Focus Is Optional

A backup from last night.
Technically not correct on account of nothing being in focus, but I quite like it.

Not sure what was going on here, some kind of private fair / silent disco thing was set up in the park.

It is recommended that you do not leave your water bottle in the park for a passing photographer to take advantage of...

Up You Go

A backup photo from my London trip.

I decided to go for a daylight white balance and let the fluorescent lights do their crunchy green thing on this one. Reminds me of the days of film.

Or Tri-modal, if you count bipedal.

Poppy

I think this is the first half-decent poppy shot I've taken this year.
I rather like them, little explosions of red against the green background of grass or crops.

Time To Reflect

I do enjoy an evening walk by the river.
A backup photo, my sound man hat was firmly affixed to my head today.

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.
