Yes, here in Tokyo too. But also so many caterpillars. My herbs are being eaten overnight

A recess from the writing-up to make a snapshot of the "Three Musketeers" -- these three are involved in > 90% of the images this year. The new 105/2.8 MC Micro-Nikkor entered the scene too late to impact the statistics significantly, besides it is (for me) only useful outdoors.

From left to right, Laowa 25mm f/2.8, Olympus-OM 38mm f/2.8, and the AFD Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8. The first two are equipped with Laowa LED ring light and have been CPU-enabled, all of which is very practical. I normally use these lenses with a Z7 to cover magnifications up to 5X. For bigger magnifications, there are the Mitutoyo 10X and 20X objectives, or a low-powered microscope. Overviews of plant habit are conducted with either the 105 MC or the old yet still surprisingly versatile AF 70-180 Zoom-Micro-Nikkor.

Possibly from the inside of the barrel with poor anti-reflection/ghost means: the edges of the lenses are not painted in black, and their retaining rings are painted in glossy black!

Greetings to all NG folks from Cres, Croatia.

The light in this photo is very appealing to me. I'd crop some of the foreground to bring the focus more on the street and shops running the width of the photo.

My 2 cents.

Park life.

It took me several goes to work out what I think this is (dying water lilly leaf?)
The slopes, pools of water and jewels added by your reflex cat all combine wonderfully Snoogly

Inspiring. To see a compelling photograph in such an unlikely subject!

Thank you :-)

The other people in the park thought I was a lunatic!

From my new home to this place is a 2 min walk. Not too shabby
