One of many photos I took with this lens during July.
I think it doesn't hurt to have it in writing I wouldn't have voted for my own anyway, it isn't the best. Sadly, I processed one I liked better since I posted the other one. Ah well.
I love trees, and this one just has a lot of character. I wonder if it was abused, or if it just had a rough life.

Of what I can post here, this was certainly my favorite from last month. The Pen 25 has such an old-school draw, it's fun to use the film filters on the images made with it.
Well according to Lightroom i took a grand total of 17 pictures in July, and half of those were me testing out the X10 modes (i.e. trying to figure out how the hell it works). This is the best i have to offer, a snapshot of Nidarosdomen taken whilst out for a walk with the family. I'll try harder this month
Super thread!
