Cracking shot Allan, and a great reflection too.
Too kind DaveStunning.
What are you all up to ? I've just had a massive image cull and back up, well overdue.
I‘m back to work tomorrow - 3x12 hour shifts. Lucky me. I’m going to bored stupid so I might take my XE1 with me and have a walk around the grounds and see what I can take pictures of.
When I’m back at home I’ve decided to make some 6x4 prints of my photos and make a scrapbook. Should pass a bit of time and be fun. After that I’m going to do a cull of raw files in my catalogue, cleaning out all the garbage, (which could take a while. )
Nice shot George, spotless boots.
Hi - the close focus on the 16-55 is closer than listed. On my XT3 at 16mm it focusses at about 27cm from the focus plain which is about 14cm from the front of the lens. Not sure about other focal lengths though..
That might be the case, but I yearned for more, got the 16 1.4 in it's place which is a tough one to beat for close focus outside of a macro lens. That doesn't have the best magnification ratio either though, and it just made me want even more, so I finally gave in and got a true macro lens
Speaking of macro, I had some bad luck this eve, was messing about with some kitchen macro set ups and knocked my old YN-560 flash off the counter one of the steel connectors inside the battery door has come off - I think it's time .... have it years now, maybe 6-7 - have used it for Nikon, Fuji and M43, so it's definitely paid it's way. Not something I wanted to have to buy right now but maybe something lighter like a Godox TT350
The Godox TT350 is a cool little flash, does a good enough job for me when using indoors.
A few more from my trek down by the river yesterday, again using the Laowa 100mm on the H1

You're making the unavailability worse
I love it, such an unusual shot !I just finished processing a Wedding and have been to the post office sending off their USB. Just going to copy all the files off my laptop onto my NAS and do a backup tonight.
Dunno if I can use this one for the challenge as it was taken before? Couples have allowed me to share their photos of course.

I had the 16-55 f2.8 before I bought my X-H1, I used it primarily on my X-Pro 2. I got some lovely images with it, but a lot of soft images as well. Even with the hand grip it didn’t balance well, so I sold it.
A week after I made an impulse purchase of the X-H1 I bought another, such a difference the IBIS made to that lens. It balances perfectly on the X-H1 it is a marriage made in heaven. It is getting near DSLR territory size wise but it’s such a lovely combo. Get one, you won’t regret it !
If anyone is interested, I stumbled across this spreadsheet today to give you settings required to simulate various film (around 80 simulations).
Here's the link to the SPREADSHEET
And here's the link to the WEBSITE that it came from.
