Dogman thanks for sharing your story!

Sweat just soaks your clothes and skin, stays there feeling clammy and making you damp and smelling like the south end of a north bound goat.

Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 has its own perspective of things

The perspective obvious has a helping hand by Fons

I visited the maintenance shed for our old narrow-gauge railway to see how the old locomotives fared in IR. This is 'Setskogen' steam loco that rolled off the construction line back in 1909 (!) and still is fully functional. Guess factories back then understood the concept of build and quality control

It was pretty dark outside and even darker inside the shed, so I had to up the ISO to 6400 to allow reasonable shutter speeds with my trustworthy Nikkor 20mm f/3.5 UD on the Z5. The lens might not be the very sharpest 20mm in existence, but is superb for IR work. No IR hot spot and a smooth rendition overall.

Yesterday we had the end of the year show. (I remember the NG meeting in Granada attending that year  ) So, yesterday was at the Gran Teatro Falla, in Cádiz. Here, an amazing ballet teacher from Cuba, part of the human team at the conservatory.

Apricot sky

Sundown at holiday location just missed the fiery red ball sinking but held the apricot skies in the aftermath.

Great processing, Paco. It has a vintage feel that suits the subject.

Those tourist-boats cross with such a high speed over the canals, giving only a glimpse of Brugge

Nice picture by the way
