Yes. More specifically, and as MacRy already guessed, its the top of an air conditioning unit (the fan cover).

[doublepost=1520730000][/doublepost]From time to time I get to play with one of the cameras at my Mindful Photography groups, if someone doesn't turn up for the session. I have grown to develop a soft spot for the little M43 cameras!
Panasonic-Lumix G1, Lumix G Vario 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6, Multi-segment Metering, Aperture Priority,
ISO 100, 28mm, f/4.8, 1/1000
I'm interested in hearing more about what you have grown to like/appreciate in the M43 cameras @Alexander.Of.Oz . When I decided to move on from a P&S I ended up getting the Panasonic G3 for the size primarily. It has not disappointed me and I really do like the size of it but now that it has been six years (wow, time flies) I'm toying with the idea of getting another camera. Probably another M43 (a G9 perhaps) or maybe I go to a 35mm camera?
Truth be told I'm quite sure I'm falling into the 'I would take better pictures if I had better gear' trap. It doesn't help that I have to look at the fantastic images you all regularly post in this forum.
Definitely brings a smile to my face.
For me it's the compact and light nature of them, in combination with their nice image quality and fast accurate focusing. Plus how simple they are for the participants to get to grips with. I have two G1's and two GF3's, for those that find using a DSLR intimidating/awkward/a struggle (weight) or have eyesight issues and want to work from the rear screens, which last for hours and hours in liveview!I'm interested in hearing more about what you have grown to like/appreciate in the M43 cameras @Alexander.Of.Oz .

If you've got a good collection of quality glass, stick with the M43's. I've only got kit glass for the participants to use, but I'm more than impressed with the IQ of the Panasonics (M43), Pentaxes and Sony (DSLR's) just with their kit glass. The Canon 550D is okay, but I do notice there are less adjustments needed to be made, when I use and apply the ColorChecker card on the others as compared to the Canon!

Thank you very much.
The dogs move pretty fast on short races like this one, somewhere around 10 MPH (16.09 kph).
I thought Ken was after the misty look, which is why I said ocean/sea.
I was. I was trying to avoid the sun flares. For flaring I seem to be able to just take my lens cap off

This picture sums up how I feel right now.
That's a big downfall to most ultra-wide angle lenses and is certainly a limiting factor in how and when I can capture my ideas.
Are you using the Photographers Ephemeris Ken? That can assist you to choose ahead of time what angles you can capture and when, so as to avoid the dreaded flares.
Goofing around with my new Nikon 1 J5, FT-1 Adapter and 300mm lens in the living room looking through a bay window.

This was taken from across the street and there was post processing of the picture done in Photoshop. Not bad for just fooling around on a lazy Sunday morning.

From the Eastern Sieeras this past autumn. Playing around with some new B&W software.
I do generally but this one was the taken during a quick dodge out at lunchtime for some air
I was hung over. I dont drink but my wife dispatched me to keep her brother company last night... I had a beer or five... And this morning I was feeling like a grumpy gorilla....
obviously I couldnt finish comments on here so people could understand my wittering either... Lol...
Oh deer. That will be me next Monday as I'm out with my colleagues at TPS. They drink every night. I drink about 4 times a year.I was hung over.

Drink plenty of water. That's the key.

Wow man! I have compassion for you. Been there and done that many times in the past. So glad you're feeling better. I don't drink anymore and haven't for many, many years. Wouldn't go back to it for anything, and by the grace of God I won't.
The gorilla shot was taken at a zoo. Not sure if he was having a pensive moment or what, but at the time he just seemed to be chillin'.
A nice day at Turnberry today. Food was rubbish but the weather was nice and it was lovely to walk out to the lighthouse which is further away than it looks!

Another owl from the streets of Auckland. This one has a nice camera.
There are 47 of these dotted around Auckland, so I have may more to find and photograph. They are to be auctioned off to raise funds for the Child Cancer Foundation, so all for a good cause. https://www.thebighoot.co.nz/

Also it is the half way point round the golf courses so there is a little cafe/restaurant inside there where you can get a coffee and a sandwich.

Really nice shot. Yeah feeling better will try not to bow to prwpress next time. Just not worth it

Dont do it. No matter how good an idea it seems at the time, it isnt the day after. So be strong.
