It's finally getting really warm out so I headed out for a bit and the chipmunks were everywhere around me today.

After taking photos of the turtle in my last post this fungi on a log caught my eye as it was just off the path. And I had to grab some shots of it.

Spring is definitely coming, the birds are chirping, but for now the snowdrops are still the only flowers blooming.

My last post was of the first flowers of the year and that along with the first snowfall are 2 things that I always try to capture. And today I stumbled upon 2023's so I thought I'd share it.

I've been shooting a lot with m43 gear and when I got to check out the OM-3 I brought my old E-M10 mkII to compare the 2. As you can see it's a little bigger but you're definitely getting a nice jump in performance for that size.

This was a fun shot taken at 800mm equivalent with my E-M1 mkII. When you add up the crop factor to 35mm & 2x TC the PanaLeica 50-200 F2.8-4 has a full 1x macro magnification.

Back in Dec I had an amazing experience with a group of circus performers who put on multiple performances with full show lighting so I could test out the Panasonic G9 II’s AF.
It worked out pretty well! And this shot is of @qatherine.bsky.social
