Is it just me or that butterfly is out of focus just like the bottom of that image? Thanks for sharing, Laura.



And last night, I did a little bokeh test at MFD, using the anniversary card I found while cleaning Wednesday morning. He would have been 60 today.

Hey all, please bare with me. I recently purchased a new monitor and I'm testing the colors on it. And since this image has a lot of different colors I decided to use it as the guinea pig. The first one was processed using my old monitor, and the second obviously with the new one
The second one looks more natural on my monitor.

Very nice Jose.

Now that my monitor seems to be in the ball park, I'd thought I'd share this image from this morning. The sky was showing some nice alpen glow. And guess what? No more sensor spots! Shot with the 105mm f2.5.


Leighton, not BaaaaahhhhhdddD at all.

Beautiful colors

In case you were wondering what the setup looked like...

I was playing around with the PK-13 extension tube on my 105mm 2.5 ais last night. The subject was a Western Electric 300B audio tube that puts out some nice warm colors in a long exposure.

Cheers, Jeff.

Fabulous photo Jeff I love it!

Here are a few shots from my Karaoke show last night. On Tuesday night we have an early show that is aimed at seniors. It is such a fun night, we get to hear many of the classics. Most of them are terrific singers. Here's a few shots using the 85mm 1.4 and the 35mm 1.4



Top pics, Ray
Thank you Peter

More from Nikki in McGregor.
I often have difficulty using Nikki indoors due to her longer focal length and low light levels; the early darkness of winter also limits my shooting. I've made sure to put her to good use these past two days.



Very good use - good variety of very nice shots
I agree whole heartily. I Love the photos of you happy family!

I love that shot Peter. It really tells a story

Leighton, each of these has its points - personally I prefer the darker barn, which I feel is the focus of the image.

Nice! Although I thought the dog was the fortune teller
I'd trust his prediction as much as woman's



It's the cards, Monty, the cards - which predict that you have more MF lenses to come .... and soon

Thanks Laura and be strong through the anniversaries, holidays and birthdays. You are amazing and have so many memories to remind you of the richness of the love you shared.

Jeff, a subject that probably predates the lens you used, very well captured.
