June 20th POTW

<p>From the Tuesday Farmer's Market in downtown Monterey, CA. </p><div></div>

<p>One more</p><div></div>

<p>Last one</p><div></div>

<p>Two animla(ish) images from today. First, footprints of hare on a sand dune.</p><div></div>

<p>Gabby, captured with the E5, 12-60 and FL50R flash..</p>

<p>Three horses.</p><div></div>

<p>Lunch Time for everyone.</p><div></div>

<p>The luck of the Irish!</p><div></div>

<p>Trying out a just arrived Lambency Flash Diffuser, apparently a copy of the quite expensive Gary Fong Lightsphere.</p><div></div>

<p>The Classic. Via GH2 fitted with Lumix adapter and Zuiko ED 50 mm F 2 lens.. set to manual focus for close work. Has the fitted 'boot,' the Olycap spring cover...</p><div></div>

<p>From my brand new XZ1. So far I really like this camera. </p><div></div>

<p>I've got the C5060 Gerry. I'm going to dig something out of the files shot with it.</p><div></div>

<p>GH2, Nikkor-Q 200/4.0, hand-held.</p><div></div>

<p>Some disperate shots this week. A friend of ours is building a billy cart from scratch and has asked me to take photo's of each stage. I have also been shooting on the beach front in the late afternoon.</p><div></div>

<p>some from the beach...</p><div></div>

<p>One more...</p><div></div>

<p>A.p. gubernator- Red winged Blackbird</p><div></div>

<p>ducks</p><div></div>

<p>last pic</p><div></div>

<p>It has rained for what seems like three months straight. Finally some sun!<br>

E-P2, Nikon 10-24mm lens @ 10</p>

<p>Yet another flower shot...</p><div></div>

<p>Goodbye to the protective filters.. at least to the cheap ones..<br /> E 510+ MD 135mm f2.8 + 2xTC (without UV filter)</p><div></div>

<p>Don't think I've had a filter on a lens (other than ND) for at least 2 maybe 3 years now... Useless things they are.</p>

<p>I use my Nikon 52mm filters on my Panasonics because I don't like to use a lens cap. I have a 14mm coming Wednesday, I hope, and I ordered a 46MM TO 52MM step up ring for the same reason. BTW, watch for the price of the 14mm to drop any day now since I ordered one.</p>

<p>Shall we call it "Sanford's Law" now? hehe</p>

<p>Doesn't help that there are two new 12mm primes coming available either. Think I may have to pick up the Zuiko version, so long as it isn't too ridiculously expensive...</p>
