Some really fantastic images during the holiday period - I lurked when I had a chance and am still amazed at the quality of the work produced on this thread.

I'm experimenting with some of my old slides and photographed this Kodachrome taken in Teneriffe in 1972 using my Pentax Spotmatic this morning. A very crude technique - Scotch tape onto a window with a cloudy backdrop, Nikon D200 with MF 105 2.5 and all the extension tubes in my armoury.

The lens is amazing - handheld and a quick PSE6 conversion.

Peter I take my hat off to you. That's one of the finest image than I saw in that thread.
It's for that kind of picture that I love photography. Well done!

Ray - Time to break the boredom and head for the mountains!

John - Excellent series from up on high! What stunning scenery!

Tony - Looks like the 55 is a good fit for you.

Georg - Looks like the church I shoot at sometimes. I love the details of these old buildings, hard to find craftsmanship like this these days.

Chin - I've enjoyed all of the dog portraits.

Jose - What a beautiful flower, thanks for the color, it's much needed up here!

Dylan - Good to see you posting again, great use of the 16mm.

Alan - Thanks for chiming in, you've mentioned my favorite store for computer needs. In fact, I ordered one from them yesterday afternoon!

Americo - Great news!

Ronny - I love the work with the 105 and 135. They are both legendary lenses.

Reagan - I was once in the everglades on an air boat, what a ride! And what a place.

Peter - What a great old image. One of these days I need to digitize all of my old photos.

Here's a quick panorama with the 100/2.8 series E. This is looking West towards the Olympic Mountains - down there somewhere is Seattle.

Actually, if you blow it up you can just see the tops of the skyscrapers downtown about 30 miles away.

Thanks Alan, Ronny and Leighton.

Peter, please keep these old slides coming!

Ronny, I liked your set, mostly the DOF playing in the last shot.

Phillippe, Ronny, Leighton and Jose - thank you for your kind comments.

Just a question thouigh - is it legitimate to add a copied slide originally taken with a Takumar to this thread?

I did it with some misgivings since it was copied using the 105 2.5 and tubes and I'm not entirely satisfied that to continue is a good idea unless the original was also taken using Nikon MF glass.

Ray - Time to break the boredom and head for the mountains!

Here's a depressing fact - the highest point in the county where I live is an expressway overpass

Closest hills are about 1.5 hours away, this area used to be a swamp that was drained with hand dug ditches back in the mid 1800's.

Thanks for the encouragement, if nothing else it forces more thinking, though it makes it difficult to travel for pics unless I'm making it a large part of the day.

Nice panoramic, John
Ronny, really like the first shot with the 105 f2.5.

Peter, yes, it's legitimate as long as you use a Nikon MF for copying. After all you're capturing an image with it.

Well, if you remember way back in this thread of Gregory's (NikkorAIS) work, he shot in what looked like one of the most desolate places on earth! And yet, he always found something worthwhile. Hang in there!

Ronny, very nice captures with the 105/2.5 Ai!

Peter, I would love to see more of your early work. Maybe some additional diffusor between slide and light-source would help to reduce the contrast a wee bit.

Dylan, nice to see that the 16/3.5 works so well in your hands!

John, the pano is breathtaking. Impressive especially considering the fact that the Series-E-range was Nikons budget-line.

Jose, the focus-stacked flower is wonderfully captured. The mix between razor-sharp blossom and buttery out-of-focus areas is amazing.

Reagan, very cool gumboots. They are fashionable over here since some famous singers performed rain-swept open-air-concerts wearing gumboots;-)

Chin, another very nice portrait of Oolong Tea!

Philippe, nice to see the mighty 24 PC-E.

3 stitched horizontal shots with the PC 85/2.8:

"Today it will be better" or so - love this optimistic hedgehog. A nice way to think about the future.
Another, better framed 3-picture-set won't stitch without blatant errors :-(
