Sigma fp, OM Zuiko 24/2.8

Main purpose of this museum visit, though, was to experiment with macro extension tubes on the 24mm and OM 100/2.8; not sure if anyone'd be interested in seeing the results.

We have stormy weather here in Austria and I was just testing the Lumix's live view composite feature to photograph the rays... that went well, but I must have done something wrong because the village church is blurred... I can understand that the trees are blurred by the strong wind, but the Church at the bottom? Maybe I moved the tripod when I took the second set of photos... I don't know, any suggestions?

Tasman Bridge at Hobart in Tasmania.

This was taken off the back deck of our AirB&B, hand-held (I didn't bring a tripod) so it's high ISO and needed DxO Deep Prime XD3 to clean it up.
