Been using a new (to me) lens the last few days, a Zeiss Touit 32mm F1.8. Going to try and make this my daily driver for the rest of the year as I look to train my eye back to the 50mm field of view.

Different point on the Southwick #parkrun course this week, got some brilliant action shots and, what I'll call, "almost portraits".

Technically it was probably the dark blue D&D cover from around 1977 (but I can’t find an image of that), so I’m going with the cover of the game that really got me hooked on #ttrpg

Seem to be lacking in motivation at the moment, so much so that I photographed a litter bin in Bath yesterday! 😀

Sunday's Bristol @great_run saw a large number of people taking part in support of a whole host of charaties and good causes, not forgetting all the supporters along the route cheering them on.

Here are just a handful of the photos I got focusing on these charitable endeavours.
