No, it’s NOT a selfie! It’s a close-up of a friendly cow’s nose, to demonstrate the sharpness of the focus on the Fujifilm X-T30 / Sigma 135mm Prime Lens. (Nikon fit – MF). Focus peaking is the method!

Lens Flare. I’d gone for a walk along Tullygarvan Road with a 135mm Sigma (Nikon fit) MF lens on the Fujifilm X-T30, and I focussed along the road, to where this couple were walking away from my position, but the strong sunlight falling across the lens created a rainbow effect. No Photoshop needed! Should I have rejected the image?

I love textures, and there’s plenty of texture in this old rusty barbed wire and the metal gate bar that it’s wrapped around.

Back to photographing weeds. It’s how you know that you’re bored.

So, I made this image of a rusty caravan in 2010. I’m including it in my Lockdown Log, because during the Lockdown I’ve been looking back through some old images, tidying up the storage space and remembering past days.

I hate windmills. This one at the Ballyknockan Road, between Ballygowan and Saintfield – well, almost.

High Street, Comber is a traffic jam through the day, well, at least since they changed the sequence of the traffic lights at The Square. So, rarely do you see a clear view of this historic building – at least from a decent angle, so today, on my way hastily back home to resume my lockdown after some pasoral emergency, I paused, and avoided the police long enough to capture this rare scene…

Macro Day! This is a common garden daisy – a weed, just around a centemetre across, but viewed thrugh the Macro 200mm Nikon MF lens, with focus peaking on the Fujifilm X-T30, it looks like a cultivated gem!

I found this bucket tied to a tree! At one time it has been a much-loved bucket, probaby bought in a garden centre or gift shop, for it’s no ordinary bucket! I had a Nikon 300mm lens on the Fujifilm X-T30, with manual focus, and focus peaking. The colours coutesy of Classic Chrome film simulation.

We’re allowed one single walk / exercise period a day. I take a camera, so at least the wlk can be just a little bit creative!
