Bugger! Sorry to see this Keith. I hope it all gets sorted promptly and thoroughly

I see I was waaaaay too slow seeing the first mention ;)
I’m glad you’re home and sorted

Utterly dismal participation from me (again...) but I kept up with taking photos - and have just this morning uploaded the rest of the month (9th onwards, believe it or don't).
Fave is probably this:
Eternity by Occasionally Focused, on Flickr
Though I'm also a fan of a rainbow and the light here on That Tree:

Still absolutely loving the lens. Don't know if I have anything more or different to say about it though. As with any lens I've ever put on a camera I'd like closer focus xP ... but realistically there's only so much you can have all at once.

Hmmmmm … that would be what’s happened for me (that I forgot till now, as I don’t use the floppy screen that much: I can’t really use it now, as beyond a few degrees the screen goes black. :-/
Bum

Not an especially useful opinion perhaps, as I don’t know the others you’ve mentioned, but I looooove the KP. Lovely to use, enough flexibility in settings for me, and beautiful image-making. Note: primary comparison is my old K-30, so was a big step up

If my appalling recent participation record doesn’t bar me, I’m in again…
Continuing with 40mm limited (have most of March still to upload…)

Thanks all. The CD role was really good for maybe the first three years … maybe 2 1/2? … but increasingly it was becoming all the things you note.
Muggins here felt so good on the weekend I started to second-guess myself … “maybe I could stay in the role… it might be ok …” Very quickly put the kibosh on that. “Don’t be a fool. You’re feeling better *because you chucked it in*; don’t mess that up”. xP
Happy for you others having made similar decisions. It can be too easy to lose why we started something in the first place. - And what we’re best at.

First day today of not being the clinical director.
First day in ages I’ve taken my camera with me.
… not truly connected though; didn’t have leftovers for lunch, so I ended up with space in my bag. xP
Feeling good though; was the right decision - and maybe I will get my head more back into photography

Another month with the DA 40 mm limited. It's fantastic; I'm not xP
I missed a few days O_O and did not keep up at all at all with posting or anything else (even processing and uploading I only finished off the last week and a half this morning, a week into March).
I still love the lens to bits; the focal length feels pretty right just about all of the time for me, and there is often a feel, a rendering, a something about the image that I think elevates it a bit.
I do wish it focused a bit closer sometimes, but we can't have everything.
Rather than spamming threads from a fortnight ago, the album is here: Single in February 2024 - HD Pentax-DA 1:2.8 40mm limited | Flickr |

I missed three days last month [emoji19] Not best pleased, but I’m past being upset about it. Probably helped that it was more than just one day, tbh
Sounds like a gnarly day

I’ll give it my best shot - but bear in mind that’s not very good atm.
Carrying on with the DA 40 limited

Urrrk … what a bugger - though I’m glad the cleanup went well. Rest up and take much care of yourself and that hip.

>_< Flickr upload fail means that I've just wasted half my train trip on attempted posting for the first five days of February :-/
And now we're about to hit tunnels - so I give up.
Grumble.
That's the word of the last wee while, actually - though for different reasons...

I do have a kindle, and it’s great … but books that I really like, I prefer in paper. The feel, and the experience of reading. It may be foolish, it is really, but there it is. I did consider getting the rest of the series electronically, but decided against it xP

I should commit. Missing a couple of days doesn’t mean it’s all over xP
Still DA 40 limited

It kinda is. Can’t fit the camera in my bag because I’ve got a great big book there - so I’m not bringing it to work. That then means photography ends up less in my head overall.
Add Baldur’s Gate to that, and I’m just lost xP

Buggeration! Missed yesterday (not even an iPhone photo of anything to maintain my overall streak). Dammit.
Didn't have my camera with me through the day, which was ok - intended to take something in the evening. I was on-call in the evening. Everybody was drink-drinky ice-y ice-y and I was getting a phone call every few minutes at some points. Never more than 20 minutes between calls. Utterly bonkers, and I didn't even think about photography.
Dammit.

Yes, my parents read them (well, the first several) many years ago. When I told my mother that I had discovered that Brandon Sanderson finished them off she got rather excited, and thought she might even have another go.

Book 3: The Dragon Reborn
I knew of the series but had never read it. Daughter gave me the first three books for Christmas, and they are sooooo good. First was great; second was unbelievable; I’m about 1/3 through this one and it’s fantastic so far.
Time to get the next few in the series.

I’m even late getting to the halfway post! :(
Still shooting and still loooooving the DA30 limited … but not taking my camera with me to work; combination of ++rain, and wanting space in my bag to carry the Wheel of Time books that are taking pretty much every moment I have outside work and Baldur’s Gate xP
But the lens still delights, and feels just right somehow

How decidedly odd. I’m glad there’s nothing with camera (or other lenses)
