The same dramatic sunset cloud patterns that I showed recently from Heather Farm Pond, are here viewed from the Countrywood/Bancroft neighborhood of Walnut Creek, California.
OM-1 mit Olympus 100-400 mm (400 mm) Freihand
Fundort: Deutschland - OWL - Oerlinghausen - 29.07.2023
A Great Blue Heron takes off in the early morning on Little Queenstown Creek in Queenstown, Maryland.
In 2019, I acquired an Olympus OM-1, and of course, it was time to put it to the test. I loaded the film, and here is one of the results from over six years ago, taken on an aging basketball court. It’s precisely the worn, weathered character of the place that gives the photo its unique charm.
In 1862, silver and gold were discovered in the southern Baja California Sur mountains, leading miners from Mexico and the United States to rush to settle in El Triunfo in a gold rush.[4] Many of the miners had participated in the 1849 California gold rush.[4] In 1878, the mine was taken over by the British El Progreso Mining Company and became more successful. Once the largest city in Baja California Sur, it was home to more than 10,000 miners.[2] In its heyday the town was a cultural center, where Francisca Mendoza taught and performed.[5] El Triunfo was the first town in the region to install electricity and telephones.[6] Pianos and other instruments were brought to El Triunfo from around the world and a piano museum still exists.[7] When mines shut down in 1926, most of the townspeople left to look for work elsewhere.[2] The 2010 census reported a population of 327 inhabitants.[1] El Triunfo is one of the best preserved 19th and 20th century mining communities in North America and remains an important site for archaeological research.[8 - Wikipedia
There was some lovely spring sunlight while I took a quick break in the garden between meetings and this obliging squirrel timed it perfectly to use the peanut feeder behind one of the Elder trees.
The OM-1's AI subject detection is great at detecting birds and setting the focus on the eye, especially useful when they are continually changing direction.

I think some people are far too precious with their photographic equipment. To me it's just a tool and it goes where I go, rain or shine....or ice. OK, I wouldn't say I abuse it, while some may say I do, but no cameras were hurt in the making of this photo. Which I'm doing only for the people at the Macro Mondays group who, this week, have demanded a photo of an object "in ice". This shot is just a trial sample, but I shall refine it to the Macro Mondays exacting standards. I must admit I am abandoning my previous effort of a foxglove flower in ice, for fear of triggering the group police to disqualify my shot on the basis that the frozen bit in the middle has become the subject with its bubbles, spikes and cracks and that is definitely verboten by the rules.
So here is my Olympus OM-1 dunked in a bucket of water and put in our freezer overnight. And only about 34mm across.
