Been shooting when I can. but life decided battling brain cancer wasn't enough of a challenge for me, so handed me the 'rona last Friday. Needless to say, taking photos was shelved for a bit. Starting to feel better, so hopefully I can get back on track after my radiation treatments are done on Thursday. At that point I get a few weeks off to heal up and they can get a fresh brainscan to see if we knocked this stuff back on its heels or not.

So. I'm gonna try jumping in for the Dailies come September (or maybe even earlier if I feel the urge). My life's been kind of surreal this summer, and I may not exactly have a lot of Monthlies to participate in before I go shuffling off (Diagnosed with a brain tumor July 4, brain surgery July 9, about halfway through radiation with a boatload of chemo yet to come).
The single/daily ins have always been fun, and with work being non-existent for the foreseeable future, I have the time to spare so long as I don't need to walk much (the tumor took out my right leg, so I'm stuck walking via a cane now).
Depending how finances go I may treat myself to a K-1 for my birthday.

You're making me want to bust my Gigapan out (if I can find the bits for it). I bought my K-70 with it partly in mind, actually. I don't have many 'light' long lenses (my 100-500 is a push/pull and could double as a baseball bat), but even at wider lengths it does an impressive job of things. I realized quickly gigapan images tend to do best on dry, still days when the air is calm as even on a gorgeous day the objects in the distance will invariably get warped from air disturbance.
If you haven't tried astro panos with it, I highly recommend it!

So far I'm about halfway through radiology and aside from being perenially tired I'm handling it well. I'm *hoping* its a positive for them scrubbing as much of the cancer as possible, but who knows

Interstate 295 headed south today in the snow.
Bonus points for Stephen King movie fans out there.

Across the street from the house this morning... I live across from an off-kilter T intersection.

Man, how hard did he get hit? It popped the airbags! Those usually require a bit more than just a mild thump to deploy.
The car looks to be in bad shape to.

Jumping in a day late for the Daily. I'm not going to be able to focus on just one lens (though that cheap Sigma I picked up is tempting me), but I need to start stretching my legs and blowing the dust off. I've really REALLY been neglecting my hobby the past few years - when I went in to find a photo to submit for the January contest, I realized I'd only uploaded about two dozen photos to Flickr, and half of those were re-works of older shots.
The K-70 is an amazing little camera, it deserves not to be neglected.
Also if I get back in the groove, I can totally use it as an excuse to maybe grab a full frame come tax season. 90% of my lenses are FF anyway so there is no reason not to besides the cost of the camera.

The 14mm is rapidly becoming a favorite of mine. Shot this this morning while waiting with the kids for their bus to show up (literally the view out my front door!)

Somehow I missed the fact I shot this a few years back. I saved it from oblivion on my hard drive.
If I remember right, this was a CPL filter on the kit lens and the luck of an absolutely gorgeous spring day.
