Oi, Wot You Lookin' At?
... Was the tone I was reading into the slightly insolent stare I got from this lamb.
Or do I anthropomorphise too much, perhaps?
Trams and Bats and Vitreous Water.
Took myself off to the embankment this evening. I like it here, it's a peaceful place, and there are good memories.
A couple more after the jump.

To Friends, Departed: A Glass, Elevated
There's a bit of a story behind this glass. Lucy was never a big drinker, but on a night out with some friends a few years ago, she was persuaded to order a pint of cider.
After about four hours, she made it to the bottom of the glass, and there was much jubilation as a result.
The moment was fortunately photographed. (photo after the jump)
Somehow, the glass ended up coming home with us...
It seemed fitting to raise this glass to her on her birthday and remember some of the good times we shared.

Snuggles!
I went for a sunny early evening wander by the river today. I'm quite pleased with these, and with some others I took today.
I'd recently had some misgivings about the sharpness of my 150-600 lens, but I thought I'd try stopping it down and cranking the shutter speed up to try and get the best out of it. I managed to get these at f/13 @ 1/640 sec, ISO 1600, and it's tamed both the camera shake and fuzziness I had previously been unhappy with.
I've still got a bit of a mental picture from my early DSLR days of anything over ISO 800 being really noisy - but that's not really the case with these more modern cameras. ISO 1600 on the 6D Mk II is pretty clean, and definitely usable.
I need to stop fearing the ISO!
Totally unrelated, but I got my first clear covid test today, so I'm really hoping it's still good tomorrow, which will mean I can see some friends and family at a thing that's been planned for a long time.
A few more after the jump.
