Ordinarily I wouldn't aim this lens toward the sun but that's the objective today. Because I had it stopped down to f22 for some shots I found out just how much dust is in this lens. There are built in filters and I used the orange one for this shot.

This is one out of my wife's collection of smiling pig salt and pepper shakers. The image is a good 75mm square. HMM! Thanks to anyone that stops to view, fave and comment in this image.

I sat on my back porch watching a humming bird contend with a yellow jacket. It occurred to me that this was like me being confronted with a timber wolf wielding a poisonous sword.

The SD Quattro cameras have quite a few aspect ratios to choose from. Basically crops of the standard 3:2 frame. I had never tried the 21:9 option until today. Since I am working on getting into large format film photography, I thought this might be a viable way to get used to this view in the off chance I find a way to acquire a 6x17 pano camera.
