That would be particularly garish. Maybe throw in an advancing level that’s in the shape of a dragon head too?

Happy #Caturday! Bit late to this one today. Sooty was snoozing today which gave me an opportunity to test the SMC Pentax-M 50mm f1.7 (at f1.7) on him. Adapted on the Sony A7R III of course.

Everything looks better with dragons. Even cameras would look more awesome if they had dragons on them!

Just had a peek through this book and there were no central fire bits or banquet tables. And no building look like a Great Hall. False advertising me thinks.

I can't see any cat?! Must be perfectly camouflaged in her surroundings! 😉

I think my luck is about to change. I found a £20 note on the floor at Tesco's carpark!

Either it's about to change, or I've just reached my peak! 😆

I’m surprised Trump never got the Nobel Peace Prize because he did end the war between the Federation and Dominion.

Today is going to be fun. Out of 8 employees on the workshop floor, today there’s only 2 of use. Me and one other (management to, but they don’t count). All the others are either off sick or booked the day off 😅

Rip off Britain. A good chunk of the population like the blame immigrants for the issues facing the country, when the reality is we’re being used as a cash machine by private enterprise and shareholders.

At the age of 40, I had the cheek and temerity to go out Monday night. Now going to spend the rest of the week recovering my energy levels 😅

Didn’t even have any alcohol dammit!

Must stop impulse buying old lenses 🙈😅

I don’t think the process of buying is too much of a problem. It’s the sheer cost of properties and availability!

Film: Pentax SPII. Just love the feel and mechanics of it. Just so nice to shoot.

Digital: Panasonic GF1 (amazing really seeing as I have a Sony A7R III). I just love it's dinky little size with the 20mm f1.7 lens.

I did see a lot of people carrying backpacks around both times I've been there. My assumption is, people carry raincoats and umbrellas with them at all times, just in case 😆

It added some drama to the scenes! But also, an accurate representation of Bergen and its interesting weather 😅

Slightly on topic question, do you need vaccinations for Japan on top of that Flu jab? Curious on my part for the future. I believe I need to boost a number of my vaccinations at this point!

Could have been worse! They could have administered it Pulp Fiction style! I'm due in the next couple of weeks for mine.

Another new film! This time from Lomography. Christmas must be coming! The colours and tones from this look great. For a colour film that is!

Hmmmm… I’m considering getting myself a new lens. Can’t decided between the Tamron 28-70mm f2.8 or the Sony 40mm f2.5…

I must admit, the prime lens does tempt me more. But the zoom is more practical.
