From my niece, Abbey

Hi! This is my surfing mouse isn't she cute.

Ducati Monster

Awesome bike and yes, I know, not a great photo with a solar eclipse for back-lighting, I had to work this shot to retain detail.

Some additional post-production, over and above the healthy norm, may or may not have occurred in the making; I'm not saying.

And another lens

A few test shots from my new Pentax 50-200mm zoom lens. I was mostly checking out the bokeh effect at longer focal lengths/open aperture on close-up subjects.

Playing with my new lens

Here are a few test shots using my new Pentax 17-70mm zoom. A superb lens, aside from me having a few camera-in-hand balance issues using it - the lens is weighty, shifting the centre of balance noticeably away from the camera body. Flowers make great testing subject matter!
