areas we visit locally. This Egret and Heron, and a few of their friends, were pretty active in our visit to one of my favorite areas for birding. Rather encouraging after the bad luck during a couple of previous visits to this location and another.

Very attractive Heron and a good capture!

Thanks :)
I couldn't help feeling sorry for the Meadow Pipit having to satisfy such an enormous appetite whilst not increasing the Pipit population at all.Regards,
Joe. -
They are indeed sun spots.
Despite dialling in -5ev, f22 and 1/32000 was needed to get the shot.Regards,

Haven't gotten out with the Fuji much in the past week or so. Not much to post - sorry.
That said, the Canadian wildfire smoke moved into eastern Pennsylvania with a vengeance today. I took this pic a few minutes ago - "my" mountain is visible in the background. Everything has a yellow tinge.
We spend each fall hunting the in west and we've been through this in recent years in the west, but I don't ever remember seeing this kind of smoke here. Made me feel like I was out west. This one actually chased us across the prairie with 40 mph winds.
We were camping in this little town (Zortman, MT, Population 48) as the fire came over the mountain
Nancy and I did our daily pre-gym cardio this morning (consists of driving to the bottom of "my" mountain, parking and then walking up to the top and back down - 2 miles). The smoke wasn't as bad as it is now. The local news is telling people to stay inside and our local schools dismissed early. I'm not sure the air inside my house is any better than outside. I'm wondering if this is just more panicky "the sky is falling" media baloney; or if there is a real reason for otherwise healthy (but older) people to stay inside. I don't want to miss our exercise unless there is a real risk.
