Thanks for the 28/2 images Don

You're welcome Reagan

I think the 28/2 is a great little (small and lightweight) lens and I'm positive that when in the hands of someone that is more talented than me that they could really make this lens shine.

Best Wishes,
Don

Thanks Don, wish you the best also, there is a sign in my doctors office that says "healthy mind, healthy life" and its true
the mind is something that can make you feel great, and if you let it make you feel ill, keep the positive thoughts and you'll soon be out there again getting pictures, wisconsin not far from me...we may even meet up some night chasing the northen lights

Don,
You have had a rough year. I’m in the UP of Michigan some 1600 miles from Florida trying to help out with my father in law who had a stroke, fell and broke a hip. He is in the care of a rehab center and he gave me the “stink eye” yesterday when I went to his PT yesterday. PT hurts and is frustrating but it must be done. Your brain needs to be retrained and new muscles need a workout which takes time. After I fell and broke both legs, I know there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel but just realize how much better you get every day. You gotta do it, don’t give up.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

/K

Wow. Don't know what to say other than thank goodness you are feeling better and we are here for you.

Thank you so much, Mary for your kind thoughts and hugs My wife is sitting here next to me and she is quite literally overwhelmed with such joy and happiness reading all of the outpouring of well wishes and thoughtfulness that my friends here on FM have shown me. You all are so kind and wonderful and have lifted my spirits to new heights! I feel so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful community!

Thank you to each and every one of you

Yes, keep the images coming! It might be a while until I will be able to post any images myself. I ended up having a stroke at work Monday morning. I never in a million years ever thought I'd have a stroke... but I did. The blockage was in the right side of my brain that controls my motor skills. So now I am experiencing problems on my left side of my body. I can't grip things in my left hand without dropping them like a pen, I have difficulty typing. My brain doesn't tell my fingers to move

Don, so sorry to hear this. I hope you're on the road to a full recovery. Having this family on FM helps a lot when going through something hard. Please keep us all informed of your progress.

Oh my gosh, what an incredible story. I have heard of similar thing happening when people are out shoveling the wet heavy snow that we can get around here. Or making drives thru the woods and fields when deer hunting. And you are so right. You just never know when something can happen. It just goes to remind us that no matter how much we might feel that we are in control of our life, that we truly are not.

I hope that all is well with you now. and I hope that you do not have to live in fear that something like that will happen again. Things like this can give you a refreshed outlook on life and a fresh perspective on life itself. It will remind you of what is truly important and what a person should be thankful for.

Thank you again and I wish you all the best,
Don
Thanks Don
unfortunately bad tickers runs in the family, dad passed from a heart attack, cousins, actually had one cousin that was picking up a trailer for the company he worked for, when he didn't show up at home for a few days the search was on, finally found him in Indiana, he wasn't feeling well, went to take a nap in the trailer and passed from a heart attack
so it is what it is, i just trudge along like it never happened, but putting it out of the mind is the harder part than actually having one, each time i feel a pain in my chest i have to wonder was it real or is it in my mind lol
I can certainly understand the fear you must have every time you feel a pain in your chest. I'm not going to lie. I have fear that I will have another stroke, especially because my Neuro Dr still doesn't know why it happened to me in the first place. If I don't know why it happened, how am I going to prevent it from happening again? And if it does happen again, I might not be nearly as lucky next time around as I was this time.

Wishing you all the best!
Don



Don, don't dwell on the unknown and it's wasted negative energy.
My brief story is that I was training in 2015 to run my 4th marathon with my daughter (I don't consider myself a runner, it's something we did together) and my breathing suddenly changed when training and seemed to be getting worse instead of better so I got it checked. The short story is, even though I was in good physical shape I had a 95% blockage in a coronary artery and to my good fortune ended up with a stent before it hurt me. I convinced myself to treat the frustrating recovery program as a sports injury recovery to allow me to benchmark the return to normal routines. The attitude and positive energy towards a full recovery really can make a positive difference including concentrating on your passions like photography.
I wish you all the best.

