some great images, esp. the 2nd one of the wool carder on lavender and the hummingbird photos.
On Tuesday we visited the village of Lacock, which is around 45 minutes from our house. Some may recognise the name, as the former abbey at Lacock was the home of William Henery Fox Talbot, who in 1835 invented the photographic negative and the process for creating them, giving birth to what would become the film negative. we visited the museum, abbey and village.
Here are a few photos from each, to view them all take a look here (click on the word here, not this one, the last one).

Your images proof that you were in Midsomer County, hopefully far enough from Badgers Drift. 😉
Recently I could purchase a Pentax KP for a price in the grey zone between bargain and fair. It's very, very close to the hypothetical Eckycam. The 4/16-45 matches the camera very, very well.

Had a gig that I shot last night, here are a few from it.
Shot with my Lumix GX-7 and Olympus E-M1 Mk II, lenses were the Lumix 20mm f1.7 and Olympus 45mm f1.8.
Quote from denniscrommett on August 18, 2023, 2:02 am@grover, those photos are great and I too love that 20mm Panasonic lens. It's just really special. On a similar note, @enfant-soleil, lovely photos, and I think you've got all you need with the X-T10 and that great TTArtisan 27mm! Both lenses that you've done videos on of course @james-warner-b.
It kinda makes me wonder, what other lenses exist that are autofocus, under $200, and have the magic that those two do? I definitely love the Fujifilm XC 35mm f2, which barely counts at $199 new but is so great; sharp, and weirdly I think a little more contrasty than the other 35s? Could be my imagination.
Anyway, here are a couple animals. My cat, and a dog in a car, Fuji X-T1 and TTArtisan 27mm f2.8.
Does anyone else like to try to take photos out of their car windows at red lights? Could be a fun challenge thing we could start here.
cool cat

a lighthouse from a boat tour last night.
fuji 50r & 45-100mm.
To do something for my fitness and literally to broaden my perspective I started to go on bicycle rides during the lunch break.
The surprise of the day is the kit lens (DA L 3.5-5.6/18-55): CA is fairly good controlled and it is rather sharp.
