Day 234: ...in the lack of focus.
It's been rather damp today. That's good. A bit of soaking rain with a few days still to come. It's good for me, and the blog too, because the loris always come and shelter on the veranda. And where there are loris...there's always a camera...and where there's a camera, you'll find psephyspix...
On a technical point, the low light means a slow shutter speed and that means I should also get out the tripod. But sometimes I don't. So the pics can look 'arty' or 'unfocussed', depending on your preferences. I think this one is actually the best of the morning's efforts...I'm going all abstract impressionism here...

A little later, when they continued on with their antics, I attached the tripod. It does make a difference.

| Aahhh... (1/15, f5.6, ISO200, 11.32; no tripod, no editing) |

| Sharp feathers there chaps (1/50, f5.6, ISO200, 12.20pm, with tripod) |
The bub lori, who has made an appearance before, performed a perfect head roll for the audience...
 |
| Ah, there... (1/25, f5.6, ISO200, 12.22pm) |
 |
| ...and there... (1/25, f5.6, ISO200, 12.22pm) |
 |
| ...aaannnd, there... (1/25, f5.6, ISO200, 12.22pm) |
 |
| Thanks Ma! (1/25, f5.6, ISO200, 12.22pm) |
The lesson for today though is that, even when a day at work can fuzz your brain, or painful reminders of medical conditions abound, there's always something to be found through the haze, when you find the focus.
End of lesson. Bring on the weekend.
