Fujifilm X20: ISO 800, f 2.2 @ 4 seconds....

Pushing the limits of the X20, unfortunately without a tripod, so had to improvise. Doing a Dark Sky tour to Mt John observatory this evening, so will see what I can come up with after that......

When I get employed as a teacher again, this time in my home country for better pay than I got the past 16 years in Thailand, as sooner or later I must, after Covid-19 has run its course, I reckon I'll celebrate by purchasing an XPro 3 with a 50 - 140 lens, and see what I can do with it.

You might have noticed that I haven't taken a half decent photo for ages; in fact I haven't been out properly with a camera for a couple of years probably.
My wife has been having problems with her memory, eyesight, understanding and doing things for the last couple of years, (I know what it's called - I just don't like the name they give it), hence if I do get out it's always a hurried affair.
I'm not in any way looking for sympathy but I just want to say that this forum is a life saver and an inspiration for me; I love to see what the rest of you have been up to with your cameras, and once this virus thing is out of the way I hope to find a way whereby my wife can come out on photo shoots with me and still be safe.

Anyway, here's one I took earlier out in the garden; some primulas waiting to be planted out...



By the way, I considered selling the new Z 50 and brand new Tamron 16-300mm, but it was a once in a lifetime purchase and will always be waiting until I can pick it up again more seriously.

Cheers :)
