Have only been shooting kiddo pics recently. Took this cat pic today between taking pics of the kiddo. Won't share the kiddo pics, but will share the cat pic. Haven't been inspired for any landscape, street, architecture, or macro pics. Bleh.
Great shot, I guess the waiting is part of the thrill for you! I couldn't do it
I'm surprised you got a frame this wide with a 90mm lens?
The waiting can be frustrating as well!
The lens is a true 90mm but it all depends on what it’s image circle is being projected onto. In this case it’s a 6x17cm area. The angle of view is what gives the “wide” look as it’s roughly equivalent to the angle of view that a 20mm lens gives on 35mm full frame, but is still a 90mm. The camera also has 105mm, 180mm and 300mm lenses. I only have the 90mm and 180mm. The 105 is too close to the 90 and the 300 is too long, too slow (f8 max) and is too easily affected by camera shake/winds.
Just inflating the balloons for the evening 'glow' event. Comments always appreciated.

Although different from yesterday's eyes, this chameleon's eyes were also impressive. They move completely independent of each other. Weird.

Beautiful. Well worth the effort that went into it.

Not your iPhone I’m guessing?
Nope, not my iPhone! The Sony RX10 M4 went out on a walk with me this afternoon.....
When I bought the RX10 M4 last July I was thinking more in terms of how useful it would be for shooting subjects at a distance, which of course it is.... About three or four days after I'd bought it I was on a trip and during some down time at the hotel started wandering around the hotel's lovely grounds, and quite by accident realized the possibilities of using this thing to shoot near-macro and also have really nice bokeh. My technique is simple: I use Aperture priority and spot metering, and then depending upon the subject and whether or not I can comfortably position myself and the camera far enough back to accommodate the lens' minimum focusing distance, I zoom all the way to the 600mm (equivalent) and start shooting..... I pay particular attention to the background, of course, and to how far from the background the subject is, as that makes a difference with the bokeh, and I twiddle with the aperture setting to see which will give me the kind of effect I want (an advantage of using a mirrorless camera, in the EVF I can see the differences the aperture makes immediately, before pressing the shutter button). I love it when I have a background which has several colors in it that then all softly, gently blend into one another to cooperate with the camera in creating a creamy, interesting bokeh. Sometimes, I have to admit, for me the primary interest and pleasure when viewing the results turns out to be more about the bokeh and the background in an image than it is whatever the actual purported subject is!

Bottle cap that got left outside. It rained and the cap got filled with water, rising up a little over the edges like a cup cake. The water magnified and distorted the interior of the cap. Spent some time trying to photograph it. Settled on this one to share.
