As well as the excursion, this day was a testing day of sorts.
Got a new backpack a few weeks ago to carry gear (Mindshift BackLight). Check! Carried some extra gear just to add some weight and it felt great.
Got some new boots this past week that are water proof. Double check!! Feet kept dry.
And wanted to test using my Canon wide angle on the Sony camera. Autofocus speed is not great, so switch to manual focusing which isn't a big deal for landscapes. Focus peaking makes it easy. Check!
A good day :))

I spent an hour on Sunday looking for things that might make an interesting texture shot for this week's Macro Mondays theme. Dead flower heads, a snail shell, a leaf... nothing really worked. I then had a look in my garage which is stacked full of stuff and came up with this filthy old oil can and I thought - why not? It's certainly got some texture to it.
An interesting story regarding the lens I used here - a manual focus 90mm f2.8 Sigma Macro - which I got as part of a job lot of old camera gear which I purchased because I saw two other old lenses in the lot that I thought might be interesting. This is actually the first time I've actually used this Sigma and I was more than pleasantly surprised by the results. I put a short extension tube on it in order to get in closer than the 1:2 capability of the lens. I stopped down to something like f5.6 so I would expect reasonable depth of field, which it produced, but I wasn't expecting how fantastically sharp it is.
This was shot hand held on my Sony A7ii at 1/60th of a second and ISO 500.
