Yes it is crazy considering its a respiratory virus.

I just read (and for good reason) that Covid-19 deaths are caused by cytokine storms which can result in multiple organ attack and failure.

Covid-19 is a completely unknown virus and researchers are full on trying to find out more and more about it.

People have got to get the silly idea that it is just a flu with mild symptoms out of their heads.

There is also a significant chance of the virus mutating into a much deadlier version again like what happened back in 1918.

Be as cautious as possible for as long as it takes and be dedicated to not getting or spreading this horrible disease.

Corona 19 is not unknown theres at least 19 varients of it. The unusual is it is attacking humans

Well I was looking for some time off to play with my new-to-me K3, but this isn't what I had in mind. We aren't actually on lockdown here *yet*, but I've been staring at the yard in preparation. So for the first "real" photo from my K3, you get ... the side of my shed.

Edit: The photo is kind of flat and soft on here, but not that way on my computer. ???
I'll try to sort it out later.

Just a reminder that there is a General Talk thread on the virus. Lets keep this thread for photo posting please.

There's only one possible consequence of self-isolation: looking at bits of old photography gear and thinking: "Hmm, what it if was to . . . ?"

I've got this 1947 Kodak 50mm/3.5 that I converted to K mount a couple of years ago but have only ever used on digital APS-C. The Kodak 35RF that I took the lens off was too damaged to run a roll of film through, and I've never shot the lens on a film SLR until now. So I've decided to mount it on my old K1000 and find out how good that ancient lens really is (and it's GREAT on APS-C).

But it turns out that in the year or so since I last used the K1000 my eyesight has deteriorated to the point where I can't focus without a dioptre, so I've made one using the rubber eyecup from a long-dead *ist and the lens from a pair of cheap plastic reading glasses that I had available. ( Sorry these quick handheld snaps aren't great.)

At the moment I can still go out for a walk on the moor despite the social distancing, so I've loaded it up with a roll of ten year expired Fuji Superia 400 and hopefully I'll get some decent weather to try it in.

Apparently some don't understand the concept of a PHOTO challenge, nor the do they care about the requests made by you or the OP.
Three post have since been deleted as will be any future posts that don't contain a photo that's within the spirit of the contest.

I thought I might pass an hour sorting through my box of random lens caps, hoods and mount adapters. There's even a Phase One cap in there somewhere that I found out on the moor one day. Undoubtedly the only piece of Phase One gear I'll ever own, and probably worth more than some of my actual lenses.

These ducks heard about the virus and decided to self isolate.

That's a good one Paul, certainly an entertaining way to pass the time.

Darts are also a great idea, Sidney. Only problem is I don't own any.
