The weather turned.... we were unlucky. The weather front was right on top of us.
Very heavy rain earlier in the day and then a very low cloud base spoiled the views.
50/2 H (no apparent ill effects from me taking it apart and cleaning it)

Not that you asked but for me the 35mm f1.4N is your signature Cruising Grand lens.
Interesting, will take a second look, I think in the past I have done well with the 35mm 1.4 N, but the light was not favorable last time I went. There was fire smoke in the air and that was too much to add to the thorium yellowing, one or the other is fine - both was too much.
House don't look great, I let the landscaping die in the front, so I could replace it with low water use.
Needs paint and driveway repair - that will come after I complete the roof and deck.
Very much dislike the D810 blowing the highlights, Z6 not as much.

Some more views from the Sout West coastal path.
This part of the coastline is dotted with lots of little coves and wonderful beaches.
It was a hot mid-week day with people enjoying the sunshine and the natural playground.
Schools were back in session so it was relatively quiet.

Nice, interesting coast line. My wife and I thought this looked like Cornwall (she loves Cornwall), but I see from you tagging on Flickr its between Plymouth and Torquay?

Correct Doug. It does look like Cornwall but Salcombe (where we stayed) lies in the county of Devon.

BMW drivers would use a delivery service
Your new deck is looking great, the roof will too once it is finished.
We had our clay tiled roof cleaned last year to get rid of moss, lichen, soot and general grime.
It made a huge difference.

Did I say why I do not drive a BMW?
The 20mm 2.8 is a good lens to record work.
Deck is going to be a great place, rafael. The roof slope is so dramatic on the last picture. I had to do a double-take. The first picture soon sorted me out. Wide angle perspectives.
So, not only do you require rafael-condition lenses, you also require rafael-condition highlights too . I think you did well here, from a documentary perspective, the story's been told. Very much looking forward to future ones.
Nothing special here, just doing some non-technical testing with lenses on the Z fc and thought I would post some to keep the thread moving along.
I went for a walk in the woods after work yesterday and used the 5cm f/1.4 internal bayonet rangefinder lens adapted. Wanted to see how it would "draw" using a large aperture. Sun is setting earlier and earlier so all were shot at f/2 in the fading light in heavy tree cover.
Have I mentioned that this combo is a super lightweight kit before?
Of course, ignore the aperture setting in the Exif info.
Shot manual, 1/125, f/2, Auto ISO
I think because this kit is so light, I need to shoot at a faster shutter speed handheld than I would with a heavier camera. Especially in positions when you can't get a good brace with your body. Like low to the ground. Harder to keep still. Advancing age has nothing to do with it
I have probably never seen an Edsel in reallife. Amazing car-portraits on the last few pages!
Here's a well protected teutonic city-tree:
Shot with the about 50 years old Nikkor-Q Auto 135/2.8 at full aperture on a D750. Minimal crop.
There are construction-works in progress nearby and all trees were protected in this fashion ;-)
I have shot a few sheets of 4x5 with a Nikkor-SW 90/4.5 on other subjects, but the developed negs are not digitalized yet.
A quick stop-off at the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovil.
I had planned to go round the 4 small exhibition halls twice - once with MF glass and then again with AF - but time didn’t permit due to very heavy road traffic.
The 16/3.5 was the only MF wide angle lens I had so distortion abounds – as well as lots of spotlight stars.
The Z6 is a very capable low light performer and coupled with IBIS makes for some very low shutter speeds and sensible ISOs in a dimly lit environment.
Making the best of a bad situation: I got my full spectrum Z7 back from being modded and was testing it out today. I was photographing in a canyon and heard something cool coming down the road. So I set up for this shot. When trying to get the files off the card my card got corrupted and I lost everything. But after a fair bit of work I was able to some of the photos. Basically low resolution JPGs, and none of the raw files were recoverable. So this was a case of make due with what you got.
