Heck I'm not even allowed to take pictures of my wife.I'm glad it's not just me that gets torn a new one for posting unflattering pictures of the better half online
If your not shot for just pointing the camera towards them, count yourself lucky.
deceptively cute for someone who could rip my face off ...
If you post pictures of your wife online, it's bound to come back to bite you.
Its the wagging finger I fear more than the biting

All good now.
Took this Tuesday night when I managed to grab a rare hour to do some photography.

An hour well spent. Nice colours and comp.
My wife is generally good if I can justify what I shoot artistically. In this case, I think it's an interesting use of an 18mm lens.
My biggest quibble trying to use this focal length is that Leica ultra wides for the M mount have such a long near-focus range of around 2.3 feet (0.7 meters). Ultra wides scream to be in-your-face and 2.3 feet isn't as close as I would like. Stopped down, the near focus point is a bit closer, but still not as close as I would like artistically.
For this shot I set the focus as close as it would go on the lens and then moved the camera to find a compromise between composition (getting as close as I could to her head) and focus.
Going back to your point, she woke up from the shutter noise and was annoyed that I was taking a pic of her. I told her it was a pic of the cat (which it kind of was...)
This little fellow has been in my yard over the last few days. It was relatively dark at the time, and he/she was about 20-30 feet away, so i dug out my Canon 40D, efs-55-250 lens and external flash. as the camera wasn't able to focus on anything, and i had a hard time manual focusing, i was happy i got at least one reasonable shot.

That's when being able to swop over to the electronic shutter comes in handy
I call this one: 'Self portrait w/ Dog'. Well actually I don't, because I'm not a wanker. But hey, that's what it is.

Yeah you have a lot to answer for though... some of the examples you have posted... gas masks, hospital beds... you are on a shaky peg my friend!

I know I've posted more than a few pictures from that part of the world (and I may have a couple of more to post) but it was such an experience traveling there. You are right, it is definitely a unique place. I just hope to get to as many other unique places in this world as I can over the years.

This is four portrait images stitched together in LR from my D750.
Of course I could have just taken my 14-24mm with me, but the lens flare on that tends to be a bit more extreme.
Comments always welcome.

300 mm at 1/64th of a second? Thats reasonably sharp. Generally it would be wiser to shoot with a shutter speed of at least 300 on a telephoto of that size. Try shooting in Shutter priority if you're not comfortable in manual.Fox puppy I found when I took an early morning walk with my Wire Foxterrier(!)

Nice job though.
