Anybody been playing Elden Ring here? I've been absolutely addicted to that game for the last couple of months. Incredible gaming experience imo.
_______________

It has been way too dry in my region for several weeks, but this week the rains have returned. We have a nice Mimosa tree behind the house and it looks so sweet drenched in the rain showers.

Mimosa trees are regarded as invasive bad trees here in the Southeastern USA, so eventually we probably need to remove it. But, this tree just looks so lovely that we've not yet had the heart to get rid of it. Hopefully we can decide on a replacement tree and plant it close by and then after the new tree has grown a few years we can take the Mimosa down.

I took this with the 35GM because I continue to wrestle over which 35mm lens to keep (35 GM or Sigma 35 1.2). I've always preferred the Sigma's rendering, but the 35 GM has an unbeatable punch (at the expense of smoother bokeh) and it is so much smaller/lighter. So, I may flip-flop and keep the GM and sell the Sigma.

i bought the game but have not played it yet. never knew mimosa was a tree before, I only knew it as the drink hehe. Recently I got into scented candles and mimosa is popular as a luxury fragrance.

Everytime I look at my old 35 1.4 art pictures, I just fall in love with it again. but the 35gm wins for me for size, weight, bokeh :) you can get the 50gm for your 1.2 fix :P

I tried Elden Ring, but not a fan of that kind of games, I got really frustrated with it and refunded it on Steam. I played Nioh 2 and was a bit the same.
I've been smashing Valheim and this week, V Rising. Amazing games for $24NZ each. Also, Satisfactory is really worth a look too :)

Haha, I absolutely HATE Elden Ring; it’s easily the most rage-inducing game I’ve ever played. But, I am also simultaneously totally in love with it and am amidst my second playthrough.

Your game recommendations are much appreciated…I’ll have a look at those (if available on xbox)!

Sorry to disappoint, I rate the Q2 to be equivalent to the a7r2 with zony 55 1.8 :P

the 28mm on the Q2 is more like a 26mm. the jpg will come up as 28 because of the jpg processing and crop to help with distortion.

the monochrome does indeed look very good. if b/w is all you want, it'll be a good pick up. i also like the color scheme of the monochrome bodies. black body with white and grey. and lack of brand. this comes to mind for me lol. the very end of the video.

there is a member name Kirk in the leica thread that owns the q2 monochrome, i'm sure if you ask him some questions he would be happy to answer.

this is a good video to watch if you have not.

despite me speaking poorly of leica, I do like the cameras and enjoy using them as my personal choice. what I like is the simplistic system and minimalist, and how the image looks. you can say it is a very expensive point and shoot camera because thats how most users would set it to act. I love doing long exposures on leica. I can go as long as 120s exposure without having to use a remote.

I use the q2 as my 2nd for when I need to go wide. it's not a camera that i would use as a main or a edc. but I seen lots of people who only uses it as their main. here's one i Like.

A7rii AF changes things a bit. I’ll have to have a proper think about that. Thanks for all the info!

hahaha, brilliant. Totally drove me mad for the hour I played it. With Steam on PC, you get 2 hours play and you can get a full refund, no questions. Straight refund for me.
The others are PC only I think, but are absolutely fantastic :)

Astro cancelled tonight with too much cloud, so I got bored and grabbed my old Sigma 105mm f2.8 Canon mount macro and messed around in the kitchen.

First one is coffee granules and suger crystals (I've not gone all Breaking Bad!) and the next one is a used coffee pod from my nespresso machine :)

Finally got out today and I was luck enough to see quite a bit of birds. Warbler are pretty common now but I also got a chance to photography some more challenging species which I will post later. Yellow Warbler are still my favourite.
