🚶‍♂️ Autofocus is nice—until it’s not.
Street photography waits for no one, which is why zone focusing still rules the pavement.

80mm on a #film #slr is one thing, but it becomes an actual telephoto on the #fujifilm #xt5 due to the crop sensor.

Over the years, I've developed a feel for what distance is best for a given lens to frame things like I want. Moving this lens from film to crop sensor, I really have to re-learn / rethink.. On film, this picture would have had the whole truck in the frame...

There are monsters around! With my luck re pests in my plant nursery this year (still fighting the fungus gnats infestation with SP nematodes, sea algae soaks, fans, UV "mosquito lamp" and lots and lots of sticky tape) this #CraneFly is most likely one of the #Tipulidae that are considered pests in Europe (is it Tipula paludosa?) as their larvae attack seedling roots and stems. Which is exactly what fungus gnat larvae were doing already so... [insert random profanities].

About photos, pardon the odd colours as this crane fly thought to rest under my full-spectrum LEDs on a chili plant and it's being illuminated by, well, all colours of the rainbow really.
