Welcome to my world
I managed a shot after the rain cleared, perhaps rendered a little too harshly for a country scene, although it does have elements of a gritty industrial setting albeit, in a rural environment. It could be I harboured some thoughts of the work of Bill Brandt in my mind as I processed this image. My cottage lies just the other side of this barn, and the barn obscures a large part of the village, As you can see I inhabit a rather restricted world. Some of my previous subjects can also be seen in this image.

I took a walk through the very old (by American standards) Stonewall Jackson Cemetery. One thing I like about this challenge is that I did not have to choose one picture.

DAY 26 - another image from last night's hunt, a sibling to the previous composition, to check what difference in atmosphere and impact a monochrome approach might give. Shot with Minolta MD 50mm f1.4 lens mounted via speedbooster on Sony A6000, 8 frames stitched in total:

Okay, I have to make up for the last couple of days. I let the E-M5 III rest yesterday to compare the two Voigtländer Noktons (50mm f/1.5 and 50mm f/1.2).
Today, I also took out the E-M5 III again, this time paired with the Sigma 60mm f/2.8.
First, a shot with the 50mm f/1.2 (wrong lens profile in-camera - I only noticed that in post) ... very solid performance wide open, slightly cool signature overall.
Now, two from the 50mm f/1.5 - one from yesterday, one from today; very good, though with a bit more CA and slightly busier bokeh than its bigger brother; still, very repectable, and a great walk-around lens. Warm signature, very pleasing.
The 60mm f/2.8 is a nice lens with great performance; however, the E-M5 III's S-AF had some difficulty in locking onto (admittedly very small) details, so I had to override focus manually at times. This is one of the results.
Exploring the E-M5 III has been revealing. While it's without a doubt the most capable
I've ever owned, I'm not completely blown away. Still, on the whole, I wouldn't hesitate to pick this camera for an assignment (I've already done so, in fact), even over most of my full-frame gear - but I might miss the odd shot to some idiosyncratic foible the camera exhibits (as hinted at above ...). Anyway, paired with its congenial partner, the 12-40mm f/2.8, it's a top performer, I'll just have to adjust my expectations a bit. I'll try one more combo during the next few days (with the Laowa 7.5mm) before the end of this month.

Not sure about the box, the docs are late 50's and early 60's. But there is an insurance policy doc from 1918 that might make the center piece for an interest picture.
SoCal will do that to you.
