the snitch by summerfield

the snitch

last of my bokeh series for flash of red sunday.

i collect charms but i like those that pertain to my hobbies, like reading, writing, photography, and lately painting, or something about my profession or work. someone gave me this bracelet last Christmas and i was perplexed when i saw the broom, the owl, the witch's hat and the book. i thought "did they know i'm a witch?" 🥴 but i didn't get the little golden orb or the wings and the other charms. until today when my niece saw it and asked me "oh, you like harry potter now?" she's a harry potter nuts so she started to explain to me what the charms meant. so i'm back to wearing my fengshui bracelet. but before ditching this i decided i'd shoot it first, although i must admit i like that snitch thing but i forgot what it does. although i'm not about to see the movie or read the books; no offence to you harry potter-heads.

yesterday i went to the camera store and looked at used and new canon cameras. after looking at two used canon 80D's and a new canon 90D, i decided on a slightly used 80D that also came with a sigma macro lens. i will pick it up on tuesday before going to the dentist then i can test it as the dental clinic is near the water. if i don't like it i have the option to get the new 90D. i got a good discount as their records show in the past i bought from them four cameras and other gears.

shopping though is very different from pre-covid. at the store you cannot browse anymore and they prefer you call ahead for an appointment. i told the guy manning the entrance that i will just go to the competition which was at the next corner. i was ushered in chop-chop!

this is also for the peter forsgard 52 assignments, the prompt this week is 'bokeh'.
I would be at a loss to understand any of these trinkets as well but I am NOT at a loss to recognize a great photo! Fabulous B&W with terrific focus and all that luscious bokeh FAV

You could wait until you meet a potter head as you put so humorously then give it to that person! He/she might be younger than us. I've never got into that series!

Wonderful focus and bokeh. Your stories are always so entertaining. I have the 80d and am blissfully happy with it ;-)

Harry Potter as well. (when the snitch is captured in a game of quidditch the match is over) Beautiful focus and bokeh, hope camera (and dentist) work out ok!)
