Had a nice, short walk just now. Made some time to take photos. Ulya is in the middle of her exam period. Two more exams to go, and then we'll get some normalcy back. 🤞

Let's get this out of the way, shall we? No speculating for more interesting subjects or better images later in the day. It will be too hot to move anyway. Completey unwrapped.

Too much to do to go out shooting besides the commute, so the practice wall again. I like the red. Looking forward to a couple of weeks of vacation coming up in August! I need to make some time to work on my photo projects again. 🤞

There's a music festival happening in Rüttenscheid today. We checked out the various stages along Rüttenscheider Straße, and the girls were listening and watching people walk by. I'm not sure why they all have to turn up the volume to a level that almost feels like an assault. Why not opt for less distortion and make it more kid-friendly at the same time? Give people hearing damage after 8 p.m., maybe?
Update: Completely forgot to add that this is the 150th daily post in a row and only two days away from becoming the third longest streak ever.

The first thing my daughter bought with her pocket money was a camera! Well, she bought some candy and small toys before, but this is the first thing she actually saved quite a while for. Needless to say, she was very happy when it arrived today. Now she just needs a lot of film! 🙂

Drove to Wuppertal today to take part in a 40th day memorial gathering for a friend's mother who passed away very unexpectedly recently. The kids did not enjoy the heat, but they are slowly getting used to riding in the car.

I met up with Daniel in Düsseldorf this morning and we took part in a photo walk organized by the Fujifilm X Den. We were able to borrow the new X Half camera and I decided to shoot "a roll of Acros" – 36 photos, five of which you can see above. It only shoots JPGs, and ...

Spent some time on a new (for us) playground on our way home. This slide was a very reflective – and fast!

Pretty full day today. Normally I don't get to take many images when there's lots of work or other commitments, but today it worked out somehow and I took lots of images as the day went along. Oh, and I finally managed to watch another movie with the boys again (Insomnia, with a tired-ass looking Al Pacino) – last time was back in December!
In other news, we finally released a long-awaited update for picu Pro, which introduces e-commerce functionality.

A couple of photographs from today's walk around the park with the family.
Took out the 18-55mm. I seldomly use zoom lenses, but this kit lens is really superb.

We escaped the heat by taking a stroll through the woods. Nice temperature and some (fenced-in) wildlife. Glad I took the long lens, which rarely sees any action nowadays.

It's late; I need to sleep; No context, just the image.

Love hanging out near the water, even if it is this health hazard-looking slurry of a fountain. 😅 (Not really apparent in the image, but it is bright green and full of foamy streaks. Doesn't smell, though.)
The brand new X-E5 sure looks nice. Very strong iteration from the previous generation. (Which I sold to buy the X-T5, so I am currently not in the market for a new camera.) But the new 23mm 2.8 is very interesting. I love the compact size of the 27mm 2.8, but 40mm full-frame equivalent still feels a bit off – even though I have gotten a lot more used to it. So a proper 35 in the same form factor? Very tempting indeed! How many 35mm lenses does one need? 🙈

We lost another tree this morning. This one, formerly in front of the house, was very beautiful when in full bloom. Suvi will be so sad when she comes home. 🥺

I did not take any images today. Very busy with work, but made good progress on our next picu release. Photo from exactly a week ago.

Took a final glance out the hotel window before heading to the train station. Almost home now, got about an hour left (🤞), looking forward to seeing my girls!
WCEU was great, especially the hallway track. Had many inspiring conversations – even during the after party last night. 😁 I always leave motivated to get back to work, especially on picu, where we have a major release coming up in the coming weeks. 🙌
