Carbs are good. It all depends which carbs.

I sort of knew that the DA 55-300 could do bokeh :D
Exif should be intact, but if you can't read it, this was at f/8.0. Eh? What's happening here?

You seem to suffer "bad luck" like that quite a lot :lol:

Heh. Reminds me of a T-shirt a young woman of similar proportions was sporting some years ago. "Weapons of mass distraction" caught my eye :lol:;)

It's, in effect, the aperture lever. The "rabbit ears" were used on Nikons before AI to mate with a bar under the front of the pentaprism so that the light meter was coupled with the lens.

The black bits are actually the leaves. It's an Aeonium arboreum var atropurpureum 'Schwarzkopf'. I only know this because we have a couple of them in planter pots and many little ones growing in the garden. The branches are quite brittle and bits fall off. If you stick them in dirt, they grow.
Here's a flower:
The leaves start to separate and a green stem extends from the middle. It develops little green flowers that gradually extend, open and turn yellow. The whole process takes about a month. Easy to grow and they don't need much water.

I feel for you ;) I sometimes start @ 5:00, but my commute is much easier - home office/central heating/mug of tea :D

@xjjohnno - I really like that last one of yours, John. You're a brave man to venture out into the weather we've been having :D
Playing around with narrow DoF with my FA50 1.4

re: FA50 1.4
I find it a very useful lens and I like the images it gives me. Even at inflated Australian prices, it's great value for the money.
Taken around the same time as Harry's photo, this one shows the sharpness of the lens quite well, I think. The original, full-size image is super sharp. F2 again. Just to keep things on topic, there's just the hint of a bit of bokeh starting to show itself :D

Here's Harry.
I'm appreciating the FA 50 1.4 more and more every time I use it.
Fairly narrow depth of field here at F2. Ears just starting to blur and the hairs on his back are well on the way. The green leaves on the right are about 18" behind him. Smooth and creamy in the background. Am I right or am I dreaming?

Get well soon.
