a couple of pics of our pup Leo. when he was about 6 months old, he decided to pick up my loyal D300s all by himself, and.. dropped it.. finally got myself together the D500 and the long lens.

Ha Ha, that's a neat trick! When I'm ready to get a new camera, I'm going to teach my Golden to do the same trick
Cute pup, by the way!
Winter is on it's way here in Wisconsin with our first measurable snowfall expected tomorrow. Not much a fan of winter as I'm aging, so I thought I'd post this picture taken back in July with my trusty Nikon Df/85 f/1.4AIS.
Testing a new toy – Sigma 35mm Art. Thank you, Sigma rebates.
This is my first time shooting at f/1.4, and holy smoke, this lens is crazy-sharp wide open. I will check focus calibration but so far I am pretty happy with real-world results.
The lens feels lighter than expected, even on the D750. Bokeh seemed pretty good, although I can see the benefit of avoiding challenging backgrounds.
Clearly some old pals here. Below: Mr. Dooks (RIP) and our new rescue, Xena, rat terrier - shown here before she went a little white in the snout. All taken, I believe, with the 85 1.4 D.
Rat terriers are interesting dogs. I met my first one this summer. The terrier played on equal terms with my 55-pound bundle of energy. Nice pictures, too.
Amazing! My last post in this thread is from July!
Time to catch up
Nice work with the 105mm Don.
Stuff happened since July. Most recently, my girlfriend bought a Sigma 35mm f1,4 Art so I will be able to post photos using my 85mm f1,4 that was glued to her camera before the Sigma arrived
It's nice to see more Sigma 35mm photos here, showing us what we can aim for.
I'll sneak in a photo my girlfriend made with the Sigma lens because I know we are short on time at the moment and she will most likely not get around to post the photo herself
This photo however was taken with a Nikon 50mm f1,8 Ai-S my father in law gave me. He bought the lens together with a Nikon F3 back in 1989 but never got around to use either. He gave me both the camera and the lens after I promised him to put them to good use

Well, we moved house and now live on a farm, pretty much in as rural and quiet an area as can be found over here ...Show more →
Fantastic series here Buddy, and I love the commentary along with it as well! And yes, you are absolutely putting your father in laws camera/lens to great use! I always love seeing both yours and your girlfriend's images... They are always amazing to see! Hoping all is well with your little girl
Best wishes,
Don
Thnx Don. Anouk is doing great. Growing so fast that we keep buying new clothes because the old ones no longer fit

Ratter (feists) are size blind. A few months after we rescued her, I took her running and we fought our way by a mastiff quietly walking with its master. The leash slipped out of my hands and she raced back to attack the mastiff (ratter weighs 14 lbs wet). By the time I got to them, I could tell the the mastiff was starting to get annoyed by the little dog hectoring it. I grabbed my dog, apologized, and moved off. The mastiff could have crushed her with one bite.
On the other hand, with people, she is a flirt.
, how did you guess? Yes, the latest being a 2014 1199 Panigale R. It is an insane bike!
