This year's olive crop by laroque

This year's olive crop

Well, not quite, one third of it. Three olives on a tree in our garden that has been known to fill a 7 liter bucket. Probably a consequence of being cut hard back last year, though olive trees are known to be highly variable in their productivity.

Tried to take this shot with manual focus, but found that the focus ring on the lens was broken. Heard a grinding sound a few weeks ago, I guess that was it. It's only a cheap lens, 150€, so do I keep it and ignore the fault, replace with the same or something different. Olympus do a 40-150mm Pro version for 1300 €, I doubt if Santa will be bringing me one of those.
Nice shot.

i am impressed you are growing olives. This is a nice capture. I believe Santa may bring you that lens.

Super shot of your crop! Loe your focus. It's annoying when something lets you down, but I guess everything has a shelf life, ultimately. My camera is playing up at the moment with not recognising the memory card, intermittently, so I'm considering a new one (current one 13 years old now, and used daily, but then again, it's a lot of cash if I can just get this one to behave for a bit longer ...).

A wonderful close-up! Lenses can be expensive. My choice is always on the low budget lenses as I can be tough with my stuff :-)