Thank you Ken for your wonderful words of encouragement. Yes, life certainly has thrown my wife and I some obstacles, but we make a fantastic team and our love will get us through this one too

I'm sorry to hear about your father in law. I'm sure that he appreciates you being there for him. Having loving support is huge and motivates a person to do everything he can to get better, not just for himself but for his loved ones as well. At least that is how I feel.

I am so thankful for all of the friendships that I have made here on FM, my wife has been incredibly supportive, helping me with my therapies, whether it be to improve my motor skills, my memory, physical strength, etc. Each day I am noticing improvements which has me excited and hopeful and helps keeps me from giving up.

Thank you again for your prayers and your encouragement. I truly appreciate it I am saying prayers for your father in law as well.

Best Wishes,
Don

Thank you Gerry for sharing your story with me! What you say is so very true, but it's good for me to hear it and be reminded of that. I just read to my wife what you had wrote and she agrees with you wholeheartedly! If Sunday turns out to be a nice day, we will try to go out with the camera and see if we can find something interesting to try and shoot I hope I'll have something new to be able to share with all of you.

Thanks again, Gerry.

Best Wishes,
Don

Charles, it's nice to see a series of images like this showcasing several different lenses being used in a similar manner. It gives us an idea how they all render in real world settings. Thank you for sharing this with us

Yes, keep the images coming! It might be a while until I will be able to post any images myself. I ended up having a stroke at work Monday morning. I never in a million years ever thought I'd have a stroke... but I did. The blockage was in the right side of my brain that controls my motor skills. So now I am experiencing problems on my left side of my body. I can't grip things in my left hand without dropping them like a pen, I have difficulty typing. My brain doesn't tell my fingers to move and hit the correct keys on the keyboard which is frustrating because I could always type at least 50 words per minute without error, i keep tripping over my left foot,my speech is impaired at times.

I have to go in for therapy to re learn how to do things again. I have to be patient. But I am lucky, it could have been much worse. I'm lucky it didn't happen when I was up on those cliffs taking the photos from up above on page 35 with my Zeiss 21... I could have fallen and died.

So it might be awhile before I can get out shooting again and get anything posted. So keep the images coming! I love seeing everyone's work whether it is recent or old. This forum helps keep my spirits up and my mind off of life's obstacles.

Wishing you all the best,
Don
Don, so sorry to hear this. I hope you're on the road to a full recovery. Having this family on FM helps a lot when going through something hard. Please keep us all informed of your progress.


Thank you so much Leighton! Yes, you are so right about having this FM family. You all mean the world to me. After every therapy session, I can't wait to be able to get back on my laptop and check in on the forum and be able to chat with you all, look at your images, etc. You all have raised my spirits and help keep my mind off of the struggle that I am currently facing. I appreciate all of the words of encouragement as well!

I keep praying to the Lord to give me the strength and the patience to overcome this and I keep thanking Him for not only keeping me safe but making sure that I didn't suffer the stroke while I was driving.... I don't know how I could live with myself if I would have had an accident and hurt or killed someone as a result of this stroke. I truly believe that He was watching over me and that it is with His help that I am making such an amazing recovery. All of my therapists are amazed at how well I am walking, talking ( I still struggle getting some words out, but I can carry on a conversation quite well already I'm still struggling with my motor skills... I've been trying to type this for over 20 minutes already, but I'm getting better. Just the other day this would have all looked like gibberish , . I do a lot of backspacing and retyping but it's good practice My memory is getting better too! It's encouraging seeing myself improve. I can tell when I'm mentally fatigued though and then I just have to give myself a break or I end up just getting myself frustrated. I'll just keep taking it one day at a time and count my blessings that I actually have this day

Wishing you all the Best. Looking forward to see what images you all capture over the weekend!
Don
