Yesterday and today, it has been as hot and humid as in high summer here in Tokyo.

This Godox pro seems to be a good one as off camera flash.

Many thanks for the link Fons - love to learn more in off-camera flash

Dead End. A road that just ends blindly into a wheat field. Seemingly serves no purpose at all. Correction: it provides an enigmatic motif (?)

White flowers in b&W
x-t3 56mm f1.4@ f 2.0

This approach really brings out the structure of the petals Armando - nice result.

Shooting birds in flight just got a lot easier.
  Z9, 300mm 2.8 vrII

I rented an earlier cousin of this lens a few years ago, having had great success with the lighter f4 version
The subjects (Red kites, only 50m away, swooping low & moving quite fast) proved impossible for me to track with the extra weight & bulk.

If I'd had a week or so to practice, things might have been different

 It is a heavy lens but not impossible by any means. For shows I do use a tripod with gimbal thou
