Bud Burst

Both on the same tree, so presumably the same bud at different stages of bursting. Taken during the daily dog-walk, of course. K3 + FA77 @ f2.

Thoughts, comments, type of tree etc. welcome as always.

It's a sycamore. Those outside the door are bursting too. This was on my walk. Curious that we both seized upon the same subject at the same time!
You probably walked farther than me, not having to carry a heavy K1 and that lens and a tripod




Meyer Optik f4 300mm.

Thanks for the identification. It's a conspicuous tree - shows how much I keep my eyes open most of the time!

The dog and I walk about 2 miles in decent weather. She's slowing down with age (13+) but still seems to be happy with the distance. The lens is chosen with the distance and weather in mind, and there's always the Q's for a really light weight walk. I definitely don't fancy doing it with your K1, 300mm and tripod - although with that lot you're certainly getting some exercise! However, I'm wondering about taking a monopod to keep people to a safe distance...

Once the tripod is set up people clearly see it (and you) as something to be avoided anyway and, as long as you haven't hogged the path, they give you a very wide berth.
