The CV 90 "APO" LTM I don't think is as good as the SLR version, but it's light and pleasant
My A7 should be back shortly with the latest thin cover, now only .8mm. That's going to be fun to check out. I think the M240 is the same.
It's interesting in the astro world nothing beats a monochrome CCD a la MM. They cool them to reduce noise, and use very pricey tracking mounts for long exposures in deep space. I'm not going there, but I do wonder how my 500/4 P would do with a great mount like that
Apalachicola, Florida is dubbed "The Forgotten Coast," since it does not get the attention of tourists and vacationers that are given to other areas of Florida, but it is one of my favorite spots along the Florida Panhandle. A fishing village, where some of the world's finest oysters and shrimp are harvested, Apalachicola is fertile ground for photography.
I took this shot with an S006 and 70 Summarit-S fitted with an 8-stop ND filter just after sunrise this morning at one of the oyster boat piers. I was surprised that the seagull remained relatively still for a 20+ second exposure.
Werner, very dramatic shot.
Rene, the first shot looks so vintage. I would have thought it was taken in the 30s or 40s. Beautiful.
Allen, a powerful portrait, and a good catch (pun intended) in the second shot
Charlie, thank you for the comments! My favorite is no. 3, a pensive moment
Steve, nice colors from the 75. I like 1 and 3.
webisweb, nice use of shallow dof.
So, between my house and town there is a bridge. Somebody decided 3 lanes was not enough, though it was two lanes for many busier years, so they want to add one and make it four, in the middle of the biggest winter in 20 years, while keeping a tiny two lane potholed gautlet open. It's so crazy, I skied up there today to get some shots:
