Edit: Actually to be fair to the lens, I need to qualify I am using a #1 cineswirl diffusion filter on this lens for this image. I basically leave this particular filter on this lens at all times to add some light haloing glow along higher contrast edges. (Just so folks don't think the little Viltrox 56/1.7 lightweight sucks )
During our drive last week we spotted a prairie dog colony. I pulled over and was surprised to see that some had there holes very close to the road. To avoid stressing them I stayed on the oppilate side of the car from them and stayed low and they went about there busyness. I was taking photos of them and there natural behavior when a woman parked her car behind ours and then walked right over to me. At the time I was taking a head shot at MFD. The pore little thing began to tremble. I explained to her that she was stressing the prairie dog and she looked embarrassed as she backed up. I also retreated and the prairie dog went back to it's normal behavior.

I went back another day after my first attempt did not yield the results I wanted. The flower is growing on a mound in Badlands National Park with a multicolored mound behind it. Interestingly, the day after I took this photo, the flowers were gone. Apparently some creature must have had a snack.

Not great weather today but got a chance to test the X-E5 and 70-300 combo a Pease Air show. Not really why I bought this camera but thought what the heck. Airplane AF was OK I'd say. Because of conditions I really got the chance to see how much I could manipulate these files. Fuji is still way behind Sony in AF in my opinion. Unfortunately by the time the Blue Angels took off it started to pour. So had to head for cover.
Were these with electronic shutter? One of those mustangs is not like the other

Yeah, I won't be using imgur anymore to upload the images, they blocked it for UK folks shortly after due to legistlation and compliance with the recent age verification stuff I believe.
