My new camera arrived! 
I'm excited. I haven't been spending much time on PF lately, because I've been spending my time getting used to the camera and learning Lightroom and relearning Photoshop. (So much has changed.)
Here's my first project: "Mr. Fish & Chips, June 2024"
The picture in composite of about 140 individual photos taken from many different vantage points and perspectives around the front of the storefront, and taken at different times of day (some in the morning, some in the afternoon, and some in the evening). The photos were then painstakingly aligned in Photoshop (aligned to the "Mr. Fish & Chips" marquee) and blended together. (PixInsight also played a role in the integration.)
This is my first try on the Pep-Ventosa technique, named after the photographer who made this style of photography famous.
Mr. Fish & Chips, June 2024.
Leica SL3
Leica APO-Summicron-SL 35mm f/2 ASPH
A lot of the detail is hidden in the PF-sized version here. It looks a lot better enlarged to poster or wall sized. Here is a crop that I still had to shrink to fit here:
I had a lot of fun on this project. The mistakes I made here I can learn from for next time. I have a lot coming up in the next few weeks, so I don't think I'll get around to more Pep-Ventosa-esque photos for a little while. But I'll try to keep posting other random photos when I get the chance.
Here's a photo a puppy that lives in the neighborhood.

Leica Vario-Elmar-SL 100-400 f/5-6.3 (f=230mm, 1/2000s, f/6, ISO-10000)
