All images are shot with Sigma 90mm/2.8 Contemporary, a small, light lens that works very well with the CL.

Continuation

Hidden skateboard park which found itself in the mall. Kids took much fun learning it with happy parents around. 😊

Jonathan, the last pictures are in very challenging lighting..  The last one would benefit from a boost of exposure in the shadows. Very interesting. Where?

Thank you David for the suggestion. I tend to follow my "feelings" when editing a photo, more than the histogram. 

The mall's name is called 1 Utama situated in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.

First day out on the Covid recovery road. A little lightheaded and hands still a little shaky. 5mph on my scooter feels like 90mph on a go cart..

Female Emperor Dragonfly – Swaddywell Nature Reserve near Peterborough UK, 7 Sept. 2023.   A very hot day and had no intention of photographing dragonflies - but sat by the pond in the cool of early evening and this specimen was hawking back and forth – so tried a few pix using 'burst mode' when the specimen was 'hovering'.    Leica CL / Sigma 105mm Macro L-mount.

A friend has advised this specimen is more likely a Male Southern Hawker. I assumed it was an Emperor because it's displaying a 'drooping abdomen in flight'  – an Emperor characteristic. Now tend to agree with my friend who is very 'odonata knowledgeable'. My colour blindness is also a factor.

I'm advised by botanist Sarah Lambert that this Bush Cricket specimen is a Female Long-Winged Conehead – once so rare in the UK it was on the Red Data List – but it is now re-established mainly in the Midlands and spreading south. Photographed at Swaddywell Nature Reserve near Peterborough UK, 8 September 2023  – one of the hottest days of the year. A devil of a job to photograph in the long grasses; each time I crawled on the ground to compose the side view image, the specimen moved behind its perch – and when I thought I'd composed a better image, it suddenly jumped away. 

Leica CL / Sigma 105mm Macro L-mount; handheld.
