Curious how does that combination work together, the bread, ketchup, and what looks like whip cream?One of my best bird shots ever was right from where I am having scones and coffee.
Not ketchup it is papaya jam with clotted cream and scones. Almost bought a jar for home.
Papaya is very red

Skybury Papaya Jam
Taking our imperfect fruit and making it perfect. A sweet success, with papaya containing natural pectin there are no setting agents required, we simply add a little sugar for preserving and a little lime to enhance the papaya’s natural flavours.

Clotted cream!!! Delicious stuff. I’ve seen it for sale over here a few times but you need to hunt for it. It’s worth trying but probably not regularly if you like your arteries.

Thanks though unfortunately I am lactose sensitive. But I never really was a fan of creamy cheeses like cottage cheese and the likes.
Interesting combo all around.
A few more from my trip to Washington State, last October.
The Freemont Troll. Yes, that's a VW Bug under its left hand.
A couple from Fort Flagler, on Marrowstone Island. This (and Fort Warden) is where, back in 2007, some of my friends shot "The Gamers: Dorkness Rising", at least in part. Some other films have been shot there, though I can't specifically remember what one of the park officials told me at the time. "An Officer and a Gentleman" was shot at Fort Warden, across the bay.
And one from Chaldea Studios where the web series "Chaldea" and many of the streaming shows put on by Zombie Orpheus Entertainment are staged.
Really more just snapshots, but good memories

Nice.
I got my OM-1. Then, during the firmware update I temporarily bricked it. After a frantic web search I found the Olympus/OM systems service method to restore the firmware (which they don’t advertise forcing purchasers to send off their camera to OM systems). All good now. Nice camera, way better menu system but different to what I’m used to. No iAuto camera setting but that’s been rolled into the P setting I think. So many customization options it’s going to take a bit to set up.
By the way, not sure when you last looked up the firmware for your 100-400mm lens but there’s an update to that that improves manual focusing.
I checked for updates about 2 weeks ago, so presumably I've already got it. Thanks. There used to be a website that recommended the best default settings for various Oly gear but, for the life of me, I can't remember the author's name it wasn't Wong or Forsgard, though both of them are quite good too.
Wong is no longer an OM ambassador and is currently on a bit of a rampage against OM systems. Forsgard is good. He is making a bit of cash on the side by selling the customization file (as you can load these onto the OM-1 through the PC software). I found some free ones, I’ll play with a few and see what works. There’s new customizable buttons on the front of the camera that are convenient for finger placement that people use.
There's another Asian guy shooting in the UK who is pretty good, but I can't remember his name at the moment. I'll edit this post if I do.
Forsgard has a Facebook page. in addition to Youtube.
Found an Epson supertank wide format printer that uses refillable ink from bottles that is way more economical than the cartridge printers and also will survive lower usage rates without gumming up. It’s an all in one and has a usable scanner and a seperate ink for text so it will also do office work. It’s just under their pro series and Epson sells an official refurbished version to save a fair chunk of change. I think I’ll give it a try as it’s economically viable for anything bigger than 4x6. It will also print on thick board stock as it has a straight path rear feed. Lots of different media can be used so it’s pretty versatile. I figure if I get the technique down I can also print things out for neighbours/friends etc to help cover some of the cost.
You can paper the house in action motorcycle photos you take...and the travels.
We have a couple prints of our photos
But can't justify a printer with 20k of photos running on multiple screens.
We use a commercial guy that does print and the shadow frames cost effectively. For small spaces on our ever dimishing wall space ...our prints are useful.

I get that. I’m not super artistic but I want to see if I can do this because I want the whole process to be under my control. Taking the photo and printing it out and hanging it on a wall. I think it may be because I used to develop my own black and white film prints and loved that process.
I only have two prints of my own shots on my walls at home. One is a B&W shot of my niece, when she was only a few months old, laying on top of a huge teddy bear. The other is this shot that I took at the McMichael Gallery.
I do have a picture that I shot of a race podium, with the 3 top finishers in the RACE 125GP class, that they signed and sent to me years back. I might eventually have to put that one up too
I’m going to slowly replace the generic art on the walls in the house because I found myself wondering why I had it up? I didn’t really have a connection to any of it. I think I’m getting old and overly sensitive.
