More garden shots, everything seems to be blooming a little slower this year

Two days late for the theme of the 24th with a portrait of sorts...



The stare

Havoc and destruction are down to stay for the weekend. Black kelpie/border collie cross if you are wondering.

I've been curious as to whether the M85/2 can fully resolve the K-1 sensor - I use presence of moire as an indication of whether the lens resolved line pairs approach the pixel density. Haven't seen any moire this month to date although finding a subject with just the right frequency patterning is rather luck of the draw. Portraits of this beastie today though invoked some moire. In the image above, the fur on his forehead needed a dose of the moire local adjustment brush in Lightroom to tidy up. So I'm now comfortable to state that the M85 is able to keep up with the K-1's resolution.

More of the beastie...



Poised for action

He's incredibly ball chasing/catching focused - his owner (my son) has a ball in his hand. I don't need to tell you which side of camera he is on!

I put more old stuff on sale today.

This' all I got left...

At the boating lake on my walk this morning. GR ii



And there are crocuses everywhere all of a sudden.

Another walk by the canal at daybreak.

This lot were posing nicely, til bailey appeared

After a couple of weeks of planning, today was the big day, the big non party, the non assembly of all our staff in recognition of a 44 Yr vet retiring (while respecting COVID-19 distancing protocols). It was a busy day, and emotionally draining after another colleague lost her father to COVID, and was helpless to care for her mother and sister also afflicted.

Celebrate what we can.

In need of a good spring cleaning in my shop. But looks like there's still room for more stuff.

Had to go into town for a medical today as I have to go offshore at the end of March. It gave me the opportunity to take some pictures somewhere other than the village or in the woods
