Found this little fella in the garden the other day. A shieldbug.
He was kind enough to wait whilst I went and got my camera.

Like you I'm a man of leisure for the rest of the week

I took a similar image yesterday on my lunchtime walk at work. But only had my iPhone so didn't look that nice!

Best way to overcome frustration is grab your camera and head out somewhere, anywhere.
Off to the NEC shortly. Taking 105mm macro for plants, but if I'm feeling brace maybe I'll shoot some people!
Havent posted an NYC shot in a while. Makes me sad that I have lost my anchor there now, now that my brother in law has moved to the Hollywood Hills

I think you can guess the rest.
Away this weekend with my wife to the Borders for my puppy to show at a Championship Show.
No lens yet for any 'In the ring shots' but the odd portrait may occur - with luck.
A long journey for our 'Nemo' but we do have couple of nights booked for B&B; with luck a good nights sleep for all.
Couple of primes on my list 50mm f2 & 90mm f2.8..
That will be my lot as even they are going to break the bank if I am not careful. Maybe secondhand will get the cost down. Whether or not I should have gone with the 18-135 mm instead of two primes and a WA zoom is of course now mute. Oh well; too late. I am sure the 27 mm will be a joy on the T2 without the vertical grip as a street/show camera - we will see.

The best thing about digital photography is that there is no risk. Just shoot! Once you have your gear and software (which you presumably already have), the only extra cost is your time, and as a hobby, who cares how much time you "lose/waste/devote/etc." Just go shoot.
I always think that the ornamental grasses are a late summer thing, but here mine are, already blooming (if that's the right word). Those little spikey things stick all over me when I go out to weed! But awfully pretty as a closeup.
The stick to me as well but I've probably got hairier legs!

Enjoy the show. I'll imagine there is plenty to shoot outside the ring.

Appreciate the sentiment.
Will not go into my point of view further.
I have all the time I could imagine having.
The only limitation, as you point out is my attitude.
Ahh well; it is good to see you all out and about. You never know I may just take the odd picky before popping off.
Sorry; inappropriate.
I'll post a pic. or two next week. Maybe.

ps: thank you Mollyc for the kind comment.
Morning, DadThis one should be titled "Pool Bar"...

Going through some older stuff......
I really, really like this image but can't help but think it needs the verticals straightened. Maybe it's just me.
