Only thing more stupid than fishing is ice fishing!
[doublepost=1516398252][/doublepost]

If I go fishing , maybe I'll catch a fish and get a meal for my efforts . If I don't , it's usually a good day outside in nice summer weather anyway . If I go ice fishing , what do I catch ? Ice??? Got a tray containing nice little cubes of that stuff in my freezer....

Test shot with a new lens--Laowa 12mm f/2.8. I usually use ultra-wides with something prominent in the foreground playing on perspective and not for landscapes. Felt like sharing this pic though.

This has reminded me of the ancient and traditional method employed by the Inuit to catch polar bears.

Apparently they cut a hole in the ice and surround it with frozen peas. When the bears come down to have a pea, they kick them in the ice-hole.

Moving right along......
Ringwood Manor ; a big sprawling place owned by the proprietors of the area iron mines . Built in the early 1800's . Taken with a 10-18 at 10mm from a vantage point far too close . Had to do big time corrections to get the columns vertical owing to lens distortions . If I had a tilt/shift and a vantage point maybe 20-30 feet further out it would have been nice , but you gotta work with what you have .

Pretty sure he didn't pay full price for it! But yes it would make some locational shooting a bit easier!

Yes. Poor children. "Dad, can you put on my shoes?" "I'll try, but they probably won't fit."
Although I think the mothers suffer more.
Your band!
