Here's a panorama more in line with the spirit of this thread, a five-file stitch.

Maybe one of the six versions will have a screen that is articulating ?
From what I can deduct that would add another 40% to sales from us Pentaxians that are still waiting for our real "Flagship" model to finally arrive !

Nice. I sold my '93 3.9l V8i. Like yours, mine ended up sitting and the longer it sat, the more went wrong. So it is with cars. They need to be used regularly to keep the maintenance manageable.
Secondhand scrappy old Defenders are going for big bucks here.

A stitch from Sunday morning's outing which was really nice. I had a old friend and work colleague in town with his daughter who is into landscape photography.
I invited her to join me and I think the scenery and conditions just about blew her mind. Fun to share with someone who appreciates it so much. She got some fine photos too.
I wasn't expecting the fresh snow but it was a welcome surprise!

A fantastic sunrise a few mornings back at the Pool of Rememberance and Eternal Flame, Kings Park - "Let Silent Contemplation Be Your Offering".
First two taken with Pentax A 645 35mm on a Leaf Credo 60 digi back. The third is possibly my favourite, taken just after the first two using the Mamiya 55mm f2.8 ( I haven't adapted the Pentax D-FA 55m yet :lol: ).

I think they are warming up to the idea.

I'm so happy to finally have a great wide angle lens for my K-1 II. All of these are taken within the City of Phoenix, Arizona - one of the largest cities in the US.

It holds for both zooms and primes... I frequently shot wildlife at ~170mm with my DA*60-250, because walking in is better than standing back. Better to walk in and shoot with a shorter focal length than stay where you are and shoot 250mm.

26 seconds apart. For non zoom guys, do you want both images, or would you rather change lenses and miss one. Do you want to walk in with shorter lens for the 250mm shot?
The last question being a test of your sanity.:D
How crazy will you get to deny the advantages of zooms? :D
I'm always glad to give meeting someone's expectations shot. :D
I'm always happy to point out, if you don't shoot like I shoot, it's probably because you don't do what I do. :D

I started thinking about a "social distancing stick" as a joke, then I remembered I had to finish modifying a hiking stick for my wife. She wanted the ball at the top, which I bought.

Then I had to finish sharpening all my chisels. The ones on the left are just an eBay addiction. You can buy three or four rusty old chisels cheaply. The cleanup takes a while. I still have to work on getting the handles to match.

Today I cleared off the workbench and started making another canoe paddle, my third attempt.

I've built my son a weight lifting bench as the gym is off limits at the moment.\
And my wife is working on one of her quilting projects.
