Thanks. I blame Apple. It’s using the iCloud shared album feature. It’s the 
first time I’ve used it, and as far as I can see there’s no way to embed the 
info, or have it number them automatically. Sorry.

Re: Quite a nice place to be dead

[Bob Pdml]

Thanks. This one is maintained by volunteers. They have some before and after 
photos showing how the Friends organisation has transformed it from an 
overgrown condition by clearing brambles etc. which formed a canopy. Now that 
light can get to the floor the flowers can grow. Some cover remains for the 
animals of course.

Highgate Cemetery is much, much bigger than this and correspondingly difficult 
to maintain, I guess. Last time I was there, less than two years ago, it was in 
good condition.

Re: Quite a nice place to be dead

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

That's a lovely set, BobW. There are a few in there that are just superb. 

Minor presentation criticism: There doesn't seem to be a useful way provided to 
identify *which* of the photos I like, short of making a screen grab and 
embedding them into a document. No file name, picture number, or other 
identifying info provided as I flip from one to the next. 

I'm sure this lack is a matter of the presentation software, but it is 
frustrating.

An interesting gallery. At least it's not a complete jungle. Parts of 
Highgate Cemetery which I visited some years ago were virtually 
impenetrable. Our local Muni have been "maintaining" the town environs 
as a nature reserve for some years.

Re: PESO 2021 - 089 - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Thanks, BobW! 

A 1990ish Summilux 35 is close to the end of the 'Lux II model run. I think 
they made them up to about 1995, an amazing lifespan really, as it was first 
delivered in 1967. Such it is with brilliant lenses, they're ageless. I had 
mine coded so that it triggers the lens code reader automatically, makes it 
convenient to use on modern digital M and the other bodies using the Leica 
mount adapter, and it embeds the lens info into the EXIF data properly that 
way. 

About a year and a half ago, I bought a Panasonic GX9 body for similar purposes 
to what you got the GX8 for. I have a good kit still of FourThirds and 
Micro-FourThirds lenses. I had that compact Oly pancake zoom but never really 
liked it, I handed it off with the Oly E-PL7 to my niece a few years back. What 
I use on the GX9 is mostly one of the Olympus Body Cap Lenses (15mm f/8 or 9mm 
f/8 FishEye), which makes it extremely thin and extremely light, or the 
Panasonic/Leica Summilux-DG 25mm f/1.4 ASPH — a truly great, fast normal lens … 
my usual favorite for most cameras. Just like the 'Lux 35/1.4 on the Leica CL 
body is. I also adapt other lenses to it occasionally, usually long telephotos, 
because it does incredibly well with them for hand-held work due to its 
excellent IBIS implementation. 

The GX8/GX9 cameras are good. They're also more complicated than I really 
prefer, but I use mine pretty simply. One of these days I'll read the manual… 
LOL! The Leica CL is much much easier to figure out without touching the 
manual. :)

Fun stuff. I've run out most of the 8 exposures with the Polaroid today, and I 
think I made a couple of good photos in that. It's an easy camera to use and 
love, but the medium is so limited it's a fun challenge to get what I want out 
of it. 

onwards,
G

Re: OT I briefly owned a Leica

Wouldn't even show me the first one. Said it was tagged NSFW.

I told NoScript to temporarily allow "cloudfront.net" and it changed to a 
gallery.

PESO 2021 - 089 - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I had the Leica CL out on my walk yesterday, first time I've carried a digital 
camera in some weeks. As usual, the quality of this body along with the superb 
lens made me smile a lot… And I think I got a few okay photos too. LOL! 

Bird Feeder - Santa Clara 2021 :: https://flic.kr/p/2m7MMjS
  - Leica CL + Leica Summilux 35mm f/1.4 (1972 version)

Shooting with a digital camera again after so long away shooting instant film 
and various formats in traditional film … makes me think again: These modern 
digital cameras are absolute marvels! Such amazing resolution, tonal range, and 
so easy to shoot with, so easy to render and finish the photographs … 

So I quickly loaded another pack of film into the Polaroid this morning for my 
bicycle ride. Important to keep things in perspective, eh? 

enjoy!

Re: PESO 2021 - 089 - GDG

[Bob Pdml]

Always an interesting pleasure to see what you do with this stuff. I have one 
of those S’luxes, from 1990ish. Lovely little lens. 

I agree about digital cameras. Just today I have bought a used Panasonic LUMIX 
GX8 to supplement the slightly larger Oly EM-1 II. It has only 755 shutter 
releases, and was a very good price. My plan is to use it with the Oly pancake 
zoom as a small but tough and decent quality camera for my handlebar bag, when 
I’m back on the bike. I think one of the reviews I read suggested it is rather 
like the film Leica CL.

Quite a nice place to be dead

[Bob Pdml]

…if that’s what you have to be.

I at last had the chance today to visit a cemetery close to where I live. It is 
a closed cemetery, which means they’re no longer taking long-stay residents, 
and it is now maintained as a wildlife reserve. Today was an open day.
