Was just getting ready to say something about that. Rocking the old school CCD sensor. They are great at base ISO! Love the look of those cameras with Fuji special sauce added
I thought it was a Panasonic S5 (which is a good camera and value in its own right). Always been curious about the Fuji CCDs. Can we send one of those around next?

Doug, I am really enjoying your spring wildflowers. You are showing what a Df can still do in capable hands.
Sir - Your wish is my command, Mr. Submarine Man: (couldn't resist the rhyme )
On my hike yesterday I saw that it is now the time that our wild rose and lupines bloom. They are very common wildflowers, but still very beautiful up close.
There are many species of wild rose, but I think what we have here is "Rosa woodsii". The buds are deep red, then as they open, unfurl and grow, they turn ever lighter pink. There is usually one set of petals.

Nikon Df; ISO 100; micro-Nikkor 55mm f2.8 @ f4; 1/100 s. 7 focus stacked images
The images off my Df are so saturated that I have to pull that down in post. So even if this looks a bit super-saturated, I backed the slider of 15 pts!
Further down the trail I caught a bunch of these. Pinker at the outset and it looks like a double set of petals

By fallwild rose yields a fruit is like a tiny apple (rose hips) loaded in vitamin C. I think they were the main ingredient in Mo Siegel's first Celestial Seasoning tea.
Higher up I came upon large swathes of Glacier Lilies, which have disappeared over a month ago down here. Going up in elevation is like a time machine
I am off to Glacier NP for 3 days - I'll post the lupines and glacier lilies when I return.
Have a good trip Doug! Glacier NP, another bucket item for me. Looking forward to what you get!

Siphiwe I’m loving that sky, immediately caught my attention. Doug, the Df work is looking good and Jim, I hope you printed the wizards hat, all great shots.
A couple more Nippi shots. Most from previous sets I don’t post the first time around.

All wonderful. But the first one in the first set and the third one in the second set really does it for me.

Matt, these are all great, but that first one is really nice. You could put on workshops on how to use Nippi.
Matt, You need to get a 85mm f1.4 ais (if you don't have one already) to replace Nippi once she resumes traveling. It renders very much like her. I think the only prints of the Wizard's Hat all sold a long time ago, but I have hundreds of prints in tubs, and a black walnut briefcase I made from the last vertical tree I ever chopped down. (Made 35 of them to pay medical bills in the 1980s) So, there may be one left, or I could fire up the printer. Problem is - you want to have a bunch of files lined up for printing as it uses a ton of ink during it's cleaning cycle.

I had one a couple years ago. Made a poor decision and sold it and for my shooting it isn’t worth the premium most charge. Looking forward to using the 85/1.8 K mount, it is different but LaCa is a bit cleaner. At any rate, appreciate it.
As far as printing I agree, though I like the cleaning routine, appreciate that it exists and the printer just doesn’t brick from dry ink.
