Charging Station
Black and white film-look. These days many public places in American cities have charging stations for all those smartphones. Here's a shot of the marking symbol used, shot with an Olympus PEN-F and an adapted OM-System 50mm f2.0 Macro manual-focus lens. The lens has no electrical connection to the camera, and the notation of the lens in the EXIF data is added by a manual setting in the camera. Raw development and processing in ON1 Photo RAW 2018.1 (Black & White: Paparazzi).

Keep the Birds Away
Close-up of a chimney cowl, a device used to keep birds and other animals out of chimneys. Shot with the Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm f2.8-3.5 SWD four-thirds mount with mft adapter on an Olympus E-M1MarkII. I picked up a factory-reconditioned copy of this lens for about $300 USD. Wonderful glass. Buttery-smooth bokeh wide open at 50mm, and here wide open at 200mm the bokeh is obviously not as good, but better than the other mft zooms at this focal length I have owned.
