I like that 3rd shot Phillip...

18mm c/y with t/s adapter

Big sea yesterday

Mcbroomf - that first shot is a wall hanger! Great composition color and light.

I really like the third shot with the exposed ribs of the old boat.

Jim, thanks. I was at the shore taking photos before the sun came up, and I thought my last would be as the sun hid a little behind that thin cloud band. But I took one more set as it rose above it and that was the best one of the lot. I was pleased how little flare there is. They closed the road an hour or so later as the tide rose and the waves started throwings rocks at passers by.

Thanks ebookman. I was walking around the boatyard with ice studs. Where there was no snow the whole place was thick black ice.

I'm quite please with the way the tilt-shift adapter is working with the 18 c/y. The one of the bouys and rope was taken at F4 (by mistake, I usually stop down to 5.6 or 8)

Phillip, I continue to be intrigued by your Tenerife images.

Mcbroomf, great shots from the waterside. I also liked the perspective from under the boat.


My wife borroed the 5N for an outing to China Town in SF. She's still getting the hang of it. Here are a few of her shots with the CV 21/1.8 (I processed them)

oh oh... what a high level in this thread!

.. especially the pictures of the zeiss lenses and the 15mm heliar are highly spectacular

cool.

McBroomf, Great Photos and composition. What is c/y and t/s

Jacob -- Good job by your wife. She needs her own camera! I gotta say she answered a couple of questions I never thought to ask. A picture really is better than words.

xbarcelo -- Interesting exhibit and great capture of the mood in a single shot.

LeadyGonzales -- This is how lens envy begins. Nice!

Thanks ducbutchi, c/y = Contax/Yashica, in this case the 18mm, and t/s is the Kipon tilt/shift adapter I used with it on the 5N, either for vertical correction or to increase apparent dof by tilting the focal plane

xbacelo, I like your ravens

The fortune in the cookie has forever been a mystery. No longer!

xbarcelo, those ravens are bizarre, nice photo.

Another one at about the limits of the 18mm lens with tilt

Lumis, that is excellent. Is it IR?
