The heavens agree with some of you that the Nikkor 35mm 1.4 N should be used for evenings at Cruising Grand. I creates its own unique look.

Just gorgeous, rafael. Gives the feeling of being there. Even the modern car can be forgiven in this case. It looks special.
Two more from yesterday's experimentation with the V1 + FT1. I got some rust too for the rust fans among us. Not a compelling picture but it was there for the taking. The steel bar is less than 1 cm thick. Saved by the tripod and stillness of the subject. I had not yet realised that Auto ISO does not work with non-chipped lenses. I was wondering why I am getting so low shutter speeds. LoL. I learnt.

Yes, and I'm very happy about that. You didn't post the 2013 one on Flickr so the photo didn't have the same meaning. The only difference I see is that the trees have grown. Is that right?

The 2013 version is on flickr, just in the 28mm album. There are a few differences, but yes, mainly the trees which have grown larger.

I think a computer screen doesn't do this one justice and it probably needs a larger print...
I enjoy the clutter and chaos of dry trees and bush. Taken with the Ai Nikkor 50mm 1:2 @ f/2.8
At the opposite end of the spectrum, this one was taken at the coast where I live. Taken with an Ais Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 wide open with an ND 3.0 10 stop Heliopan filter.
Rafael, great shots of the classic autos. Out of the lot, would gladly take the GT500.
Siphiwe, good to see your darker side and nice photos with the V1. I nearly picked up the V1 many moons ago when B&H Photo was practically giving them away.
Scott, very nice cottage!
A couple more sunset photos over the Hudson.
It is an awesome area for long walks. The Statute of Liberty between the boats on the left.
The tower on the left is the Goldman Sachs headquarters.

Hi Everyone
I'm making a brief return as I've got a cheap adapter for my Canon R5 and I wanted to play with the old Nikkors on Canon. This is the 5.8cm f1.4 that Rafael forced me to buy.
I follow a lot of people from here on Flickr but it's good to be back to catch up with what's happening in "real" photography.
Ronny - you're obviously posting different pics here than on Flickr. I don't think I've seen these latest pics.
Jay - love that second pic of the man and the little boy.

Great series! I was very tempted recently with a very yellowed 35/1.4 at BHPhoto... Never liked my Ais 35/1.4 and sold it quite quickly, but your images make the lens sing
I have a family shoot coming up on the 1st of October so what better way to practice than with the pups. Our property has some unique setting where the light is so soft and elegant, how can you not take photos...
This one of Tika is with the Df and the non ai 50mm F/1.4 a favorite lens next to the 58mm 1.4

A little software infrared. It seems like a good option for days when color (especially in foliage) don't work. 25-50 f4 AIS.
Nice Ray. I was just thinking that this morning on a walk on a nearby trail. No fall colors yet and the greens on the trees are just blah this time of the year. But great for IR. One day I will have to get an IR converted camera. IR filter on the lens only works in some cases, but just too slow for shots like that unless on a tripod. Even then you have to be careful of leaf movement.
Good to see no hot spot on the 25-50. Such a great landscape lens.
