Good to hear John, How about you tell us how you all are in three months time!! I have an MRI coming up and I will do the same...well maybe not...I actually wouldn't expect anybody here to expend more emotional energy than a natural blink re. my life situation. Good Luck!

I love my PL 9. For me it's the goldilocks length for WA lenses....pretty wide but not silly wide and very close to a wide, walkaround. As good as the Laowa competition is it's hard to beat with the addition of AF, weather sealing and a slightly faster f/1.7 On a G100 it's a ridiculously small...

We are all very different but amusingly, [to some], my new favourite camera is a mint,perfectly functional, EM1i [$300 AUD]which I feel is destined to supplant my Em1ii in a lot of situations by way of it's tilting rear screen and modest size and weight. I had a GX8. Obviously a very nice EVF...

Parachilna Hotel South Australia grub [grub is a slang term for food.. right?] Not sure if it is 'from the road' or 'on the road' [or both]..but definitly a bit feral. :hmmm: Unsurprisingly, the Camel sausage was somewhat dry!

Definitly a very friendly guy!! Name his shop and it's address and you will shoo-it-in for the first prize! 👢👞👟 EDIT: 😲

Out of all the hill towns in Tuscany you pick Montipulciano? Eh,,,,correct! :eek:

You guys are locking in fast! Also, could be a clue in the angle of the pavement!

Right, This is my first go so I hope I have the rules worked out. Obviously Italia...and if anybody can tell me what 'hell from the mouth, sky from the hand' means I'd be quite grateful :D Looking for the what and where and a street name would be good too! Hint....It's NOT a plant shop!

Hmm yes, very true, OK.....just a wild guess .... Torres del Paine, Patagonia ? [and get ready...you will need more than Google Lens! :headbang:]

Ian, given that you know the height of these mountains, down to the last metre, I think it's time to fess up and tell us that you actually know where this place is!!! :th_salute:

The painful mountains?

You are very welcome!! You can start breathing agan now!...Well done!!

Does it start with a 'P' ? Probably not Phuket, Perth, Palermo, Palma Nova...all a bit warm...not even Patonga [a little town in NSW] :hmmm:

Talbingo NSW

Cant do that! We will hold you down and water-board you until you agree to have a turn!!

Some great shots there melanie!! I'm not 100% sure about the output of the Oly pancake? And you left the PL12-60 at home? :oops: [I know....a tad bigger than a pancake]

Ok, starting numbering f stops backwards from f/22 please [you can include half stops where applicable] !! Your time starts.......NOW! :yahoo:

Good luck with the scan results John!

John, the floors look so-so..but thats where all the walking in from outside happens. Apart from one spot, the walls look pretty good! I can understand your unhappiness with having to be where you are but there is a good chance that you wouldn't be chatting to us if not for this place!! So...

Maybe you could write John, as an extra, into one of your movies? 😱

'There was a chap from Mildura on the ward I'm in for a couple of days. He fell off his roof while cleaning their gutters.' Jeese, old geesers on ladders.......we should be banned from using them after we turn 70..or maybe earlier! :crying:

Sorry John, Just read all this [skipped through the graphics quickly 😵] Sounds like you betta git outa there fast...and back to Chateau King ! 🤯 [ Sorry, not sure an 'exploding head' emoji is appropriate here? ]

No definitely not a 'sleeper' but what is often not recognized is it's amazing output. I bought one a few years ago to see what all all the fuss was about and took an instant dislike to it. I probably had an average copy but I wasn't impressed with IQ and the zoom to open set-up drove me...

Thanks John, I was wondering where I could post my shopping list from yesterday at Aldi! [And Damn....couldn't find any decent Avocados!!] :dance4:

The PL 9 is great lens and I got one recently. For me 9mm is the goldilocks length for WAs.....it's wide but not silly wide. I was looking at the Laowa 6mm [sun-stars at f/4, yeaah!!] but that length really needs some serious concentration when composing a shot. And I couldn't be bothered with...

Some fun with my new PL 9mm

Yes, sorry, there is more!

my wife and I went on a bit of a street art safari in Melbourne recently. A huge selection of styles and presentations ranging from the panoramic, sweet, super grunge, humorous, sexy. And sorry, more to come! :mad:

It's All About The Light!

OMG....these guys..... [National Gallery Sculpture Garden, Canberra, Rodin and other]

Fallen Mech Warrior! :oops:

Lily

That's a normal sized adult female in the box [watched her get in] Circular Quay Sydney [Sorry for the image quality] EDIT: After looking at this again...it was taken a while ago...I do think I remember she was hugging a soccer ball as well...for good measure!

I mostly shoot M43 these days [EM1 ii] but there is a spare X-T2 in the house and my wife has an X-T4 and lenses. Anyway, I was looking hard for a medium tele zoom, particularly at the Oly 40-150 f/4 when it occurred to me that the 50-200 was pretty identical in focal range, aperture and size...

Thanks John! Well this one actually seems to be deep in thought!! :cautious:

Grey African Parrot

Maybe try to hold the camera a bit steadier next time Jason? :ROFLMAO:

Nature's Sculpture Park. Strangler Figs, Mary Cairncross Reserve, Maleny, Qld.

These were a few opportunistic shots after driving past some country racing, while touring. Shot from the road in a rush and a long way from being 'there'....but fun anyway and lit an interest in me for pursuing motor sports further .

Many thanks Charles!!!

Noisy Mynah

Thanks John. Old Woman Island?....well off to the right....closer to Maroochy I think? Used to fish for Bream [or anything] in the Maroochy River as well as dropping a crab-pot or two [loaded with irresistible pig heads!!] :p

Coolum Beach [Qld] Sunrise

Not sure but I think this is a Strangler Fig getting strangled! :eek:

Locally well known by photographers...and weirdly... wedding photo groups.....'one tree hill' Glasshouse mountains [and lone tree], Maleny Qld.

Albino, half blind but a woolly bundle of affection and joy!

A favorite for landscapes where the compression kicks in! Glasshouse Mountains from Maleny Qld.

If Only...A tag that follows most of us around. In this case we chanced upon a dirt bike race while touring around southern Queensland. Pulled up, and from the road, dragged out the Em1 ii and the Oly 75-300mm and blasted away. But: If Only we we were prepared, were 200m closer, I had, maybe...
