If that was Type S, I don't want to know what Type L is... That was awful enough.

My experiences and observations have been reported to the authorities here. Australia has now been placed into a lockdown with each state isolating itself from the next. There's an occasional advantage in having a larger bodied camera (DSLR) and a larger lens with me... in that people assume I might be with the press (I'm not) but the smaller EOS M cameras sure make it a lot less conspicuous... and I'm able to take shots of what I see that are usually much better quality that my cellphone (iPhone) takes. As a freelance photojournalist these days, I like the image quality from the M cameras and their size is simply ideal for me to carry around pretty much anywhere.

Australians have been told the new lockdown, which came into effect yesterday, may last as long as six months. I think this will have an enormous effect on day to day photography and even professional photography from all of us - since weddings are all off and all public events and concerts etc are cancelled. My wife works in theater so that's out as well. Not sure I'll be able to post much here other than occasional cat shots until I can take a drive. I could do that tomorrow but only if I avoid other people and don't attempt to cross the borders south.

But I'm keeping my batteries charged and my camera handy. We're not forced to stay in our homes just yet - That would be classified as a "total lockdown here". So if my fellow Australians will simply show a little more sense, we ought to be able to get out if we're sensible and avoid others.

M6 + 32mm lens- looking at Sydney (on the horizon) from the mountains

M6 + 32mm lens - I probably should have taken two shots here with different focus points

I thought the Astrophotography shots from the 32mm lens and the 22mm lens were acceptable. I usually use a Tungsten WB setting so fooling around with the NiSi NN Filter required me to abandon that preference and the results were fairly pleasing. Though the tint in the filter still introduces a lot of violet and magenta that needs to be balanced out with a suitable White Balance.. These filters are only useful after sunset but for city shots they can be beneficial. If I had more time and was thinking more clearly at the time, I'd have taken some multiple exposures with different areas of the foreground in sharper focus.
