Anyone uses a #Kindle on here? I thought getting a Paperwhite one would be great because I could read it in lowlight situations, but I find the backlit nature of it really hurting in terms of contrast between the backlight and dim environments.
Can I check if there's a Kindle with a build in front light nowadays? When I got the Paperwhite, that was the only one with a night light.
Many thanks in advance!!!

Decided to bring out the Minolta X-700 to see what it could do with some wildlife shooting with the Minolta 75-200 mm f/4.5 mounted.
It turned out to be quite the fun experience!

I managed to get hold of one of Marks and Spencers Strawberries and Cream sandwiches earlier today and all I could this about is this...
Sorry, but not sorry lol.

@Ellen I don't have any auto translate on my Mastodon so I have to manually copy and paste over into Google Translate... Or just learn a new language lol.
That's so cool that they're happy to receive cuddles on demand. Reminds me of when I went to Athens - cats everywhere!!!
I started looking through the film I got back from Analogue Wonderland and here's my first usable shot St Paul's Cathedral in the heart of London basked in a subtle golden glow of sunset.

@AverageS That rendered so nicely!!! I currently have a Sony Xperia 1 VI but am thinking of moving to a Samsung or an iPhone soon as I don't really like the video capabilities of my phone.
Ohh lovely shot of the cathedral tower!!! Dropping you a follow as want to see more!!!
I love the moody clouds in that shot too. Really adds to a sense of the cathedral towering and a kind of foreboding.
There's absolutely no good reason in terms of #Instagram's algorithm for posting this video apart from just watching the adorable cuteness of a #LondonSquirrel, so go watch and take in the adorableness!

@Ellen Oh wow, I thought it was just your own cat. Serves me right for not translating the caption!!! Where were you to get a random friendly feline?

Ohhh... Got my first roll of film back in what must be something like over a year!!!
I'm pretty sure I mucked up the exposure on quite a few shots as I took my Leica M3 out to play and had no lightmeter. I'd be happy with at least one usable shot.
Let's see what I have...

@simon_diamond I was only using the 12-40 mm for these shots, so you get an idea of how close the squirrel came. I need the 300 mm f/4 Pro lol. Or that full frame adaptation in the 150-300 mm.
@simon_diamond Thanks. But it was more a test for me to see how good the OM-1 Mark II would be at shooting wildlife. It was... Actually quite impressive.
A test which ended up with shots I really like lol.
