Very nice! Never noticed before that the Bellows-Nikkor has the aperture ring reversed in direction compared to normal Nikkors: I wonder why they did that?
I didn't really use my flickr account until December 6th of last year. Was always going to get round to it on my domain, but client photos, and business promotion always took precedent. Now that I live the life of a slug I can put some time into my own personal photos. (about 5000 uploads since December) and I have only scratched the surface It actually is a great way for me to organize, and the download zipped album feature is extremely helpful for backup.
Wish I had remembered your experiences into microphotography -I could have asked about ZS vs HF software, ELWD microscope objectives etc.

Enjoying recent shots, Colin's street work, Raphael's garden (nice succulent area / path, is it new?),
Jim's super macros (I have posted extreme macro shots here before Jim using a 200mm/f4 tube lens with a Nikon 10x objective. I'll post one below.) and lots more including the IR stuff.
Thanks for starting the close up spring flower parade Ken. Love the output.
Morten, great processing and composition on the flowers.
Not sure how much cropping is involved, James, but that 55mm f1.2 sings with the tulips. My lazy brain says no way a specialist f1.2 optic can get that close.

No cropping Ray, but the TC-16A makes it a 88MM EFL Pretty sure I left it wide open or one click down (f1.4) and the dreamy look it gives I find very attractive. I had to stay about 24 inches away for those shots.
One of my favorite lenses for concert photography is my 1950s Nikkor 105/2.5 LTM, the original Sonnar design. I used it for these photos last night, including a few wild ones of the piano player's face reflected in the lid of the piano.
Great series.
The piano reflection in particular.....

Lovely images! I just purchased a factory AI'ed P-Nikkor 105/2.5 Sonnar design (amazing how inexpensive such a fine quality lens is!) and am looking forward to trying it out in a concert setting, so your pictures are inspiring. Of course your LTM version has 9 aperture blades, and mine has only 6, so there will be some rendering differences stopped down, but wide-open I should get the same sort of results as your copy.
The crows are regulars now. I need to find some identifying features and give them names. Barb found out they love boiled eggs. Not sure where that made it onto their menu, but wow - they love boiled eggs.

WOW, Nikon showing the 105/2.5 Ai-S some love today, posted this on their Instagram account
Congrats! A co-worker of mine was also featured this month (the birch trees immediately before yours). I've been trying to get featured but so far no love from Nikon.
