June 10 2023. Cornfield in UV. Kolari Vision modified full spectrum Pentax K-1 with Asahi Optical Super Takumar 35mm. Hoya U-360 (2mm thick) and Schott S8612 (2mm thick) filter stack. ISO 6400, F4.5 @ 1/60. According to the Weather Channel this is a class 10 UV day. Even then, in full sunlight, it takes ISO 6400 for decent aperture handheld.UV light accentuates haze.

I didn't get much worth a darn today. Most of my images looked muddy with weird color, so converting to monochrome helped most of them some. Here's today's catch.

I'm kind of upset tonight. I found a fairly decent size scratch on the barrel of one of my lenses that I don't think was there earlier today, and I can't figure out how it got there. It's just cosmetic, but given how much I baby my stuff and how hard I try to keep everything nice, it really twists my noodle. I've ordered a paint pen that should cover the damage easily, but the mystery remains... how long has it been there and where did it come from?
Oh well... on with today's photos.

Thanks barondla!
It was a photo heavy day today. I took probably 40 photos in total, keeping 19. A dozen or so were shot in the backyard of the wife's arrangement of petunias in the sunlight, and the remainder were shot on the daily walkabout where I had a "getting to know you again" session with my telephoto lens. Here's today's catch.

June 13 2023. Wild discovery today. Using Kolari Vision full spectrum modified Pentax K-1 with Pentax SMC-A 15mm and internal 056 orange filter. This gives IR with wild color. Didn't realize IR could be taken without a bonafide IR filter. On other lenses I usually use Hoya R72. The 15mm doesn't take external filters. No telling what I can get with color channel mixing. ISO 100, F8, 1/40.
Thanks for looking,

Another excellent and interesting image, barondla!
I shot 26 photos today, tossed 12 and kept 14. One of my objectives for this month is to shoot less and keep more. Not sure I'm succeeding, but I was pretty happy with today's keepers.
Here's a couple for this daily challenge.

Thanks @JCDoss. The bright red cherry compliments the green foliage nicely. Your image definitely grabs viewers. Well done.

I made a couple of trips today, each time with a different camera/lens combo. Here's today's catch.

Posting a day late. Here's the day's catch.

I had a fairly frustrating day with my macro lens trying to get a clean shot of some blue flowers at 1:1. I failed to get a shot due to wind, camera shake, both, or just plain bad manual focus. I find I often struggle using this lens. The shallow depth of field at f2.8 makes finding the plane of focus difficult when magnification gets high.
Anyway, here's today's catch.

The day didn't allow for much photography or "me time" in general, so here's the best I could muster, taken in the parking garage where we picked up our rental car.

Shake Reduction did a bang-up job keeping this in shape.
@JCDoss I like the graphic layout of Platz.Well planned simple and powerful composition.

Catching up from June 20 2023.
Pentax K-1, Pentax 77LTD. with Kolari hot mirror filter. ISO 400, F1.8 @ 1/100. Also used a Kenko 25 extension tube to focus this close.

Nice shots, barondla. I like the leading lines in the grappler composition.
I'm travelling for the next week and a half, visiting relatives in the US. I didn't get to use my Pentax gear on the 19th, but I did get a cell phone shot in O'Hare airport.
I got some time to import and edit a few shots from the 20th while visiting with relatives, which consists so far of a lot of board gaming using hand-painted miniatures like these.
