three-inch 50 caliber deck gun for a submarine. These were standard early in WWII but they didn't have enough power so they were later replaced by five-inch guns.

I was initially very confused by this designation until I looked it up. I’m not used to caliber as a measurement of length - this was a revelation to me.

I was out with the Lumix GM1 + Leica 25 last week. The GM1kit is the ideal hiking solution for me. I take the GM1 with the 12-32 it lens, Olympus 9 fisheye, Leica 25, Lumix 42.5 all in a small Domke shoulder bag. The complete kit weighs only 1000-1250 g and I don't notice it.

The blown out highlight in the first shot is a disappointment. I softened it up a little in post, but my skills are very basic at best. At least it is an improvement over the raw image.

BTW, I very seldom crop images in post. I enjoy the satisfaction of attempting to frame and shoot a good crop when shooting primes. I consider the warts (defects) as part of the shooting experience and enjoy my miscues all the same.

Three fellows doing a haka. As I observed when posting a different image of this performance on another thread, small difference in body build and facial shape make a big difference in how intimidating a man is doing this traditional ritual.

Hope you're feeling better.

Thanks for the worry. My whole family got sick, but everything is gradually getting better. Apparently it got too cold this year. September in Latvia was very cold.

A couple of years ago, I noticed that the camera, when you turn the shutdown lever, remains on, continues to work. I consulted the Olympus service, the answer was 230 euros ... On the specialized forums, the answer was one - repair. The problem seems to be known. But something in the behavior of the camera told me that the problem was in the software. After the procedure, I discharged two batteries, there was never a problem with shutdown, everything is clear and fast.

Press the MENU button. Keeping it pressed, turn on the camera.
Release the MENU button and press it again to enter the menu.
Go to the LCD brightness adjustment menu, located in the third item of the settings menu (with the image of a wrench).
Press RIGHT Arrow key to highlight the brightness adjustment slider.
Click OK. The camera will show a line with the name of the camera
Press and hold the MENU and OK buttons at the same time. Keep holding until the reset request menu appears. Click OK and turn off the camera

It looks ridiculous. Perhaps it can scare the local fauna.

I don't like cropping either. I don’t know why.

Hello everyone. Neglected to post for a long time.
Getting started again with some photography now.

My great grandparents, as near as ever I came to seeing them. All members of the generations before my parents were gone before they met each other. Notice names you don't hear or see much today = Arphaxad and Marrist Lavinia
