Sorry folks but as my port with A seems to have slipped into oblivion I am uploading my latest complete submission here to see if it will jog my port up a bit.🥴

Here are some from my latest batch of images, mostly taken using a new Fujifilm X-T5. Overall I'm really pleased with the new camera, which is an upgrade to my X-T2. It has a few niggles though, the biggest, for me, being that its not that compatible with some of the older X-Series lenses. It certainly has a problem with my XF60mm Macro, one of my favourite lenses and used to take a few of the pics here. It seems to occasionally freeze/blank the EVF and doesn't work at all with my Godox Flash Trigger in TTL mode. That aside the X-T5 works well with my XF 50-140 lens, I've yet to try any of my other lenses. They'll being getting a good workout later in the month.

This was growing in a neighbours garden, I've yet to research it as I've no idea what it is. It seems to be fairly common though..

Well my little strategy of boosting my port seems to have, sort of, worked. I had a ZOOM come in today.

Whenever I have shoots that take me to an upper floor or rooftop of a building, I always see if there is a good view something of worthwhile to shoot.  This is Bethesda, Maryland, I grew up here, back when there were no tall buildings to go up on.

Steve, you have a talent for composition & staging of your images. They always look very professional & carefully handled.

shot Juy 4th, just uploaded...
though I misjudged 2023 fireworks shoot by
setting up too close to action, even after backing
up to get more people in front of me -- miraculously
one image of 20+ did end up a keeper, all the
others being full of blown highlight explosions;
IMO this will license:
