Hi everyone - will you allow an old alumnus back? Leighton suggested I come "home" seeing as I'm using my nikkors again; the nikkor S 50mm f1.4 (the first pic) and the 105mm f2.5 AIS (second pic).

good to see old-timers back home... hope it will not take another hundred years to get more pics from you...
I'd say PM him here, it's likely to be faster than snail mail

really?? - but I've seen his posts in the last 20 or so pages.....and anyway, the internet has reached minny surely - I intend to take it very personally if he doesn't respond soon. I have his address and I may need to send him a stern note.

Reagan, like your railway shot. Guessing it´s somewhere in the glades?
Its actually at the Stuart Inlet the water goes from the intercostal to the ocean
There tracks have a draw bridge in the the first photo
They stay up unless a train is coming so boat traffic can go thru
Its about 2 miles to the open ocean
Thanks a lot Reagan! Lot's of scenes like this on the beach there...I guess you are happy with Florida though
I checked the Stuart inlet on the Google maps. Dont know why I thought it was the Glades. I used to watch a tv show called The Glades (I think). Looked a bit from scene from the show perhaps...
Reagan - "lens gendering"? never heard that before. Are you sure you weren't hit by that train? If you'd have put that Nikon 50 on the Fuji you'd have been closer to those tracks.
Philippe - I forced you to buy the A7S Seriously??!! You just about yanked it from my hands as soon as you heard I'd bought the A7RII. But enough of your delusions - I love the Boss of the Chasseurs Alpins pic. What a great face - with his younger troops in the background- yeah, love it.
Ram. - I'm with Reagan (can't believe I'm saying this) , but yeah, the window shot is very nice. Good to see the 55 f3.5, it doesn't get much love. Is that a spider web the drops are clinging to? It doesn't seem to have any pattern.
Kristin - interesting light in the 3rd shot with the 28; that yellow glow in the foreground set against the dark sky. And are those stars in that sky even though it looks like day?
Thanks for the likes on my previous series of backyard shots. Made a nice walk through Amsterdam, as I was going to pick up a fine 135mm 3.5 Q-C (pix of which will be upcoming later).
Some street shots here, taken with 35mm 1.4 ais on a Df.
