Yesterday the atmosphere was very heavy with fog. I had a great time taking photos, even if it was with the 26mm f/8 bodycap lens...

Friend of mine is getting married in May on the Lake Michigan shoreline of Michigan's upper peninsula; he asked me if I could make a video record to show the people who couldn't be there, nothing fancy. This is a test of the Sennheiser MKE 400 he sent me to use with my S5, to see if it would pick up voices over wind noise and look good enough for the family; it isn't any great shakes artistically and the narration sucks, but thought it might be helpful. (This is the first time I've used the S5 for video, and I was pretty impressed how well the C-AF worked with the 20-60.)

OMG Travis, the weather!!! It looks brutal!

The video and sound are great.

Every year the regional city of Parkes hosts a festival to celebrate Elvis Presley. I've never been (not really a fan to be honest) but a special train is put on to take visitors, so of course I went out today to get a photograph. This is the "Elvis Express" passing through Mount Victoria at the top of the Blue Mountains, about 126 kilometres west of Sydney.
