I've spent most of the evening fiddling with 3D prints for work, so I didn't get out, therefore it's another backup photo today. EOS R5, EF35mm f/2 IS

A backup photo today, shot last night.
It's been another busy one.
You find some odd things along the river. I'm assuming this toolbox was left here by a boat owner to reserve the mooring space.

I took Bailey out for a walk this evening. He's an excellent little companion!

Hard (Toed) Workers

My work boots have just about had it...
This one's probably going to be my submission for this week's 52 Frames "unusual crop" challenge.
I'll take the EC on this one too, as I used my 35mm prime lens.

It's A Beautiful Day

I'm sure the gardeners don't like it, but I was quite happy to have another nice day after the last couple of very wet days.
I went for a quick walk with my friend and her dog this evening, and was quite taken with this scene.

The first poppy I've shot this year.
This one's a backup photo, because I'm a silly person who has spent most of the weekend so far messing with work related programming, because an idea got stuck in my head.
On the upside, my messing around was moderately successful, and my circuit breaker analyser software is further improved, and it should be easier to extend now.
Muppet.

Late posting this one.
52Frames' challenge this week is "high ISO", so this one's at 12,800. I might revisit this later in the week and push the ISO envelope a bit further.

Cracking Up

Both the ground and my camera, it seems.
My R5 has developed a taste for throwing errors in the last couple of days. I'll have to keep a close eye on it over the next few days - If it keeps doing this, it'll get to enjoy the pointy end of a warranty claim, as it's less than 6 months since I bought it.
I'll be gutted if there is something major wrong with it, partly because it was eye-wateringly expensive, but mostly because I love shooting with it.

I went to Rudyard Lake today for the first time. I'd never heard of it until my friend suggested it.
Very nice place, I'm sure I'll go back. Lots of boats on the lake, but very little engine noise, almost all of them seem to be either sail or electric powered.

This one's my 52 Frames submission for this week's "Water" challenge.

Late posting this one, and although I don't love it, it's the best of the bunch.

What Are You Doing?

I'm trying to make the most of my time with Holly and Pepper, and get some decent photos with them!

I liked the way the dying light was catching these leaves.
This one's a backup photo from last night. I ended up working late tonight.
