These sets are certainly not uniform. The pictures-processed count was quite low until the last few days of October, since I was on the road for much of the month. In the end I still processed less than half as many pictures as I did in September, though more sets.

I removed 12 sets from the queue and added 11 sets, so definitely ahead, especially since the added sets should be easy.

Picture logs still available. As always, pictures are clickable to go to the full gallery.

Flash trip to Arizona (October 2024)

I had one full day and one half day in Arizona without other obligations. I had no car and was in Flagstaff, so I chose to walk up to the Mount Elden lookout, after going to the market. On this trip I brought my a6600 with the 55-210, not too heavy, and much better photo quality than the HX-90V.
