Some more J3 bokeh. This lens has a split personality from wide open to any other aperture.

… or raw and jpeg!
The fact number two is Canon vs Nikon is silly really, I mean why debate the runner up position? the winner is Sony...
Go on bite... go on... lets have a laugh...
Yes I suppose sharpness isn't for everyone!
Lol!

One of the cowboy reenactors from this past weekend. Decided to try my hand with the 'dragon effect" during post-processing.

That is harsh bokeh, though I agree with the subsequent comments. Parts of the frame almost look like it was taken as an exposure with a zoom ring rotated while the shutter was open (if I use a little imagination). But then there are those highlights around the car that are kind of nasty and distracting.
I know I'm old, don't need to tell me about it.

I often see butterflies fluttering around my home, but they never seem to sit still. Maybe it's time to look into flowers of some sort so maybe they'll stop so I can take a picture.

In the heat of the day they will not stop for long. First thing in the morning they tend to hang around a little longer.I know I'm old, don't need to tell me about it.

The butterfly shots were from a butterfly farm in Stratford where there was plenty to choose from.
I did buy some lavender to try and attract bees and butterflies earlier this year, but I've managed to kill them already.
I think I'll employ @Ish as my gardener. She knows what she is doing!
Good point about the butterflies, they are much quieter early in the day while they soak up enough warmth to get moving. Of course, what they consider early in the day and what we do may not be quite the same!
Oi, do your own digging! I work in a purely advisory capacity!
Gardening talk:
I grow lots of lavender and they seed all over the place, but my soil is light, full of stones, and you can garden in it a couple of hours after the rain has stopped. These are the sort of conditions they like. They won't last long in heavy clay soil, especially over the winter. If you want to grow them in pots, find a nice pot that's a bit bigger than the one you bought it in, get some gritty soil compost and pot them on into that. Don't forget to keep them watered! Every day in the summer, they're so bushy the rain won't reach the roots when they're in a pot. The problem with lavenders not lasting long is often due to the way they're grown in the nursery. They use a non-soil compost which makes them grow too fast so they're ready for sale earlier but that compost dries out too quickly and is difficult to wet again when it's really dry. The water just runs off the edges. Better to buy one in a small pot if you can. PM me if you like when you want to give them another go.
Did you include it in the exif section of the dialog when exporting the image prior to upload?
So leaving them in the pits I bought them in was my mistake!Good point about the butterflies, they are much quieter early in the day while they soak up enough warmth to get moving. Of course, what they consider early in the day and what we do may not be quite the same!

I meant to repot them but got busy with other things.
Funny I do have a third that came in a small pot that's doing much better.
Regarding watering, up in the Midlands (until the last week or so), nature takes care of that most days!
Thanks for the tips.
