In Florida there is shuffleboard, In New Haven County CT there is bocci. We have a lot of Old World Italians who take bocci very seriously.
Some of your photos look more grainy then I would expect whereas your early photos did not. Your ASA/ISO number does not appear on PBase. Is it possible you left it on a high value taking low light indoor shots and have not reset it when you moved outside? Your exposure is very fast for F8. Just a guess.
