Getting chilly here too, first freeze warning of the year tonight. Glad I snuck out for lunch yesterday, all the talk of the 55/1.2 made me need to use it. Couple B&W, couple fall color.
Now that Halloween is over we can focus on the lighter side of the Medieval fair, there were black painted warriors and witches (in friendly spirits but somewhat scary), but there were also fairies, elves, jesters, dancers, drunken pirates.

Some regrets tatoo
Thanks for the tour through that medieval fair, Rafael; those are some very fine and elaborate costumes!
For my contribution today, I will feature the 105 f/1.8 Ai-s on my D800E and some backlit early autumn leaves.

This is quite the combination of diagonal lines for movement, vertical lines for stability, triangular segments, and perfectly placed woman-with-tripod-&-shadow for balance, Serge. Very nicely seen and captured!
While the thread has been busy, I've avoided putting more than one of my image posts in a single page, but I have a ton of photos and there's been a four-hour gap, so why be rigid about it, right? Here is a set from my D800E at Big Qualicum River that includes one with some fall colour in it. Lenses used were the 28 f/2 N (first two photos) and the 50 f/1.4 SC (for some fall colour)....Show more →
Glen , many thanks for the nice words. It was a lucky shot.
Excellent captures of the water reflections, they resemble the craft of an impressionist master.

I was driving past the marina in Brunswick, GA today when I noticed a tall ship. This one is named "Denis Sullivan" and is from Milwaukee, WI. It was purpose-built in 2000 specifically to teach people how to sail. More can be found about it here: https://sailtraininginternational.org/vessel/denis-sullivan/
There wasn't any way that I could get a shot of the entire boat. The only MF lens I had with me is the 55/3.5 Ai'd. Instead, I opted for some close-ups. I can't imagine trying to rig one of these boats.

Fall 2023 GAS re-purchase some old pals. New to me is the 135 F4 bellows lens, little unique as it started its life as an RF optic and had several mount changes during its life.
top-105 F4 bellows lens, 300 F4.5 lens
middle-50 F1.4 lens, 200 F4 AIS micro lens, 135 F2.8 lens

Quite an interesting set of lenses Harry, and they look in great condition!
Today is el dia de los muertos, celebrated in my native country but not like Mexicans do it.
The California Center for the Arts, a municipal entity, does the honors well. I had not photographed it in a while.
Wanted the best I could get, of all the MF Nikkor 50mm the best one by far, in my opinion, is the Millennium.
Let's start by sharing what this is all about, remembering those who got there before us.
At 1.4, focused in front of the subject to hide their identy but still capture the feeling. Building an altar to grandma.
Lens is sharp but the real quality of this lens is beautiful rendering of in and out of focus areas in any light.

Rafael, excellent series you ave posted in the past few pages. The close up set with the 55/1.2 is specially tasty. Great to see you back in the groove.
The extremely popular rail car N0 28, Lisbon. It travels through several of the top sites of the city and tourists take good advantage of this. If one enjoys sardine cans, one would love a ride in this little guy. It is a bumpy ride but lots of fun.

It looks like the car have not changed during the years (I took my picture in 2011), just a little restyling.
Every time I reprocess a picture made by the D700 I realize how good that camera was for the time, and it is still good enough.
Not so demanding about lenses and you can close old wide angles at f/11 for corner sharpness with almost zero diffraction; I used the small and light 35mm f/2.5 E a lot for traveling.
And the D700 made me discover and get addicted to MFNG, so it has been a special camera for me.
rolubich, great comparison shot. Yes, the D700 is a great camera!
Serge, I thought most city center transports are sardine cans. At least it looks like the weather was good enough when you were there for open windows.
Nice details and B&W conversion on the sailboat, Scott. Those boats always attract my attention as well.
Back to fall postings.
The sun playing hide and seek in the clouds made for interesting lighting - 180mm f2.8 AIS
Dark trunks and branches looked appealing to me - 85mm f1.8H
