Cedar Rose.

I've had this cedar rose floating about the house for a while, and landed on it as a last-minute subject today, after spending a large chunk of the evening updating and preparing my live streaming system for a job at work next week.
I've been intending to deal with it in working hours for about 3 weeks now, the box has been in and out of the back of the car at least twice, and it even made it all the way into the office on one occasion, but as ever, there were larger fires that needed for be dealt with, and it got pushed back again and again.
Still, it's done now, just need to connect and test it with the real camera setup at work, then I'll be all set to play vision mixer (and several other simultaneous roles) for the week.

And a bridge.

A backup photo today, it has been far too hot, and I crashed out badly after dinner.

I'm quite pleased with the teleconversion lens I picked up (used) for the X100V.
It gives a roughly 50mm equivalent field of view, up from the standard 35mm equivalent, but it maintains the f/2 aperture of the native lens by attaching to the front and having a larger front element. Rather clever - I'm used to teleconverters eating at least a stop of light.
It's quite a lump, but the camera still feels pretty good with it attached.
It turns out that it's easy to install a magnet into the Mk1 converter that I have in order to convert it functionally to a Mk2 - the optics apparently didn't change, but they added a magnet for auto-detection of the converters with the more recent X100 series cameras.

We seem to be having rather nice weather for the bank holiday weekend.
Another backup today, shot yesterday, and another shot with the good old S95.

These colourful bushes caught my eye as I came round a corner here, on an evening walk.

I met up with my parents and a family friend for lunch at Attenborough Nature Reserve today.
I took my old S95 out for a spin again. I still enjoy using this little camera, Canon really did a good job of getting decent manual usability in a tiny body.
