PAINT-A-BOX STREET ART RECENT EXAMPLES IN DUBLIN 1

Today did not go well as something went wrong with my Zeiss Batis 25mm lens. Not long after I went for a walk in the city centre it started to vibrate and at the same time making a grinding noise. The problem could only be resolved by removing the batteries but after about fifteen minutes the cycle would repeat. The camera body was damaged back in 2018 when I had a bad fall, damaging a number of ribs, while photographing in Belfast so I suspect that the body rather than the lens is the problem.

FORGIVE YOUR ENEMIES – NOTHING ANNOYS THEM SO MUCH

According to Oscar Wilde you should “Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.”

Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900) was an Irish poet and playwright. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular playwrights in London in the early 1890s. He is best remembered for his epigrams and plays, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the circumstances of his criminal conviction for gross indecency for consensual homosexual acts in “one of the first celebrity trials”, imprisonment, and early death from meningitis at age 46.

You may need to be a “Derry Girls” fan in order to understand this. In case you don’t know “wee” is little or small or unimportant.

It is set in Derry, Northern Ireland, during The Troubles in the 1990s.The first series was broadcast in January and February 2018 on Channel 4. The second series was shown in March and April 2019. A third series was commissioned for 2020, but postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

RANDOM EXAMPLES OF STREET ART [CANON 1DS Mk3 – SIGMA ART 24-105]

Before Christmas I got the opportunity to purchase an unboxed Sony 24-105G lens but when I visited the dealer he suggested that, as I had a Canon 1DsIII as well as a Sony A7RIV [and a Metabones EF adapter], I should consider getting a Sigma 24-105mm lens. 

After giving the matter some thought I decided to go with the Sigma. For various reasons I was unable to fully test the various combinations until today.
