Neighbour's water supply pipe leaks on my property and causes hazards. [OT]

This shows that it's useful to have a decent camera handy to record the kind of farce that occurs when neighbours have a poor quality water supply pipe that leaks on your property repeated times (2018, 2014 and 2012):

Firstly, I went through the OMD EM10 Mark II's main shooting balance options and art filters, all shot with the 45mm f/1.8 lens wide open at f/1.8, exposure times approximately 1/2000 second on a bright day. This gives an idea of how the art filters might affect a natural subject and also how they affect the colouring of the background blur.

With this subject as with many others, there is a trade off between the pleasing bokeh effect of well blurred background colour wash that brings the subje...
