#FenceFriday

Some fence and bokeh fun for Friday. Photo taken on a recent stroll around the corner to check out my "new-old" Lumix GX9 and my rediscovered OM System 20mm F1.4 lens.

The GX9 is another new, used acquisition (this time from MPB), a camera I considered buying back in 2018 when, for rational grounds (High-Res mode, splashproof, designated HDR button, etc., all of what the GX9 doesn't have), I got the Oly EM-5 Mark II instead but, strangely, never warmed up to the latter so I traded it in for the OM1 two years ago. Of my few outings so far with the GX9 I can say that the camera was instant fun. True, the electrical viewfinder is nothing to call home about but still nice to have, and it's a cool feature that it can be folded up. And the battery life... it shares the battery with the much smaller LX100 series, so it doesn't last that long but since I now also own both LX 100s (I and, since Easter, the Mark II) and I already had a couple of extra batteries for these, it's not a big deal.

With the huge hype about (and general unavailability of) the Fuji X100V and VI, cameras like the GX9 (and even the still older GX80/85), the Ricoh GRIII, the 8-year-old Pen-F and such are being extremely hyped up as well right now. So I'm glad I got a GX9 copy "as new". I'd have loved to get a Pen-F but the "as new" prices are almost the same as the original retail price of its release year 2016, and that's insane.

As for the 20mm F1.4 lens, the 40mm equivalent is a focal length I like very much. However, at first, I also didn't warm up to that lens, either. I thought it lacked in sharpness, and my copy suffers from extreme red (!) and turquoise-green chromatic aberrations which, however, can be dealt with in post even if it takes a few more slider tweaks than your regular aberrations. But I love the bubbly bokeh and the general rendering, and now, the first walk with the GX9 confirmed that the lens's sharpness is excellent. So it will see more camera time in the future.

In case you've read to this point (and I could understand if you haven't): Wishing you HFF, and a nice weekend!

This one's plain and simple. Just be yourself; don’t follow the crowd! Trends and fads come and go faster than a, "Hey, Macarena,” but don’t give in to pressure from your peers.

Don't get mad; get a puppy!

Studies have shown that puppies lighten our mood, lower stress levels, and even help us live longer. So next time you're feeling overwhelmed, go home and play with your pooch!

Sunlight amazes me after months of rain and fog. This is a slinky, "a precompressed helical spring toy invented by Richard James in the early 1940s. It can perform a number of tricks, including travelling down a flight of steps end-over-end as it stretches and re-forms itself with the aid of gravity and its own momentum, or appear to levitate for a period of time after it has been dropped."

But I simply wanted to play with the bokeh light and shadows, for now.

This effect was created by placing a piece of plastic on top of my computer screen with an all white background. I placed a crystal ball on top of the plastic to maginify the poloraized colors. The compositon was photographed using a Polarized Filter.

with a few textures added for my adulthood fun

"Double Fun!"....

The comings and goings of the bird life on the Farne Islands made for great entertainment, especially the characterful puffins.

Happy Crazy Tuesday!

A candid street shot from Blackpool, UK (August 2024).

I didn't have a fly but I did have this fun shot I took of this little dog earlier this week, wanting to play with Luna and Binky. He was so playful and looked so cheeky in the long dewy grass!

I wish you all a fun/happy/fly/Friday ;-) and a great restful weekend ahead! 😊

When Sophie doesn’t want to let me throw the ball, she will throw the ball/toy in the air to herself. After an afternoon of playing in the dirt, Sophie was very dirty and needed two baths to be completly clean.
