Jay, great capture with the cats!
Jose, what a gorgeous bird. I've never heard or seen pictures of a Squirrel Cuckoo!
Never knew there as an obelisk in NY, Serge. Great capture too (love diffraction sunstars).
Leighton, wonderful Augusta county shot. Looks like you are getting along great with Skylum. Maybe your next farmer market adventure is print sales (or does that market retain a true farmer market feel of food related items only?).
More 20mm shots. Preference for the entire falls to the top, or an excerpt with just the dark tones?

The view from Governors Island on a hot steamy day. The sailboat had been in the repair/restoration slip for sometime so it was good to see it back in action.
Happy Independence Day and have fun with the grill.

Been under the weather for about a week, but feel like I am emerging now. I am sure you'all kept posting masterpieces which I hope to tag "like" soon. Happy 4th of July.
I visited a graveyard yesterday. The brown grass crackled under my feet in the 90 degree heat, and I didn't quite get what I was hoping to find. A Melville quote that I always hated..."Faith, like a jackal, feeds among the tombs, and even from these dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope"...was not evident. Instead I was drawn to large stone statue that appeared to look to be of a native American chief from behind, and turned out to be a local Polish Priest named Marianus Matkowski whose congregation obviously loved him. His marker is on a slight crown of a hill, surrounded by towering firs, and graves arranged circularly around his. The deer scat was thick in one shady spot, and a hawk called periodically at me from the tallest tree. I don't go to graveyards because I don't believe spirits would hang around their spent bodies of dust, but this time it did feel spiritual. Not dead, but alive. I can only find a mention of Marianus in a 1959 directory of Priest of Polish descent, but I know there must be a story concerning such an expensive grave marker. Just haven't found it yet.
These were done with IR converted 5D, and the Nikkor-P.C 55mm f3.5 ai'd lens
Looking south from Marianus - at the time I shot this it looked like a tunnel of light

Near the entrance was this massive blood red stone crucifix

Thanks for all the comments on the waterfall pics.
Scott, one thing I love about digital vs analog is that I can adjust ISO so easily, and I'll actually bracket shutter speeds in some circumstances. Great day lily and vase shot, perfectly composed.
Leighton, George, the trend towards more crafts and stuff and less farmers has been going on for awhile now at the farmers markets around here. I'm guessing the time expenditure vs income not work well for most farmers, who perhaps are better served by the local farm subscriptions when available.
That's quite an large span over a seasonal river, Jay. I see once again it's with your faithful 24mm PCE; I would welcome hearing your story as to how that came to be your "go-to" lens.
Good to hear you are getting better James!
A not too creative, classic cave wall rock texture shot in B&W, 20mm f3.5 AI.
Popping back after a few years into the best thread on FM
Before selling all my Nikkor MF lenses since I don't have a DF anymore, I wanted to see if I can still use them. Can I use AI, AI-S, and Non-AI lenses on my Leica M10 through some sort of adapter? And would it work with the rangefinder or only live view?
Yes you can use your Ai, AIs and Non-Ai on your Leica. You will not get rangefinder coupling so you will have to use live view or the Visoflex EVF.
Just Google “Nikon F to Leica M adapter” and you will get a number of different adapters. I have two. A very inexpensive Fotodiox adapter and a top quality Rayqual adapter.
Edit: Tried to link to the Rayqual but not working for some reason… CameraQuest sells them here in the US and you can also order through Japan Hobby Tool

The problem is, you have to be big and have lots of product available to make it worth it. Plus, you have to stick it out when you're new to give yourself time to build a customer base. Most new vendors come with a little table of produce and quit after a week or two because they didn't make any money. We had vendors at our market pushing eighty to a hundred thousand dollars a season in gross sales.

Beautiful colours here, Samy. I presume your zoom has a chip? The exif seems very detailed.
Hi Siphiwe, thanks! There isn't a chip on the lens, its a combination of info entered for the non-CPU lens getting translated, and then for the lens name I just input it after the fact into the file properties metadata.
