Share your December Photos (2023)
Let me kick December off, with a handful from a gig I shot on the 1st.
Bought a new to me Lumix G9 from Map Camera Japan. Pretty new too seeing it only had jut under 100 shutter count on arrival. Took it for a small photowalk

Welcome to the club. After nearly a decade of service for me, my og 12-35mm died earlier this year. I can not recommend that lens, any version, highly enough. It practically lived on my lumix cameras (G7/G9) for over 10 years and there's been less than a dozen times where it didn't do the job. If budget is an issue, there are a few cheaper options that do a fairly similar job. Just get the ones with IS. I know the alternatives can be sharper, but if you do any video work, that IS matters and matters more than sharpness.
Now that my 35mm prime and macro has arrived, I gotta figure out how to clean this E300 sensor.

That grain in shot numero 4, so contrasty and film like!

Does it require a deeper clean? I had a Nikon Z50, somehow get a water stain on it and no matter how many swaps and cleaner I used, I had no luck. I tried and tried and ended just paying the local camera shop about $50 to clean it. Came out like brand new.
I wonder if it's under the IR filter?

No idea. I think it's just normal sensor dust from sitting somewhere for 10+ years. I've got the specialty swabs for it, I just need to read the manual and give a crap to do it. After taking a look inside once, I'm thinking there's something unique about this camera's shutter, but I haven't looked into it deeply. I just saw that the inside looked unusual. Like there were multiple mirrors and they're on the side or something.
I wish I had access to a camera shop. My wife doesn't wish this, but I do, lol.

Many thanks, zero added grain either, the noise on the Olympus E-M1 Mk2 just has a great look to it.
Few more from the weekend, had three friends playing DJ sets at two different pubs (think more soul and chilled ambient than 'bangin' techno), luckly they are over the road from each other, and one closes later, so we managed to get both in.
From an impromptu hike Sunday. With the K3iii and 100mm macro, except the last two which are 21mm ltd. It was mostly grey and dreary but the rain put a nice sheen on everything, and the sun did come out briefly. 🙂
Sycamore ball. Looks like a parachute stuck in a tree.

The light on the water from the sunset was beautiful, but for some reason it just looks better in B&W. One of those where I felt the image didn't capture the colors adequately anyway, but the shapes and shadows are nice.

Many thanks, Grant's a good friend as well, so it's always a bonus when shots of him come out well.Â
