Managed to steal a picture of Mrs AFB whilst she wasn't looking whilst we were out on Saturday.

Listen to the man with experience!
What were you thinking? Putting a photo of your wife on a public forum. I've been beaten for lesser crimes....
" Going the Same Way"
Old and new piers in Golspie.
A true Scottish day; hot, cold, windy, calm, sunny and raining.

It's not just this thread, either, it's like if I see the notification, but don't click on the link right away (for any thread I've commented on), then the notifications stop. You have to read each time, but sometimes I can't at that precise moment, then I am never again reminded to check in!
Anyway, here is today's photo.

Favourite bit of this is the seeming synchronicity of the two people. I realise it is not absolutely identical movement but the feeling is there and that gives the image humour and story.

I love their pub sign and the old painted signs above the door.
Thank you kindly sir, we love him too
Thank you also. Shepherd Neame is a local brewery in Kent, and they own a lot of the pubs around here. All of their swinging signs are painted in this style.
Cheers
Hugh

Or is it Bonio he is after?
Anything remotely edible - as soon as it comes within visual range (about 6" now) he snatches wildly, taking fingers as well if he has to.
His jaws are like Arkwright's Till these days

The honeybees found my lavendar!
For @Apple fanboy when I drove in my driveway yesterday, I saw a butterfly flitting around this plant, but by the time I got back outside with my camera, it was gone. But I immediately thought of your challenge!

Yeah you will have to explain that one to me... I have no idea what you are talking about....
Yeah right. Tell me the one about how you used to save your computer files to a cassette, and load 'film' (whatever that is) into a camera again!Yeah you will have to explain that one to me... I have no idea what you are talking about....

Lest we remind you of some of the corkers you have posted of your good lady? In hospital if I remember rightly!
Another with the Zhongyi 50mm f/0.95 @ f/0.95. I'm not sure what it's T score is, though exposure seems to change in the expected direction from f/1.4 to f/0.95. Not sure if it's a full stop though (have to do some experimenting). The DOF is quite shallow @ f/0.95, especially for subjects approaching the near focus limit. Took this of the kiddo watching Peppa Pig on his iPad (and yes, we limit screen time to a couple times a week, so don't fret ).
The sharpness of the lens goes up pretty dramatically by f/1.4, but I've mostly been shooting it wide open because--f/0.95! I have other f/1.4 lenses so thus far have been exploring it wide open (because that's kind of the point of the lens) It's a little soft/hazy wide open, but acceptable for how I plan to use it wide open. f/1.4 is very comparable to what I get with my other fast 50s.
Manual focus isn't bad on the Sony with its EVF. Can't imagine shooting a Noctilux with a Leica though--that would be very hit-or-miss.
Sorry to include all this technical stuff and not just present the image. Thought people might be interested though since this is such an unusual lens.

Noctilux on a leica for me is WAY more miss than hits.... i mean I might get more keepers focussing with my eyes shut!Another with the Zhongyi 50mm f/0.95 @ f/0.95.

Learning how to focus correctly with extension tubes and 50F18.
Tried this @ f5.0, ISO 800
