You can always rely on the Bougainvillea for a splash of colour - I have 100's of shots.

What a lovely and amazing image, Sue. I can see why people wax poetic about the capacities of the DA 15...a great lens, obviously. But this is a great photograph.
Reminds me of Cronulla.

Sometimes I think I get a little bit of DSLR envy. Then I pull out my old *ist D with a Vivitar 70-150 and I'm reminded why I gave up most of my legacy gear. This was the best of 6 attempts - I'm just not very good with old manual glass these days. Or maybe I just lost my touch with the split screen focus. Which is odd, considering my only camera for 20 years was a film SLR with split screen focus. IS and focus peaking have ruined me.

A few more attempts while watching a feeding frenzy. The tree rats have figured out a way past the squirrel guard - for now. These are rather gritty and film-like. I wonder if what many have thought of as the "film look" was just the film, or how much the old lenses we used played a part?

I can relate. I've pretty much given up manual focus on anything other than my Fuji gear. I don't do well with moving subjects anymore, and narrow DoF gives me fits unless on a tripod. So, mostly AF for me these days. (However, I do love the handling and rendering of the new Heliar 50/3.5 on my X-H1.)

Pentax K-7 & Sigma 17-70mm f2.8 - a little undecided about this lens - great range but I often struggle to get something sharp with it (more my fault rather than the hardware, I suspect)

Holy cow! Going through my photos of the Super Wolf Blood Moon again, I realized that I actually captured the meteor strike!

Q-S1 with DA55-300. What dumb luck!

I saw that on your Flickr stream and was tempted to ask "is that real??"

On the night of the eclipse, I quickly reviewed the photo and thought it was a stuck pixel.
