Saturday night was cruise night. Or evening. It ran well into the night anyway. Had a blast

... looks like it was a sweet Summer evening at the corner of Hesse & Hobson Streets in Queenscliff, VIC, Australia! So jealous of your current weather (we're having the upside-down-world version now -- cold/rain/sleet)! Cheers. :)
Yes, it was a gorgeous evening. Weather/temperature was perfect. At a guess I'd say around 26°C, no wind, just beautiful. 250201s-P1025436.jpg

On Saturday evening we went to see a fireworks show to celebrate the Chinese new year. I shot exclusively with the Sigma 24mm f/2 wide open, hand held at 1/4s, which was mostly enough to get shots without camera shake.
I've shot fireworks once (but than with video):

Its incredible how the Lumix camera's can film this without noise (if you know what to do, link starts at the beginning of the fireworks):

I think I had noise reduction at +3 or +4 and reduced the exposure of the shadows in post, both of which will have reduced noise.

I shot this video just in the second base-ISO (4000 ISO), in V-log.

So, I felt kinda bad about posting non-L pics in January's thread, so I went back and was able to find Sigma fp shots from the same locations...

Sigma fp, Minolta MD 35-70/3.5 Macro - this one is in the running for my favorite lens of all time, not just 2024.

...and even a little identifier if you want to look it up! (https://maps.app.goo.gl/DZmmCpwmpmsDBtW76)

Looking the other way.

And the MD 24-50/4, another nice one though not quite as versatile as the 35-70.

Finally, from a trip a couple of weeks later:

Sigma fp, back to the MD 35-70; this was documenting the dried lake bed at https://maps.app.goo.gl/q2bsfyRTQGomKQDz8 (thankfully, it's filled back up some since then.)
