Tamron 80-210mm film lens is the only zoom lens I have so forcing me to improve manual focusing skills - lot’s of blurry captures but I was happy enough with squirrel sharpness here

Cheers - I am trying to simplify no 2 a little but my skill on Photographic adjustments is quite low.

I’m about as far from an expert as you could ever hope to meet but to my untrained eye, removing the furthest groyne would simplify things :man_shrugging: , perhaps, maybe, stop talking crap.

That is fucking disturbing. Everyone who thinks they’ll sit tight and hope the fire passes them by or even fight it themselves needs to see that!
