I hope I'm not committing a cardinal sin here. At the time of the shot, my reckoning was that it was a couple of minutes after midnight on the 14th. According to the EXIF, my camera's clock disagrees- placing this photo in the waning moments of the 13th. It will have to stand as my day's effort however it goes. It's also the thirtieth day of my month long commitment to using the Olympus E-M5ii and the Panasonic 25mm f:1.4. It's been great fun but I'm ready to put this one in the books and move on to a more free choice of gear, in keeping with the spirit of this challenge series

Another chance encounter when I wandered into the bedroom this afternoon. Slack housekeeping I know .....



K1 + DFA 15-30/2.8 uncropped.

Had a play with creating a landscape scene from nothing but clouds, I like the result.


Pentax M 100mm f4 macro on K-S2.

Will catch up commenting later tonight, just wanted to get this up whilst I had a spare minute.

I'll finish off the week of light with a crystal light painted abstract.

Am I wrong in thinking its Animals theme? In any event, not that I have any, except for insects, that I got from a visit to Kloofendal Nature Reserve, a place I have not visited in over 20 years, largely because of concerns about security. But things have changed, and that has been beefed up, and I spent 3 hours there, hoping to get some birds at the hide. There was none, except swallows. I did see a Rock Hyrax, but to brief for a shot. So the insects will have to do for today.


And the Proteas are just wonderful!

Pentax Q + 01 Standard Prime.

Not much in the way of photos today but I did get the scans from a roll of film so I'll post one. Cropped heavily with a little processing. Need to get this and the rest of the roll rescanned as something went amiss, hopefully not the negatives. But it is a safety shot so I'll post it to keep the Daily posts going for December.
Pentax 645n with 45-85mm. Film used ILFORD DELTA 100 PRO.
