Another walk near the lake, this time at Jack's Point, further along from the Kelvin Heights peninsular walk where the sculptures are. There is a path between the two.
Jack's Point is an exclusive suburb in development, has nice drystone walls here and there that remind me of home, I believe they flew in a UK drystone wall builder specifically to do them.
Both suburbs have their own golf course etc but both have public access to the footpaths and beach/shore of the lake.

Now that would be a great walk to take! Even if I think flying in stone to build a wall is a little excessive. I suppose not much different than today's homeowners sourcing marble and the like for countertops, other than perhaps in quantity.

Some first views from my new Nikon Z5. I totally botched setting up the camera, so there aren't as many shots that are worth a darn. One thing I am still not figuring out is how to get the non-CPU lens data to show in the EXIF. It took me half the day to figure out how to get focus peaking to work as well. Didn't know that somehow RAW+JPG setting got turned off. So, all of these shots are SOOC...even the one monochrome shot. It's cool that Nikon is trying to accomodate the Fuji's popular film recipes. I will be playing with those a lot! Sorry for the spam, but I am under 10. Since these are also full resolution, to see them in all their "glory"...click through to Flickr.
First group is with the 80-200/4.5 with the square baffle on the rear element.

Handheld at 1/15 and ISO 100... IBIS is something else!

My little one isn't so little anymore.

My favorite lens... Nikkor 55/1.2 AI. This is my second copy. My original copy (which I still have) has a scratch along the serial number ring. It shows sometimes in the bokeh, but even there its rare. The newer copy I think needs a good CLA as the focus is completely dry and when the lens is warm, there is a little wiggle in the focus ring and wide open, you can see it off center just a tad. At f/2, totally fine.

This shot is where I found out about the ghosting wide open. If I manipulate the focus ring, I can clean up the ghosting. So not only f/1.2, but at MFD as well. My focus point is on the letter "M" through my regular glasses.

Feels good to shoot again. I have really missed it....Show more →
Great to have you posting pictures again Kevin. Congrats on the Z. With respect to the EXIF showing up for Z series, you have to be using a Nikon FTZ (I or II) and it only records focal length and max aperture.
