BBQs on the beach are what I live for. We stayed in Hayle today. I took a swim this morning and then we spent the evening walking along the beach and cooking awesome food. Perfect day.
July 2019: after my Zeiss Apo–Sonnar 135mm f/2 lens was stolen from me upon return from Scotland in May 2019, I thought long and hard about my replacement options. As I have moved to mirrorless and the Z7 camera, the best one would have of course been to buy the native Z-mount equivalent, but it didn't exist at the time, and as a matter of fact, it still doesn’t exist now, two years later. The closest equivalent is the 105mm macro lens, which has just been launched and which I have.
After debating between getting another copy of the Zeiss (very expensive for a manual focus lens!) or a Sigma Art lens, I finally went for the latter: less expensive, autofocus, very good repute, and with me for a limited amount of time, until the Z-mount lineup would start to beef up...
Of course, all this was before the pandemic which altered everyone’s plans, including Nikon’s.
Anyway, when I got the Sigma, I wanted to test the kind of bokeh I could obtain with it, and I wasn’t disappointed!
The lens is not stabilized but the camera is, and as you can see, even at a risky slow speed (1/80 sec. for 135mm), it is possible to achieve a sharp shot.

My words are legs, fur, ears, nose, cold & glowing. I think this would be an easy one. I used my Petzval Manual lens to take this photo.
fa così paura, sembra essere troppo veloce, e a volte, proprio quando non vorresti, sembra non passare mai. non ce n'è mai abbastanza eppure viene sempre sprecato, buttato, dimenticato...

Blue Mood
By Joseph Cowlishaw
Smooth melancholy reverberates the blackness
Deep blues shadow the walls as an eclipse in midday
Brief and concise but dominate
A sense of wonder flows through the depths as a cool treeless shade
Erupting in alleviation
Aversion ensues through the hues of blues
Golden glow disrupts the ethos of silence
A buoyancy of introspection through the quaintness of quiet
Tranquility emerges from the abyss
Momentary obscurity vanquished

I was thinking about how sadness and depression are very similar to the solar eclipse that is happening today throughout the USA. The eclipse at any location only lasts about two minutes. Those minutes may feel so much longer as we experience something so surreal - but they are still only minutes. I don't claim to understand depression and the feelings associated with it, but I do feel they are a small moment in comparison to the joy of this life and the warmth of the sun coming out of that momentary obscurity.

Love is a short 4 letter word and yet it carries so much in its meaning; happiness, pain, care, betrayal. To attribute positive meaning to love would be just as incorrect as negative. It’s both. Love can be romantic, it can be friendship, it can be social media related and etc. Love is a two way street in any shape and / or form. And after a year today I finally realized regardless of its form it can die easily when underappreciated.
