<p>I went out to shoot some macro in a local out of the way wooded area and instead found a young photographer and friend of his pulling up at the same time. We talked photography and cameras a while (including his hacked Canon DSLR) before they invited me to go shoot with them. All I had on me was the little Tessar lensed Yashica ML Macro 55/4 mounted on my NEX 7/speedbooster combo (I was there to shoot bugs after all). I just had to make do with what I had.</p>

David, really like the shots but especially the first one.

<p>Nice bird pics Randy, and David, nice "making do" with what you had - I'll take up the rear and vote for your third shot. :)</p>

<p>Mine this week are more from the very capable Vectis S-1, this time wandering around Iowa City, taking in the artwork.</p><div></div>

<p>Another art bas-relief, this one titled "Family Bed" if I recall right...</p>

<p>I like the varied pictures we get from such a diverse range of cameras under the 'Sony/Minolta' label - an excellent crop this week.</p>

<p>First off, here's a close up of the basic workings of a 25-pounder field gun, at the National War Museum of Scotland, in Edinburgh (NEX-7 and Sigma E 30mm f/2.8)</p>

<p><a title="25 pounder field gun / detail 2 by FlickrDelusions, on Flickr" href=" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2825/9097337216_6cd7da5320_c.jpg" alt="25 pounder field gun / detail 2" width="800" height="664" /></a></p>

<p> Then two pictures taken with a Minolta XE-1, MD Rokkor 50mm f/1.4, and Kodak Gold Ultra 400 dated Oct-1997, rated at ISO 200, and developed in Ilford Microphen</p>
