I probably should have gone back into to work today, there are six classes left (including one at 9.00am), there are course outlines to complete (ten, or thereabouts, I think) by the end of the week...
But the sun hit the room at just a nice time and tomorrow snow is forecast so I thought I should balance things out...
That left a bit of an issue with test-driving the new camera. What does it say about one's life that it has taken just on a week to get the new toy up and running (indeed, finishing off the paperwork for the cashback offer -- including free lens adapter -- took longer than buying the camera itself; they make us work hard for the money, indeed).
I needed lunch (at 4.00pm, as you do) so it warranted a trip to the curry restaurant while contemplating where to shoot, as it were...
Turned out, I didn't have to go too far...

With light fading fast, the local station pigeons offered a good starting point.
I've stepped into the world of the mirrorless camera, a Canon M5. Now the purists will say, nah, not a Canon--but as a long time Canon user and with an adapter than can handle all my lenses, well, I'm happy with that. Took me a while to shift from film to digital too, I take my time with some things.
And as long as I get to capture a moment or two from each day, then it should do me.
