Wheel Lock

On my van. I have found that, with this lens, peak sharpness is achieved at about f/10 and falls off quite quickly as the aperture gets wider. You don't really want to go much wider than f/8, which seriously limits one's ability to isolate the subject from the background. I have therefore set the camera to aperture priority f/10 with Auto ISO.

Larry, is this a thing you put on your van to prevent theft? Or was this put on by some parking authority because you illegally parked? Just curious, as I've not seen a thing quite like this.

Mark, that was taken in my front yard, which is where the van "lives" when I am not using it. That wheel lock / clamp is to prevent theft.
 
Bright and sunny Saturday morning turned into rain waiting to happen as soon as I stepped outside. Got a couple of shots while the clouds were still semi-interesting but couldn't find a proper foreground.

This building is fairly interesting, though. There are a few similar ones here and there and I've wondered for years what their function is. Possibly sewage treatment plants?

After 6 weeks of mostly rain, and the next 10 day forecast not looking very proimising, it was time to bring in the rest of the produce from the vegetable garden. Camera works ok, the lens may need some further looking into.

Not to sure that it focuses correctly. It seems to have some sort of soft mushiness going on, even if stopped down a bit.
 
I got my shot already when driving to work early morning, but had to wait to get back home to give it a quickie in lightroom.

Glad that I noticed that I did in fact have a tripod in the trunk after parking the car at work. Would've helped a bit if the ISO weren't 3200 here... Oh well, AI denoise to the rescue I guess.
