Asahi-Pentax Takumar 55/1.8 on a7Cii

Found in a box in a friend's basement. Rendering pretty nicely after some cleanup I'd say!

Leica 80-200mm F/4 at the dog park - turns out the legends are true

This lens does such crazy work on its own. Shot wide open at 200mm for the most part. Fairly easy to focus even with my shaky hands. Great ergonomics, beautiful colours.

Thought I'd dodge the mosquitos by going while it was raining, that was a poor call. Did you know the medicinal ingredient in After-Bite is just baking soda? TIL.

A few from today's Father's Day stumble

Wife dropped me off with some beer, a 200-600, and took the kid out for the day. She's a gem.

Song sparrow looking perplexed

Who is this strange man aiming his long glass tube at me? Where are his children? Isn't it Father's Day?

Alberta Day of Protest - May 29, 2026

Like many others I took some photos at Riley Park yesterday. Was great to see folks from all walks of life showing up to give reason a voice in these absurd and uncertain times

Still lots to learn in terms of technique, composition and editing. Working with a Sony A7Cii and cheapo Tamron 70-300. Wife has ok'd getting something with longer focal length but I want to suppress the GAS for as long as possible 😅
