It's my birthday! This is a camera I'm borrowing to test. It does shoot raw but I couldn't be bothered.

Testing out a camera I got my sister for her birthday. I'll be trying it a lot over the coming weeks to make sure It's okay.

New lens! I got this today and it works well. It's an old Soviet M-42 lens adapted. It's known for swirly Bokeh, which you can see slightly. The crop sensor kind of hides it. It'd be more visible with a speedbooster of some kind.

I didn't feel great yesterday so didn't upload this. I'll still upload today as well later. I wanted to try some interesting framing but decided a minute before the train arrived lol. Could've been better. Used continuous shutter.

I tried some street photography today (this isn't that), and I'm going to be honest, I hated it. It felt weird, scary, and I didn't like any of the results. Further from that, I don't even think the results would've been good if the photos had worked out. Anyway, a funny note is that the photos taken before and after this one document the passengers noticing me, laughing, making gestures, then hiding. I didn't notice it at the time lol.

Needed a break outside after editing all the trichromes. He joined me and was more still than usual so I took the opportunity.

I wanted to try some stuff with this lens today while I was outside, but the camera battery ran out lol. So here's one of the photos I got just before.
