Everything will be okay.
Social distancing has actually made my neighbourhood feel a little more… neighbourly.
Taken during a walk this evening.
Stay safe everyone.

I’ll leave it to you to decide if you’d be happy with this level of central performance + bokeh.
I really like it.
A few of you have purchased the identity of Magical Mystery Lens from my site — thank you. For those of you who are tempted to, I’ll let you know that until 11:59 PM tonight (Eastern Standard Time), this lens is on sale at one major retailer.

The Light’s Coming Back (1, 2, and 3).
The light’s finally coming back, at least in the Northern Hemisphere. Amidst the calamity of Covid-19, it’s nice to be reminded that all dark periods eventually end.
I took the opportunity this morning to step out of my house for the first time in 14 days, after a period of self-isolation, and went for a walk. How wonderful it was to do that! Later — this evening — I snapped a few shots around my house just to take advantage of how beautifully the shift in the light painted everything.
Here’s to more light, and a safe journey ahead… for all of us.

Memory Lane.
My wife was tidying the file cabinet this evening, and she came across a folder with some interesting contents in it — contents that I had long forgotten about.
Specifically, there were some receipts and warranty cards from Nikon, from 2004. Your see, in that year, I bought my very first digital DSLR, the Nikon D70 along, with its kit lens, the 18-70mm. That started a crazy journey for me that I’m still on, and — interestingly — the path has recently wound its way back to Nikon. Through it all, I never sold my beloved D70 and 18-70mm combo.
They are, in fact, the only pieces of photographic gear that I’ve never sold.

Saturday.
Yes, this is from the test roll I mentioned in yesterday’s post.
First time I’ve used the Nikon FM2N (+ 50mm 1/1.8)).
I like this camera, and the lens.
