On my end, once a s**t, always a s**t... Otus 28, wide open.My apologies for skipping your post inititially, Philippe and thank you for your compliment. Hey, I love the Otus bokeh and the bokeh balls in the first one. Thank you for sharing, Philippe.

When I selected my CR images from the last trip the first time around, I put a lot emphasis in choosing well focused and sharp images, understandably so. There was a few occasions that I deliberately handheld the camera and panned a flying bird or birds just to bring a variety. I posted a few images but didn't bother with this one.
This cockatoo was flying fairly low, swooping from branch to branch in a playful way. Somehow the shutter speed synced with the flapping wing/wings and most of the blue feathers of the wings are rendered well in focus and sharp, while the rest is blurred from the panning action and flapping of wings at that low shutter speed. The eye is barely visible... Oh, well.Joshua - I love this artsy fartsy photo. Well done!Gary, thank you very much! You haven’t shared your images with us here lately. Busy, I assume?

Still in the theme between blurred and sharp, here is another one from the previous trip to CR...
I have become addicted to film and my A7RIII has just been sitting on the shelf depreciating...

Gary,
To a certain degree, I am not surprised at that. I bumped into a photographer at a recent photoshoot. And that guy was using a polaroid camera. He put up a collage of a few images and took a picture (using a digital camera though) of the collage and a part of his camera/film box, etc. The result looks really cool, something different than just our typical digital image/images.

Feeling nostalgic of a classic look? Here is one from the roaring twenties...
That's so beautiful and moody Werner.
Very nice and elegant Joshua.
While waiting for permission to post the newest photos (I'm currently beta-testing a lens) I'm going through my shots from last year.
Here are some from the 50mm Russian Monocle/Monolens:
Werner and Helena -- great shots of the dreamy world.
*********************
Here are a couple from yesterday out in the drizzle. One is a favorite location of mine -- the building in field, the other seemed a good match for the neutral colored silo.
Out playing with the Contax 28-85 this morning. Need to cull my kit, trying to figure out what I want to keep. Not a small lens, but didn't really bother me carrying it about. 28-85 is a nice range as well.
Someone borrowed me a modified G90 put in a Pentax Helicoid with a pretty nice close focusing distance. And I made a typo when I created the exif profile.
got my novoflex adapter yesterday and will try more this weekend if there is good weather
some pictures from last weekend .. also booked a trip in January 2019 to the Faroe Islands that I really look forward to

Thank you, Helena and your images using that Monocle are superb; I love the bus image and the one of a single person walking.

White Pocket, anyone 😉? I really enjoy this place. Too bad it was a fairly short stay there although it was a long day including the 4-wheeling drive to and from that location. I really need to be scheduling an overnight trip next time around.
