Two shots from this morning's sunrise at Lake McDonald, Glacier Nat'l Park, Both with my Sony A7RIII using the Nikkor 35mm f2 AIS on a Kipon adapter. I think I was using f11. I was up there with my daughter camping and she pulled me out of a warm sleeping bag for this after a lightening/thunder storm during the night.
The first is an HDR of 5 exposures, the second, a single exposure. Yes, there is some ghosting on that second one. I was also using a Loxia 25mm f2.4 - great sunstars. I'll post those on the Sony Loxia site later.
These were just 2 quick works-ups.
We were hoping to see the comet earlier, before the sunrise really came on, but couldn't find it - maybe behind the clouds.
Beautiful shots Doug!
But wait, you have a daughter that wakes up before you do? That would be a novelty in my household.
Colin
Thanks, Colin
Yes - well normally not. Last time we did a sunrise shoot, I had to get her up. This time I wanted to see how motivated she was so I had her get me up. It worked! Now she wants to do more sunrise shots next week! Not sure what I have got myself into here.
There's just so much street food in Taiwan... I relied mainly on google and foursquare to figure out what's what
Found this small shop in a rural town we passed by:
The man on the left is shaving off slivers of peanuts, encased in a big hardened block of maltose syrup
These get sprinkled on to a super thin flour tortilla /crepe, with two scoops of some kinda ice cream, less cream, more popsicle
... together with chopped cilantro/parsley
All wrapped up nicely like a mini burrito, sweet, salty and ... soapy
If you're like me, cilantro tastes awful because of genetics lol. The ice cream burrito does taste rather good though
I have been injoying the conversation and pictures of late.
Those dark, river pools and streams remind me so much of Scotland Kristian.
Managed a short trip to the south coast yesterday. Busy working on some infrared pictures from a walk along the promendade.
In the meantime I played with the 55/2.8 micro and PK-12 tube today. An obliging 'Cabbage White' landed on some Verbena.

Dean, the 55mm 1.2 does fine on sensors but it looks remarkably nice on film. I don't have the Coolscan 5000 but I have th cheaper slower V ED. Will look for ways to resurrect it.
I'm pretty sure IQ wise the 5000 & V-ED are identical. The 5000 is just a lot quicker and can do a whole roll at once with the right attachement. As George mentioned, Vuescan works fine with it. I'd also highly recomend NegativeLabPro. At the moment I'm only using Vuescan to create RAW DNG files then processing them in NLP. Works well.
Some more with the 55/1.2 S.C, F100 & Kodak Ultramax 400. I've been trying to get out of my neighbourhood and explore some new ones lately. I took these around Morrison Hill / Happy Valley. Behind those buildings, I stumbled upon this area of about two blocks full of little mechanic workshops with dead scooters & weird stuff around the place—lots of cool stuff to shoot
Thanks for the likes and comments on my previous post. Some really nice shots have been shared as always.
Samy, you keep on imrpressing with some bnw old school photography. Love it.
Colin, that is one beautiful macro shot. Macro and I never works really well, how do you do it??
Scott, great work with the 55/3.5.
Doug, WOW!! Love those sunrise shots. What a beautiful scenery!!
Phong, that is very much how I remember Ho Chi Minh City (if that´s the case ) Millions of motorbikes. I remember getting trapped around hundreds of them in a roundabout in Nha Trang...
Chin, that sounds delicious
Dean, looks like a paradise for a street photographer. Nice shots!
Took the day to work on the Malmö Chili grow station. Brought the D800 and the 28/2.8 ais.
The peppers are growing too slow this year. It´s not warm enough....Hopefully we´ll have a decent harvest in october...we need some of the heat George got in NC or what Reagan have in Florida.. Habanero by Kankara Karlhag, on Flickr
The thread has picked up somewhat and all posts have been enjoyable.
Leighton I see Kristian also has a hoop house. You two need to compare note.
For what its worth JAY has a post on the FX forum of the comet that he shot with a 10' long telescope. It's absolutely amazing ! Think of the most important person on earth and compare that to the Universe.
Raphael thanks for the F4 Corsair, my favorite airplane. Are you still keeping my 50mm 1,2 MCRD lens in the vault?
Some from Staunton. A small railroad station that's now something else!

We just harvested our first Shishito peppers. I fried some up this morning with some eggs, delicious!
Sound like a breckie for winners! Had to Google the shishito peppers. Looks a bit like the ones I'm buying in the grocery store called Pimiento de Padron. Insanly tasty fried in oil with some lime and sea salt 🤤
