We're not sure exactly what the material was. He loves ripping up rope toys, so may have swallowed some fibres; he also grooms for ages after his post-walk wash so maybe he has ingested hair too which has built up over time too. The prognosis is fine but he'll have to be quite restricted in his...

No photo yesterday (day 22). Stanley (the spaniel) started being poorly yet again so we decided to let the vets give him the full battery of tests - ultrasound and x-rays. They found a large mass of material in his stomach, which they operated on and removed. (The cost was eye-watering). I've...

Two more from Herefordshire Croft Castle: Dilwyn:

I did the same once in Iceland. Slipped on some ice, found myself horizontal on the rock hard grass but with the camera still held a foot off the ground. It was even on the side that I fell onto. Remarkable really.

Good idea but I'm not a fan of flash on flower photos really. My about to arrive 50-250 will get me close enough for that.

I've returned the Meike 60mm f2.8 macro. It's beautifully built with very smooth focus and aperture rings; but using it as a real macro lens with any depth of field requires f11 or above, making it virtually impossible to use hand held on the non-stabilised Z 50 below ISO 6400. As I can't be...

I've ordered a Nikon DX VR 50-250 to go with the Z 50. Should be here on Tuesday.

Day 20 Veg bed #1 sown (by my other half I should add) An interesting cloudscape

Viburnum about to flower

Mostly recovered from his mysterious infection, Stanley has become a very fussy eater. Good job he's still handsome.

Well, the dreaded neuropathy has been less than feared, so here's a rainbow. A bit of dehaze added to bring out the rainfall.

Welcome from the UK, Deb! Looking forward to seeing your photos.

Round 4 of my chemotherapy tomorrow, and based on the last 3 I'll have horribly tingling fingers ("peripheral neuropathy") for a few days....so I don't know whether I'll be able to even hold the camera comfortably. Any shot I take will be a bonus. Maybe indoors will be possible as keeping warm...

Another horrible weather day, and Stanley the spaniel has been unwell...so here's a safety shot again.

Lovely April weather...thunder, 45mph winds...and hail.

Square crop to remove distractions at the edges, auto geometry, dehaze on the sky, some sharpening on the building. All in LR mobile.

A couple of outtakes from day 13. A blackbird perched on a post in the neighbour's garden.

We don't know where the sign was, though... You would hope it was at least a cathedral!

Sorry, late posting.. Yesterday was very busy, helping my son set up his new website. This 7Artisans lens can be a bit frustrating, but when it's right, it's very right.

A refurb Google Pixel 6 Pro to replace my Samsung S20, and a Samsung Tab S6 Lite to replace the Huawei tablet. Lots of setting up to be done (doubled in fact as we did similar with my wife's phone & tablet).

Another baking day. Some lemon & white chocolate muffins, just after being anointed with lemon drizzle. You want one, don't you?

Good to see you again, Bill!

The exact words my then 2-year old son shouted, to general hilarity, when we went to see the 'Mogar the Monster' show at Land's End, and the doors were slammed shut. Ever since then it's been a legendary phrase in our family!

My current favourite bottled beer

I wasn't sure which one to go with today (day 8). This is a more conventional shot, albeit prettier. I think the one I chose (chitting potatoes) is more interesting.

Things starting to move (slowly) in the potting shed...

One of those days, I'm afraid...

I just had to look that up....and it's a lot more wholesome than I feared!

I'm feeling tons better today. In fact I even baked a cake! Dorset Apple, and it was a bit too big for the plate I used for this shot...

Bit of a safety today, not feeling too great. Curse you, chemo.

We've been to Silves a few times, it's a lovely place. One of the nicest towns in that area.

One of the dog toys relaxing on the stairs. Analog Efex treatment.

Found the answers on DPReview forums. So it is good for something!

I've had the Z 50 for 2 weeks or so now and I think I made the right choice. However it has a couple of quirks that are annoying me and I don't know whether they are down to user error. 1 - I have energy saving disabled, but the screen and viewfinder both go dim after about 2 or 3 seconds...

An owl amongst the chives.

Trying some in camera profiles. Sadly I can't remember which one this was, or how to find out from the camera. Shouldn't it have an option to show the profile being used? I'll continue this topic elsewhere, but here are some plant pots with a very thin DOF.

Corfu, looking towards Albania

Skopelos

A frosty morning last December. Away from / towards the rising sun.

Here Here you go, Matt.

I'm changing my lens choice, and going with the 7Artisans 35mm/1.4 II (I'm not keeping the 12-28: nice lens though it is, I don't feel it offers enough new use cases above the 16-50).
