Warming

I have been suffering from a really bad cold for the last few days, the worst I have had for years.
So, time to take some warming medicine.
Also, partly to celebrate the outcome of the referendum. I was a bit nervous this morning, when I turned on the TV for the news.
I appreciate that Scotland has a different cultural identity to England. But the history of the two countries is entwined.
It seems that the pollsters got it a bit wrong, and didn't account for the large silent majority that kept their unionist views quiet.
And this is the first picture using an old manual focus Olympus macro lens I bought for £30. Works well on the A7R.

Sony α7R
1/8s f/1.0 iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Great image Bill!
Is this Dhalwinnie a whisky you would recommend?
Why didn't you vote Yes? Scotland seems a lot Scandinavian to me and England is so much conservative.
Don't be afraid, make te leap......

I love playing with old, manual focus lenses, and I bet I would love playing with a Sony a7R.
Excellent photo, hope you are feeling better.

I suppose the country would've survived no matter the outcome of the referendum but I'm happy that you liked the result. Feel better.

A very sharp lens indeed! Sorry to hear you are under the weather,Bill! Now that the voting is over maybe you will start to mend!

Clarity is excellent with this lens, hope you enjoy and recover quickly.

The medicine looks great, as does this closeup of it. Congratulations on the lens -- it looks like a keeper.
