Thank you. It was in fact excruciatingly cold
. Not as cold as it was here last week but… Early morning blue light too. Helps with that cold look.
Got a tip for us?

Many decades ago I was a trumpet player in the FSU Marching Chiefs. Great seeing them march by in the parade before yesterday's Bowl game.
That's on Park Ave in Winter Park. Been there many times. Barnie's up on the corner has some good coffee.
Ok last shot of the Emigrant Pass California Trilobite collecting area with me and friends (I am in orange shirt) the dark rocks just above our heads in background are Lower Cambrian rocks full of interesting trilobites and other fossils.
All that talk of hummingbirds had me dig into the archive, so this goes back to 2021 (this past season was so terribly dry that gardens really struggled). One thing I forgot to mention with bursts--usually most modern cameras have 2 max burst rates, a slower rate with mechanical shutter, and a higher burst rate that is e-shutter. The challenge with older e-shutter is that you can get the "rolling shutter" look, where fast moving bits will look warped or out of place, but you get quite different results depending on the shutter speed. At 1/1200s, this hummingbird's wings would have looked really weird, but 1/2000 with e-shutter looks acceptable. You can see that even at 1/2000s, the wings aren't quite frozen yet. Speedy little buggers! I believe the global shutter is supposed to solve that look, but I haven't looked into it much.
If memory serves, this was from Matthias Church in Budapest, 2002.
Update: This was from St. Vitas Cathedral, Prague, 2002.

As much as I love Indian Paintbrush those flowers have always proven rather difficult for me to photograph.
This is my only attempt using the 4x5. At today's prices it would work out to about $15 every time I pressed the shutter so you can see why.
BTW I have no idea if these lovely flowers have been forced to change their names by the woke crowd, nor do I care. To me they will always be Indian Paintbrush.
Guessing this was the Schneider Xenar lens and going by the ƒ-16 @1/8sec exposure, the bellows must have been extended to at least double that lenses nominal 127mm focal length.

How long have you had the 9mm? Looks like a pretty good deal for a Pana-Leica, and finally a non-fisheye UWA fast prime on M43 with AF!

Hummingbird are not good at taking photos: too shaky!🙃
I hope the other one is fast...
there were 2 egrets and they flew away while the phone was shooting.
all is safe!

Nice picture...you "went for broke" on the bokeh. 😃
On our pier, the posts are all capped with white rubbery/plastic protectors, most of which have held up pretty well through the years and various weather conditions. One was damaged a month or so ago and hasn't yet been replaced. All the other post caps are fine.....so of course, which one does Alfred choose to stand on? LOL! (Probably gave him better, more secure footing.)

Saw it as a decorative piece in a store. Would have loved to buy it. But alas! It was not for sale.
