Great shot with the focus on the finger, really draws attention to the workpiece. Nice
Curious to see an electrician’s screwdriver there.

Challenging week for me - positive COVID test last Saturday so a week recovering & working from home... but managed to get out this weekend to found some very high floodwater around town... so a slightly morbid take on the people theme where I got into some deep thinking about our lives spent trying to master everything but ending up powerless to mother nature... ...must have had too many lemsips

It's usually a file size thing. A bit daft when hosting pix off site yourself. I've raised this issue in the past and got no joy.

Like you, I went to a graveyard for this topic but you've absolutely nailed it with all four of your pictures . Excellent.

Thanks both, that means a lot!! I really enjoyed it (hope that doesn't sound too morbid) as the old Rokkor lens Id just would is fun to use and tie light was amazing!

...Week 39 - Exit - Has gone AWOL but I'll be back for it.....
In the meantime, a couple of candid attempts that I'm not too embarressed to share - haven't got used to wielding a proper camera in public yet!
First one is in Alton at the start of a decent circular walk, taken with the 35mm Sony zeiss lens

Second is from our local Parkrun with the Nikkor 50mm film lens on... I had better positioned runners in other photos but focus was all wrong

Both lovely images Ross, especially #1.as it conjures up an image of an open fire with wood crackling and a warm glow..

The feller with the logs is great, I might have tried cropping for less sky for more emphasis on the person.?

No, I think the grey sky gives meaning to his actions - a story nicely knitted together pictorially

Thank you, that's a nice image to conjure
I just thought the picture and his actions has more scale with more above and in front of him. But I like getting others' perspectives
How did I miss that?! Maybe it's a portal to me taking better photos?!
Thanks Helen !
