   Further things I learned in photography today: ducks, like humans, are very skittish when they have a black barrel pointed at them. They don't quite panic, but they do swim the other way. Also, dragonflies are really quick.

     Funny when reviewing the photos of the nature walk around my flat to find so many shots of out-of-focus dragonflies with the focus-point marking just behind it... The subject tracking of the autofocus system was able to keep up with them though, but I often was to late to start the tracking.

     There's a really good shot of a bee, but since Mastodon doesn't respect content warnings and shows images anyway, I best not post it here. Maybe I'll do Pixelfed and Instagram, guess that'll work better.

     :frown:

     Posting on Instagram and Pixelfed both failed, in different ways. Instagram flatly refuses, Pixelfed corrupts the photoset. Maybe trying a single picture?

     Ok, single picture on Pixelfed worked, can't post the set I wanted. Instagram finally succeeded when I copied the photos to my tablet first. So if you want to see some other pictures of my walkabout, here's the insta link: instagram.com/p/C-GmSPHo8Tn/ , or maybe wait until I start a photo blog or something.
