Thanks for viewing my Flickr feed! I typically go out with two cameras, two lenses, and post what I think are the best from each lens for the day. Sometimes it's a hard choice (because they all suck equally bad... lol!).

LOL. But, but.... this one sucked less !!

Here's a couple of my least sucky shots from the vineyard today. I hope these aren't getting too monotonous.

Still struggling with focus issues. I need shims that are slightly thicker than the ones Focusingscreens.com gave me, but thinner than the metal one that came with the camera. Does anyone know where one can obtain focus screen shims?

 

[RBIV]

Can't help you with focusing screens, but want to say I like the first image very much.
Such an image would definitely be in "my fences" collection.

 

[JCDoss]

Thanks RBIV!

Today I swapped focus shims in my silver camera, which I think helped with the focusing issues I've been having. Also, I figured out that if I modify my practice I can get more hits. So I practiced today with my K200f2.5 wide open all day just to see how well I could do. I'm satisfied with the results.

We went to an outdoor concert last evening.

I was going to put a Waldo in there, but luckily there's already one in the scene.

Along partly the same theme, While waiting for a friend.

I set the JPG profile in the camera to BW and shot RAW+JPG today. I've actually been shooting RAW+JPG for a while now and deleting 99% of the jpgs as the RAW files are so much richer, but I wanted to give the shots today a chance. I chose color versions for posting here, but the BW are available on my Flickr.

Here's today's catch.

I was away for a while and ignored social media stuff to concentrate on taking landscapes so only just read and seen these. I did have access to the web connection but hardly looked at what was here. I noticed on the way back on the train that I could get onto the site but even then did not look here. Just looked at my Street Photos and noticed they looked really dark and small on my phone.
Your Cathedral shot is great and great photographic sky there too. I will post some of my shots here soon like maybe tomorrow from the trip to Wales.
