Lightroom reports that it's been exactly a month since I last shot something with an MF Nikkor. Went out this morning and was not prepared for the temps but liked the light enough to push through it. 200mm f4.0 AI.
I'm in the Gold Coast / Surfer's Paradise having flown Perth to Brisbane on the Red Eye for my daughter's wedding which is next Saturday (12th). I haven't brought my camera (there's a Pro hired for the wedding). The venue is up in Lamington NP.
Anyway, I'm down here in a hotel until Sunday so I might actually get a chance to do a bit of processing/uploading in between family events.
Here's one from Freycinet NP in Tasmania. I think with the 135/f2 Ai on the GFX50S

A few hours of walking up and down, taking some photo's here and there, we went home with 3 very satisfied doggies (taken with the 20mm f3,5 Nikkor-UD)

Nice light in this Ray. Is that a large piece of concrete hanging by some rebar?
Scott
Yes it is Scott. During the public meeting to discuss demolition of the bridge, this was one of the safety issues discussed. Of course, a group of local river enthusiasts asked that some of the concrete be allowed to fall and remain in the river as it created whitewater opportunities that would not otherwise exist.

Cool. I this the one that is meant to disappear soon?
Good memory Siphiwe. The demolition is slated to start this summer.
A couple more shots that show the state of the degradation.
From downstream with the 25-50 AIS.

Buddy, wow Amy is 14?!?!! Where ever has the time gone!!?? Lumi is looking well! So good to see you posting and have fun with the "new" lens!
Mary
Thank you Mary. Posting here always feels a bit like coming back home. Yes, Amy is 14, and Lumi is 10. Anouk is 8 already. Time really flies. And that is the thing. So much has happened since I regularly posted here, and a few of the things that happened tie me up in other areas. In the past 3 years I made a name for myself as artist, and throughout the year I'm booked at several fantasy themed events where I then paint commisioned stuff on-site. It is a fun activity, and I get to meet many nice people from al over the globe at these events, but it does take time and energy to keep up with demand. With that, I have far less time to go out and take photo's, which however I still enjoy best with those old manual Nikon lenses. I tried autofocus but it just really doesn't work for me.
Buddy, so good to see you here and know all is well. You are indeed an artist and we all are so glad that these opportunities have opened for you. Give that "new" lens a work out and be sure and share with us!

Ray,
I love these bridge shots with life determined to take root on concrete and in the river. I really do appreciate decay now that I am decaying myself. I did figure out that this is where I was headed, and started an album of it this last December.

I don’t think mine were dogwoods (but maybe, I’m not a botanist) but they are in bloom here.
Rafael that armored Conn is a bit scary but I guess comforting when needed. I have a 20/3.5 and it’s good enough for me (and compact) but also why the 18mm is less interesting as it isn’t that different a FoV. Need to play with 15mm more and see if I’ll make use of it.
I think if the armored Conn in a battleship gets a direct hit, the only advantage is that your body will still be in one piece.
I bought the 18mms only because I could, but I find their form factor easier than the 15mm, Bought hose before buying 20mm.

First new windows computer since 2008. I've been building computers now since 1994 (beta tested win95), but I decided for securities sake to get ready for MS dropping support for win10. Wow, the specs were fantastic, but I wasn't prepared for the empty metal shell that showed up. I have an old used Dell OptiPlex 7010 that I completely rebuilt, and supped -up. It's at least 10 years old, and it has been a very good machine. The 7010 reached EOL a little while ago and I found two with some of the "Tower plus" (formerly 7020) guts (CPU and chipset?) shoehorned into the new "tower" (new 7010) case by Dell. The first thing I did was open the case up - it looked empty. No traditional drives or room for adding any, but I suspected some of it. I did add an SSD drive for the Lightroom catalog - shut the case and fired it up. What? It is suppose to have 20 cores that do 28 threads simultaneously, but all it showed was 8 cores and 16 threads. Got that sorted out now and a bunch of software installed - the temps are well within spec. And here is my first imaged photo - even though I am not done with the tweaking.

What eyes! be careful or you will create a new photography addict!

Have not been able to enjoy the C1, it is in fantastic shape but the fuel pump developed a small leak in the gasket, nothing small about fuel that burns. It is finally in the shop getting new fluids and this minor but important repair.
at 1.4 and not too well focused - my friend Natalia
Siphiwe, Would you happen to know the variety of those peppers? We buy jars
of them in a semi-sweet pickle/brine, and they are delicious. Thought I might grow some.
