Thanks --- I find the antics of squirrels so fascinating
I love the 24mm focal length, so you will have fun with that lens.
I love squirels. We used to have them frolicking around our garden all the time but u think someone must have either shot or poisoned them because they all disappeared one year and we haven't seen them since
I used to live watching them bury nuts in the garden from the squirrel feeder I put up.Oops I meant 28mm not 24mm.

We used to have Squirrels, but our neighbour cut down their trees so they don't come anymore. Whenever I see one in the wild, they are too fast and too far away for my current glass.

Supper cute. Great shot.
Thanks Parkin Pig and AFB.
I've been out chasing Snowy Owls without success but...trying again this weekend.-------------
This is from a trip to a butterfly conservatory last weekend. I thought it was a good experience to push myself to do something different.
Didn't take me long to realize they're alive, they have wings, they're colourful, they're moving...hmmmmm.
At least it was warm and dry inside.
Thanks Parkin Pig and AFB.

Looks like they are having a stand off! Nice. I live near a butterfly centre (Stratford upon Avon) so I might head down there this weekend.

Sorry to hear about the Squirrels. Hopefully, they will reappear as suddenly as they disappeared.
Thanks, Apple Fanboy!

I'm sure there is a footbridge in London connecting two buildings that this is a direct ripoff of. It's a footbridge at a new railway station for the Adelaide Show-grounds, South Australia. It's supposed to be lit up externally, but they aren't switching it on permanently just yet... The workmanship on this site is quite woeful to be polite. The architects must be having major dummy spits about things not lining up and looking as they were designed!
A picture from inside this thing tomorrow as an example.

EDIT:
Found the original bridge this is pretty well a ripoff of. Connecting the Royal Ballet School to the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden.

Karen deserves a ton of credit John. I can't imagine how difficult this would be. I cook every meal on solid ground and they don't look half as tasty.

Yeah, I enjoy cooking, but I could never do what she does if I had a full kitchen to work with. It baffles me how she does it.
Thanks Doylem. Like anything, you have to just decide to do it, or it'll never get done. That said, I have a friend that tells me every time I talk to him that I need to get into stock photography, I just haven't looked into it yet...

Where's the white gloves and masks like the sigma factory?
I'm not sure the use of old tobacco tins is strictly how they do it either.

That right there is how a man works on a camera lens! With an air line and a dremel in a man cave surrounded by motorbikes.

It was an Industar 69 28mm pancake lens and He was putting some new shocks and a freer flowing exhaust on it....no wait....I'm thinking of something else.
One of these:
With my Vivitar 28mm 2.8 for size comparison.
It's basically an old 60's/70's Russian lens designed for a half frame camera that I wanted to try out on my XE1 as a walk around street photography lens. It needed adjusting as it wouldn't infinity focus so I got my precision engineer friend to dremel a lip off of the inside of the lens casing, which meant the lens itself would screw down a couple of mm further. It worked a treat and was enough to achieve infinity focus. Didn't get a chance to try it out in daylight as I had to get home but here's a quick shot I just took with it for the purposes of this thread.
I don't think it's a particularly good lens to be honest but it'll be fun to play with.

He's giving his 600mm 2.8 prime a polish with wet & dry paper.
lol, you overshot by 572mm. better luck net time
that's one cool mod, exhausts and all!
