Good choice for travel with the 40, T-T. The pancakes are travel friendly, of course.
As to focus, there's no shame in focussing manually all of the time. Moving in and out from the subject with the whole camera is just one part of that experience, and one which I do often, especially for subjects that are close to the minimum focussing distance (of 16 inches in the old language, in the case of this lens).

Lucky for you to see rhodies in sunlight! Re No 4 - there's a clown in every circus T-T, and the bee is it here.
Interesting lens the 40 - I have it too. I think No 3 shows it off best -you've managed to isolate the subject better here, I think. The lens certainly has good IQ and rendering. The Av aspect you seem to have down pat.

For me, the last one's got it. Nicely shot. Is that a caravan park in the middle distance? Looks somewhat crowded!

It certainly works better for me - well processed IMO.

Bob,
Perhaps more engaging, because it is less dramatic? The natural feel of these images accounts for much.

Yes - better, methinks.

Spot-on focus Don - and the bands really are blue too! Are these native to FNQ, or are you elsewhere presently?

Kris, coincidentally there's a small (and declining) wheat town in Victoria with the same name. Substitute Holden or Ford ads for the Oldsmobile sign, and you're there - silos, railway, the works...
It resonates with me, as I used to work in the NW of Victoria.

Ditto - Gareth, perhaps due to the lines drawn by the ladies direction of travel? It drags the eye into the picture towards the dome and the metal roof trusses. Just my guess...

Is "that" allowed?
I imagine a few gins being spat out in the club house.
Nice pic.
Either that, or few additional ones being downed hastily!
Magic indeed Hyram - some kind of submerged aerofoil at work? Glad you caught it.
