Day 2.
Over the past few weeks, I've gotten re-obsessed with both Instant photography in general (I have two cameras which use Fuji's cool Instax polaroid-style instant film), and with a Lomography instant camera I have, the Lomo Automat Glass Magellan (one of the few relatively inexpensive instant cameras which not only possesses a glass lens, as opposed to the all-plastic construction of most, but which also features a nifty manual focus scale on the lens, forcing the photographer to guesstimate the correct distance and thus focus or lack thereof). I took the Automat Glass with me on a recent trip to Mexico and got some surprising and outstanding shots with it. So, long story short, my subject today is both my Lomo Instax camera... and a Polaroid-style self-portrait I just took with it. (Addendum: the Lomo camera features a cool lens cap with built-in infrared controls that turn it into either a remote shutter trigger or a way to do longer 'Time' exposures.)
Taken with the GX9's l.monochrome.d jpeg setting, plus the Red filter, to accentuate contrast outdoors on a dreary day.

Monday is my daughter's actual (18th) birthday but she has been called into school a day early (unusual this week in the UK since it seems we are mainly closing schools due to a concrete problem in the buildings). So, tonight was the start of our celebration with a special meal - chicken enchilladas which is the one and only meal that I can cook.
This is the chicken, onion and cheese mix ready to be wrapped in tortillas and covered with homemade salsa. I deliberately shot this at f/1.2 so I could get a sense of how the lens behaves - btw, I focused on the nearest edge of the pan's contents

Jens , I inadvertently purchased that lens myself . The seller was in Japan and the US postal service lost it for six weeks so I wasn't able to return it. I for some reason thought I was buying the 1.8 especially because the price I paid for it over $200 U.S. but getting to the point I haven't been to keen on the image quality especially stopped down.I have just hung on to it because it is the smallest lens (in size) I have . I agree it does seem mushy. The 25 1.8 is leaps better IMO.

Visited friends today to watch some (American) football, hang out, and spend some time with their baby and dogs. Even though we're only on Day 2 and I didn't pick a theme, it's probably pretty likely that most of mine will be portraits (most likely kids) as that's what I enjoy most.

SIS Day 2 Canadian Cow at the More Moo Ice Cream shop.
We have company for a few days as it's a long weekend here in Alberta. We took them out on a little road trip to Sylvan Lake and then Gull Lake for lunch which was appreciated by all involved. This cow sits outside More Moo in Sylvan and is decorated in Canadian Red and White with Maple Leafs on it. More Moo is a sister shop to Big Moo just down the road.

I’m reminded by your posts an images of what a great camera the Df is. It really seems (to me, at least) to have a special way of rendering. I really like this, btw.

Thanks so much, Miguel. Yes, the Df is one of my (very very few) all-time favorite cameras. I prefer the image quality from it to almost all the newer cameras I’ve owned - or that I’ve just tried, for that matter. It was Nikon’s smallest full-frame DSLR, though it feels a bit bulky next to today’s Mirrorless cameras. Worth the carry, IMO, though. I’m glad you enjoyed the image.

Had I the extra several hundred dollars, I might well have gone with the Df rather than my D810 though they are very different cameras. And as much as I find I love the D810, that seems somewhat blasphemous - yet images like both versions of yours remind me why it's tempting
