Really like the flower / insect shots, that’s a great find - under $200 for a 600mm eq AF lens, wow
Thank you. Enjoy your rides!
More time exercising outdoors, less time sitting inside and arguing about gear.

I didn't get out - I didn't even ride indoors today (which is unfortunately much more likely to happen these days)Thank you. Enjoy your rides!

Residing in Blighty.Many thanks for you comments. The prices might seem a little dear, but the concept that everything is locally produced seems to have won a lot of people over. If you haven't already, (I'm not sure if you're based in the UK, but I think it's also available in Oz, NZ, Canada and the US?) take a look at the Amazon Prime produced series called 'Clarkson's Farm'. It is at times very funny and I think strikes a chord with millions in the UK about how difficult it is to run any business, big or small, without wading through endless mountains of paperwork and an unfathomable bureaucracy trying to hinder at every turn.Those prices are a wee bit dear.
Almost sold out. The Farmer's Dog. Panasonic GX1, 9mm Pana lens
For sure an attraction for moi small m4/3 bodies.If truth be told, I'm not sure they knew I was taking photographs! As we've previously discussed, the beauty of 4/3rds is its small size, wide angle lenses and photographing from waist level, whilst appearing to be looking at something else.12-32 on Gx1 makes such an inconspicuous combo noone bats an eyelid. Love how you photographed everybody just going about what they are doing. Says something about you they felt comfortable Matt with you photographing.Popped in to Bourton-On-The-Water on the way back on a blisteringly hot day. I’ve never seen the place so full!

Definitely see the rain in these photographs. Splashproof OM-3 + splashproof lenses well worth it.Some shots from song and dance festival's procession from city center to singing field, about 5 km (3 miles). This procession lasted 4.5 hours with ca. 30 000 singers and dancers participating. It was on very rainy Saturday, but people were all in good mood and very cheerful. I was quite happy that my OM-3 and lenses were splash-proof and my only concern was to keep front element clear of water drops.
SOOC images
Love seeing cultures in their traditional clothes.

Love bargains. All my current 6 x m43s were between £25-£75.
Also love thrift stores aka charity stores in uk, bric-a-brac stores. It's a pastime for moi popping into charity thrift stores.
Oh you gotta be reckless Janet that's the way to photograph.
These are real nice from 75-300II.

Guy you are doing a lot better than me. Thank heavens faculties still intact sufficiently to still be able to do enjoy this stuff.Nice looking ship, well done.
I would like to make something that complex but I know my old age eyes after cataract op don't seem to work as well close up as they did 60 or 70 years ago.
In my case currently on my (luckily little used) dining room table is this...

Jamie seeing your reflection in Evie's eyes reminded me of a song from 2005 I sang along to.Evie decided that she wanted to hide inside the box of my wife's birthday present, I really loved the light shaping that it did.
This was one of my first shots with the Sigma 56mm f1.4 - I really like the rendering here, it's so sharp without looking clinical. This was wide open and only the natural light in the room. The rectangular highlights are caused by the box opening, not a window haha.
The songwriter Joel Pott his baby girl was in intensive care soon after her birth, he wrote the song of this experience.
Quite an emotional song. The lyric "I've seen christmas lights reflect in your eyes."
"I see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes you'll be alright."
Whole song makes me emotional even now.
The band Athlete, the song Wires, wires that were in his baby girl to help save her. She survived now all grown up 20 years later.

I haven't used a GF6, but my guess is the output will be very similar to a GX1 or GM5. I've read a great deal in this forum about how the small Oly/Pana cameras never took off and I can't understand why.Residing in Blighty.Many thanks for you comments.

I fully accept that if your area of interest lies in wedding or sports photography there are better alternatives (cue for angry posters who only use 4/3 for weddings and sports!), but the PEN series and Pana G. GF. GM & GX models can fit in a pocket, weigh little and don't look in any way 'professional', which is great because people aren't constantly challenging you or trying to steal the thing!
They are the perfect tool for street and candid photography. If you haven't already got one, get a shoulder strap for it and develop the art of appearing to look at anything other than them. In the words of that great Englishman Arfur Daley, 'The World is your lobster'.

I am told I am due for cataract surgery, but other than needing more light I seem to be seeing close OK. I am at a crossroads. Not sure when to proceed. A month form 80.

Welcome to my photography journey! I started capturing the world through a lens at 14 with a film camera, and my passion has only grown since getting my first digital camera at 24. I love photographing nature, landscapes, and abandoned houses, seeking to capture glimpses of the past and how...

We have visited Ottawa many times, but Montreal only a few times. Something we need to rectify!

One of things endears m4/3 smaller bodies I have are their not serious looking, people on the whole just seem to not bat an eyelid when I have them in my hand or they smile laugh.I haven't used a GF6, but my guess is the output will be very similar to a GX1 or GM5.

Matt you reminded me this february one night I was out photographing, someone wanted to see what I was photographing with, when they saw my Gf3 they lost interest. I was pleased with this result.

Wonder what this Night Heron is observing.
Having 840mm type of reach Dave in such a relativity smaller lens + MC-14 is one of the sweet attractions of m4/3 imo.
