I was waiting to see if there were going to be more responses... I had one answer in my mind is right. But thinking back on the shoot... I think maybe your response is the correct answer. LOL...
A sea of bubbles blowing towards me - and several children accompanying them. I had to move pretty quick! Brighton sea front a couple of days ago.
Part of a series for the next few days - Falcon 9 launch yesterday. This iPhone photo documents the worst possible setup with a morning launch direct into the sun. Taken about 20 minutes before liftoff. Far prefer afternoon or evening launches. Distance "as the crow flies" is about 5 miles. Location is directly across the Intercoastal Waterway where it borders highway US1.
Oh hell noBut, if you'd like to judge the September POTD, please go ahead

We've still got a few Black-eyed Susans hanging on but gradually they're dying off and petals drop away, leaving just the "black eye" part. I shot one of the survivors today and a little flying friend came along to check things out.....
With the new glass?

Small birds that move fast are a challenge. Anyone ever get a good swallow BIF picture?
We used to have swallows around here but this spring and summer I haven't seen any -- don't miss 'em, really! They were a pain, dive-bombing people and animals walking along the boardwalk. I made a couple of attempts to catch them in flight but missed each time!
Yes, the image of the Black-Eyed-Susan and Friend was indeed shot with the new 100mm STF f/2.8 lens. I"m going to LOVE this lens -- such smooth, creamy bokeh!

See here. I was truly impressed with the results. Shot with an E-M1ii and adapted Canon lens. I have them around me and I don’t know how anyone keeps up with them. A crosshair sight helps, I suppose.
I was surprised any of the 10 shots I took was in focus. Faster than an F1 car, but the size of a can of Coke.
Yeah, not only are they fast, but they turn on a dime! I’ve tried, and at best I get some half sharp shots. BIF folks are a passionate breed, and no doubt they have some hefty shutter counts on their gear.

Longtail Tit. We don't get these very often in the garden. Shane as they are a very cute bird.
Yesterday's photo of the setup indicated that shooting into the sun for morning (8:46AM) launch is not the best idea. In that photo, one can actually see the ground crud that dominates this photo and the transition to blue sky as shown with future photos in this series. Afternoon and evening launches are far more picturesque - but I don't set the schedule. This was manually focused in setup, but its lack of focus gives a good example of refraction effect with the heat and distance (5 miles).
As a point of reference the Vehicle Assembly Building to the right is the tallest single floor building in the world at 526 ft (160m) with the doors 456 ft tall, taking 45 minutes to open or close. On hot humid days, clouds can form inside the building.

The light was really flat on my outing to Barr Lake. But at this time of year, there are lots of patches of sunflowers.
