It is not a glowing review of Panasonic 20mm F1.7 🤷‍♂️

My search for a reasonably-good M43 pancake lens continues...

We had about two hours of sunshine in the afternoon today so I took advantage of it and went for a short stroll in the woods with a pocketable large-ish sensor camera in my hand. It's really interesting how fast new beds of mushrooms crop up in spite of cold-ish late autumn weather.

Species info, as usual, in the alt texts / photo descriptions.

Amanita excelsa, also known as the European false blushing amanita

Suillus variegatus, commonly called the velvet bolete or variegated bolete

Lycoperdon perlatum, popularly known as the common puffball, warted puffball, gem-studded puffball or devil's snuff-box

Lactarius rufus, commonly known as the rufous milkcap or red hot milk cap. Shame they're considered inedible due to its acrid taste and even potentially poisonous (causing gastric upset), because they were everywhere, growing at the margins of a pine forest in large clusters under moss and grass. Still pretty though.

There's an incredible diversity in the world of fungi and I just love observing all the different strategies they've developed to not only survive but thrive in the ever-changing world they live in.

Wir sind mit Leuten vom @cccfr auf den #Schauinsland gefahren und haben von oben Bilder von der #Mondfinsternis gemacht. Leider kann man sich heute auch nicht mehr auf den #Mond verlassen und Wolken versteckten ihn.

Hier der erste Schlag, RAW aufgenommen mit #CanonM mit #22m #PancakeLens und mit #LuminarAI nachbearbeitet.

Today's trophy. I just love these cauliflower mushrooms (Sparassis crispa). They have a long season so can be found even when there's not much else around, they're easy to spot, just look at the base of pine trees, and they taste lovely especially with cheesy dishes like... pizza 😋

About the only nag I could possibly have with them is that they're a bit tricky to clean, but do similar you'd do with a real cauliflower, breaking it into individual florets and it'll be a whole lot easier.

Here's another fun fact about these mushrooms: leave their base intact and they'll grow a new head right where you took one home from. Just remember where you found it and collect more in about a month's time. Assuming nothing else gets to it fist, of course. Deer and wild boars also seem to love them.

A single, medium-size cauliflower mushroom growing on deadwood in a pine forest, surrounded by mostly blueberry undergrowth. The fruiting body of the mushroom is roughly spherical, about 30 cm (12 inch) in diameter and weighing about 200 grams (~ 1/2 lbs). The fruiting body is pale beige in colour and looks a lot like, well, a bowl of cooked wide rice noodles.

I had no idea lightnings can also exhibit Doppler effect (blueshift & redshift), do they?

Either case, this photo of a lightning that I took last night shows some lightning arcs shifting in colour slightly to blue (approaching source of light) and red (withdrawing source of light) and they do appear to be consistent with its anatomy. I did consider axial chromatic aberration but that can't be it, the complete lightning is within the same focal plane, so...
¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

If you know anything more on the matter and can either confirm or reject Doppler shift in lightning, please drop me a comment.

Also, FWIW, I did consult the usual AI suspects and all I got was a round of overconfident-cum-condescending Dunning-Kruger-esque responses. So that was about as useful as expected - i.e., not in the slightest.

A night time, long exposure photograph shows a complex lightning hitting an industrial and commercial sector of a city suburb. Silhouettes of tree canopies and residential buildings in the foreground partially obscure, or rather frame the view of it in its entirety but the most part of the lightning in the photograph centre is in clear view. Background is obscured by thick clouds and heavy rain falling behind most of the lightning, but some of its arcs extend through the rain and are subject to various light aberrations, including reflection, blurring, etc.
